Everything you need to write your novel:
from idea to finished manuscript
. . . in spite of the stress of the day job; and responsibilities of family
You’re here because you’re tired of scrolling your social media while binging Netflix and seeing all your friends post about their short story and book sales.
You’ve taken the writing classes.
You definitely have stories inside you to tell;
But after a long day of work, you don’t really feel like writing . . . so you don’t.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
You’ve set your own writing aside time after time, because you’ve put so much energy and effort into loving on your writing community, providing feedback, (and commiseration), and cheering their successes.
If only you could put that energy, motivation, and time into your OWN writing.
- You would be the one inviting friends and family to your book launch party.
- You could be the one getting all the social media love and congratulations on your most beautiful book cover
- Your manuscript would be the one with edits and feedback for once, instead of someone else’s
- You’ll be at peace when you to go to bed at night, knowing that you wrote that day and that you are making tangible progress toward achieving your writing goals.
Of course, writing a Novel isn’t for everyone.
It takes time, energy, and dedication.
It isn’t always fun or easy, and there are no guarantees of bestseller-dom.
It’s MUCH easier to scroll social media and eventually feel so jealous and guilty that your friendships suffer.
And you will always wonder “what if I had pursued it.”
But hey.
Lean in.
I know you. . .
And NOT writing hurts more than the actual writing.
You KNOW that after a single writing session you feel like you can conquer the world.
You can’t give up on the dream. Not yet.
The stories inside you NEED to be told.
The world NEEDS to read them.
Don’t keep your stories to yourself a minute longer!

And just who am I?
With a Master’s degree in Writing Popular Fiction and as a graduate of the Odyssey Writing Workshop, I’ve published five books (so far), one of which won the Writer’s Digest Self-Published E-Book Award. Along the way, I experienced a lot of doubt, rejection, and writer’s block which pushed me to figure out how to get through it all to meet my deadlines.
I know exactly how difficult it is to come up with a story idea and believe in it enough to spend time developing it into a novel. I’ve struggled without having a deadline or a writing partner to hold me accountable. But I also know how much more productive I am with that accountability, constructive in-depth feedback, and with guidance to help me through the drafting and editing process. I also know how AMAZING it is to be sitting at the table after my book launch, and signing books.
I’ve got your back.
In the FREE discovery call, you’ll get a good feel for me and my coaching style, and if we’ll be a good fit. We may even decide that coaching isn’t what you need, in which case I’ll direct you to the resources that will be more beneficial to you. But if we do start coaching, and either of us find it isn’t working, we’ll talk about it, see if the issues can be resolved. If they can’t, you will receive a full refund.
Here’s what others have asked before working with me!
What an athletic coach does for your body, a Success Coach does for your life. Coaching is a powerful one-on-one supportive relationship that will assist you in finding out what winning in life really means to you. A Coach provides the tools, structure and support necessary for you to design a life that has purpose and fulfillment.
Coaching works because the immediate focus is on what is most important for the client. The client’s individual needs, values, beliefs, goals, visions and dreams are brought to the forefront. Coaches are trained to help you discover the answers, which are already in your possession, and then utilize them with purpose and clarity. In other words…. get results faster!
Coaching is not therapy. Therapy focuses on working with the past to heal old wounds. Coaching is positive, working with the present, and successfully moving forward.
Each session will last 30 – 45 minutes. Before the session, you will be required to fill out a Session Preparation Form to optimize your results and our time together. After the session, you will also be required to complete a Post Coaching Integration Form to support your growth and commitment and success.
In our first session, we will set out a plan, customized to your needs. From there, on each call, we’ll start with some accountability, discuss any issues you’ve had between calls, and come up with solutions. We’ll cover any questions you have, and your homework will be based on your writing plan.
I love living in the age of technology! All calls, including the discovery session, are held over Zoom..
Clients’ confidentiality is ensured and information will not be released without informed consent, except in cases where a child/youth’s safety, well-being, or the safety of others is at risk. Specific information may be released, at the coach’s discretion, as per the Criminal Code of Canada, and the guidelines of the Province of Manitoba, and where the coach is required by law to give evidence in court.
If you have a quick question, or find your progress stalling, between calls send me an email and we’ll get you back to writing in no time!
Not a problem! The tools you learn through coaching, plus the added support of my course (which you have lifetime access to), you’ll be well on your way to getting your book done, and the next book, and the next.
Writing takes time. You may need to give something else up to make time for it. If you really don’t have time to spare, then maybe this isn’t for you at this time. But if you’re spending hours scrolling social media or bingeing television and then saying you have no time, maybe you have more time than you think.
Absolutely! You can get full details on my course, The DAring Writer here: https://thedaringwriteracademy.teachable.com/p/the-daring-writer/
I am so glad you asked! My books are available as both paperback and ebooks. You can order them through your favorite bookstore. If you check out this page, you’ll find more information on each of my books, and links to your favorite format.

Send me an email at sherry@sherrypeterscoach.com. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have to make sure if this is right for you.
This is your opportunity to take your book from idea to finished manuscript.
Yeah, you COULD go to workshops, and writing groups, and read every book on writing there is, but it will mean more time and money, without the accountability or the guidance through the writing process. The book you write won’t be the best book you can write, if you finish it at all..
I’ve spent that money on workshops and grad school and books. I’ve spent time in writers groups. Everything I have learned goes into my coaching. And so does my coach training!
Together, you will get your book done, you will reconnect with your creativity, love writing again, and we’ll have a whole lot of fun along the way.
