Draft your book in 3 months with expert guidance every step of the way and a coach who won’t let you quit.
Stop trying to figure this out alone. In The Book Breakthrough Lab, you’ll get the structure, support, and accountability you need to take you from blank page to finished first draft in 90 days.
You know you want to write a book.
You’ve read the articles. Maybe you’ve bought the courses. You’ve tried to follow the templates. You’ve started and stopped. You’ve outlined and abandoned. You’ve written chapters you hated and deleted them.
And through all of it, you’ve been trying to do it alone.
Here’s what happens when you try to write a book by yourself:
❌ You spend weeks “planning” and “researching” instead of writing
❌ You write for a while, lose momentum, and stop
❌ You have no idea if what you’re writing is working
❌ You get stuck on structure and can’t figure out how to fix it
❌ You second-guess everything and rewrite the same sections 3,293 times
❌ You give up because it’s too hard and you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing
❌ Your brilliant book never gets written, and that’s unacceptable
Writing a book alone is HARD. Writing a book with expert support, accountability, and guidance is… still hard, let’s be honest – but actually doable and enjoyable.
What you actually need:
✓ Someone who can see what your book needs (when you’re too close to see it yourself)
✓ Regular accountability so you do the work instead of putting it off
✓ Structural editing as you write, catching issues early instead of fixing a mess later
✓ Honest feedback from someone who knows what makes a good book
✓ Help developing YOUR voice instead of copying someone else’s template
✓ Support when you hit the inevitable “this is rubbish and I should quit” moment (spoiler: it’s not rubbish and you shouldn’t quit)
✓ Guidance on all the things you don’t yet know (structure, publishing, design, marketing)
✓ Someone who understands the beauty of your ideas and won’t let you give up
That’s exactly what the Book Breakthrough Lab coaching programme gives you.
How it works:
WHEN WE START:
The first two calls solidify your foundation:
Deep dive into your Big Idea and who it’s for
Create your detailed Reader Journey – understanding your ideal reader’s psychology, needs, and transformation
Build your complete book outline so you know exactly what you’re writing and in what order
Identify your goals: what you want to achieve in your life/business over the next 6-12 months and how your book fits in
Set realistic targets based on how much time you can actually commit (we work with your real life, not some fantasy version pushed on you by the rich bros with wives and nannies to take care of the messy bits)
Smash through mindset blocks that’ll try to stop you, and give you tools to defeat them every time their raise their ugly snouts
I set up your private Google Drive folder where all our calls, notes, and your manuscript will live.
You start writing with absolute clarity on what you’re doing.
THROUGHOUT THE 3 MONTHS:
Every 2 weeks we have a 60-90 minute Zoom call where we:
Review what you’ve written since our last call
Work through any structural issues or places you’re stuck
Plan what you’re writing next
Solve specific problems (chapter structure, transitions, voice, clarity)
Keep you on track with deadlines and accountability
Celebrate progress (because you WILL make progress)
Each call is recorded and uploaded to your private Google Drive. Watch them back whenever you need a reminder or confidence boost.
After each call, I send you:
Written notes summarising what we discussed and your next steps
Video notes highlighting the most important points
Specific things to work on before our next session
Between calls, you have:
Telegram access to me: ask questions, get unstuck, send me pages for quick feedback, get encouragement when you need it (I respond within 4 hours on office days)
Manuscript reviews: I read what you’re writing and give you detailed feedback on structure, flow, clarity, voice
Written critiques: not just “this is good/this needs work” but specific guidance on how to improve
As we work together, we cover:
Writing craft: developing your voice, storytelling techniques, how to make your writing compelling
Book structure: how to start and finish strong (both the whole book and individual chapters)
Titles and chapter titles: these are sales tools, and I’ll show you how to make them work
Calls to action: getting readers to actually DO something with what they’ve learned
Reader psychology: understanding what makes people buy and read books
Publishing strategy: traditional vs independent publishing, what’s best for YOU
Book design: working with professionals, what makes a cover work
Writing your blurb: making your book irresistible on the back cover
Author bio and media pack: positioning yourself for media, readers, and booksellers
BY THE END OF 3 MONTHS:
Most clients reach at least copyediting stage – meaning your manuscript is structurally sound, well-written, and ready for a final polish.
Some clients get to fully publication-ready (depends on how much time you can commit – we aim for about 10 hours per week of writing time).
You’ll have:
A complete manuscript (or damn close to it)
Confidence in your book and your writing
A clear publishing plan
Everything you need to get your book into readers’ hands
The skills to write your NEXT book (because you will probably want to write another one… it’s addictive)
What’s included:
✅ 12 weekly Zoom calls (90 minutes each): intensive coaching sessions to solve problems and keep you moving forward
✅ All calls recorded: download them to your Google Drive and keep them forever
✅ Detailed book outline: created early in our work together so you always know what you’re writing
✅ Written + video notes after every call: your homework, key points, and action steps
✅ Telegram support between calls: 4-hour response time during office hours for questions, encouragement, and quick feedback
✅ Manuscript reviews and critiques: I read your work as you write it and give you detailed structural feedback
✅ Private Google Drive folder: where all our work lives (calls, notes, your manuscript, resources)
✅ Reader Journey deep-dive: proper psychological understanding of who you’re writing for and what they need
✅ Writing skills training: developing your authentic voice, storytelling techniques, making your writing compelling
✅ Complete book structure guidance: from opening to closing, how to make every chapter work
✅ Publishing strategy: traditional vs independent, what’s best for your goals and circumstances
✅ Book design guidance: covers, blurbs, author bios, making your book look professional
✅ Accountability and cheerleading: I keep you on track and celebrate your wins
✅ Expert structural editing: catching issues as you write instead of fixing a mess later
This is NOT just coaching. It’s coaching + editing + strategy.
Encouragement and accountability are great, but it’s not enough.
You also need someone who can:
Edit your manuscript structurally as you write (not just say “great job!”)
Identify what’s not working and show you specifically how to fix it
Develop your authentic voice instead of making you sound like everyone else
Keep you accountable to realistic deadlines
Guide your publishing strategy so you’re not wasting time on the wrong approach
That’s what you get with this programme.
I’m not just cheerleading from the sidelines. I’m in the trenches with you, reading your work, editing your structure, solving problems, and making sure you actually finish this book.
Real results from past clients:
“She made my book a good book – but more than that, she gave me the confidence to feel good about my book. She held my hand every step of the way. She validated my ideas, and saw through my fears and concerns to give me the insights, advice and kicks up the bum I needed.”—Kenda Macdonald, Automation Ninjas
“It’s very reassuring to have someone tell you, ‘You can do this’ when everyone else is saying, ‘You can’t do that, you can’t write a book.’ She took the fear out of it, and broke the whole thing down into steps rather than a great big thing.”—Meera Jethwa
“The live calls for me were game changing. It’s Vicky’s zone of genius. Watching her hot-seat, unpacking, and elevating people’s books is her actual Ninja skill. What she did for mine was amazing but watching her do it for others enabled me to write better.”—Yinka Ewuola
Is this for you?
This programme is perfect if you:
Are committed to writing your book (not just “thinking about it”)
Can dedicate approximately 10 hours per week to writing
Want expert guidance, not just cheerleading
Need accountability to actually do the work
Want structural editing as you write, not after you’ve finished a messy draft
Are willing to be challenged and do the hard work
Want to develop YOUR authentic voice, not copy a template
Are ready to finish your draft in the next 3 months
This programme is NOT for you if:
You’re not willing to commit time to writing (this isn’t passive – you have to do the work)
You want someone to write the book for you (that’s ghostwriting, not coaching)
You’re writing fiction (I work exclusively with nonfiction)
You just want cheerleading without honest feedback (I’ll tell you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable)
You’re not coachable (if you can’t take feedback, this won’t work — I’m honest but I’m ALWAYS kind and my aim is to help you write the best book you can write)
Why 3 months?
Because that’s actually enough time to write a book.
If you can commit approximately 10 hours per week to writing (that’s 120 hours total over 3 months), you can get a solid first draft done with structural polish.
That’s:
50-60,000 words (a “proper” nonfiction book)
Structurally sound and well-organised
Written in your authentic voice
Ready for copyediting and publication
Three months is:
Long enough to build momentum, develop your writing practice, and actually finish
Short enough to maintain focus and urgency (not drag on forever)
Realistic for getting real work done without burning out
You get 12 weekly calls plus 3 months of Telegram support and manuscript reviews.
You’ll also get bonus access to my Creative Playground twice-daily writing sessions.
That’s intensive, hands-on support throughout your entire writing journey.
Investment: £7,500 +VAT
This includes:
12 weekly 90-minute coaching calls over 3 months
All calls recorded and available to download
Detailed book outline and structure
Written + video notes after each session
3 months of Telegram support (4-hour response time)
Manuscript reviews and structural editing as you write
Private Google Drive with all resources
Complete writing, publishing, and marketing guidance
Accountability to actually finish your book
Payment plans available:
3 monthly payments of £2,500
4 monthly payments of £1,900
5 monthly payments of £1,520
Think about the value:
£7,500 for three months of intensive 1-1 coaching, structural editing, and support to write and finish your book.
That’s less than £100 per day for expert guidance.
A developmental edit alone (just one round of feedback on a finished manuscript) costs £3,000 – £6,000.
You’re getting ongoing structural editing PLUS coaching PLUS accountability PLUS publishing guidance for a similar investment.
And you’re getting a finished book that could:
Position you as an authority in your field
Attract higher-paying clients
Lead to speaking opportunities
Shift the cultural conversation and start a movement
Change people’s lives
Open doors you can’t even imagine yet

FAQs
When can we start? I work with only 4 Book Breakthrough Lab clients at a time to maintain quality. Once you’re accepted, we typically start within 2-4 weeks.
What if I can’t commit 10 hours per week? We can still work together, but you might not reach the editing stage in 3 months. We’ll set realistic goals based on your actual available time.
Can I extend beyond 3 months if needed? Yes, we can extend on a month-by-month basis at the monthly rate (£2,500/month) if you need more time.
What if I get stuck or have a crisis mid-programme? That’s what the Telegram support is for. You’re not on your own between calls, you have me in your pocket for questions, encouragement, and problem-solving. If need be, we can dedicate a full session to the crisis or specific challenge. I will not let that crisis derail you.
Will you tell me if my writing is terrible? I’ll tell you honestly if something isn’t working, but I’ll also show you specifically how to fix it. The goal isn’t to make you feel bad, it’s to make your book good. Everyone I’ve worked with is a much better writer than they think they are. And the important part is the ideas; we can always work on technique.
Do you work with first-time authors? Yes. Most of my clients are first-time authors. That’s my specialty.
What genres do you work with? Nonfiction only: business books, memoirs, self-help, personal development, how-to, thought leadership. I don’t work with fiction.
What if I want to traditionally publish vs self-publish? I’ll guide you through both options and help you decide which is best for your goals. The book we create works for either path.
Are there refunds? No refunds once we’ve started due to the bespoke nature of the work. But I guarantee you’ll make significant progress on your book if you do the work. If something isn’t working, we’ll do our best to make it work — and if that doesn’t work, you can give me notice and we’ll cut the programme short. No hard feelings.
What happens at the end of 3 months? You have a manuscript ready for editing and a publication plan. You can then work with a copyeditor, get your cover designed, and publish. Or, if you need continued support, you can extend month-by-month.
