Maybe you’re lost in the messy middle, unsure how to tie it all together. Maybe you’ve rewritten the first chapter fourteen times and still hate it. Maybe you’ve just stopped opening the document because every time you do, you feel overwhelmed.
Perhaps you just need more time… even though you’ve been stuck like this for months or years.
You don’t need more time. You need a breakthrough.
That’s exactly what the VIP Book Breakthrough Day delivers.
You don’t have a talent problem. You don’t have a skill problem. You probably don’t even have a time problem.
You have a clarity problem: you can’t see what your book needs because you’re too close to it.
You have a structure problem: something about how your book is organised isn’t working, but you can’t figure out what.
You have a confidence problem: you’ve lost faith in your idea and your ability to finish this thing.
And you have a momentum problem: the longer you avoid it, the harder it gets to start again.
❌ Your manuscript sits there for another 6 months (or 6 years) gathering digital dust
❌ You feel guilty and ashamed every time someone asks “how’s the book going?”
❌ You waste the work you’ve already done because you abandon it entirely
❌ You miss out on all the opportunities that come from being a published author
❌ You never get to experience the satisfaction of holding your finished book
❌ Your readers – the people who NEED what you have to say – never get to read it
✓ Someone with experience who can see what your book needs (because you can’t see it anymore)
✓ A day of focused, intensive work to sort out the structural issues and get unstuck
✓ Accountability to actually DO the work instead of just thinking about doing the work
✓ Fresh eyes on your manuscript to tell you what’s working and what’s not
✓ A clear, realistic plan for finishing this book once and for all
✓ Your confidence and enthusiasm back
That’s exactly what the VIP Book Breakthrough Day gives you.
You complete a detailed questionnaire about:
You upload your manuscript (however messy or incomplete it is) to a private Google Drive folder – I need to see what we’re working with, warts and all.
You get Telegram access to me so you can ask questions as you’re filling in the questionnaire.
I send you a surprise in the post because who doesn’t love getting mail?
I read your questionnaire and manuscript thoroughly. I’m looking at structure, flow, clarity, voice, what’s working and what’s not.
I contact you to clarify anything from your answers or to dig deeper into specific issues.
I customise the VIP Day framework to your specific circumstances – this isn’t a cookie-cutter process.
We work together on Zoom. This is how a typical day flows (though I adapt it based on what you need):
9:00-10:30am – STRATEGY SESSION 1: Diagnosis
We dig into:
I set you homework for the next session. This might be any of the following (or something different):
10:30-11:45am – WRITING SESSION 1: You Do The Work
You go offline (or stay on if you prefer) and work on the homework.
Meanwhile, I conduct a high-level structural review of your manuscript:
11:45am-12:30pm – Check-In
We review what you’ve done and I give you immediate feedback before lunch.
12:30-1:30pm – LUNCH BREAK
Go eat. Stretch. Walk around. Let your brain rest.
1:00-2:30pm – STRATEGY SESSION 2: The Fix
We go through my structural review together and figure out:
We outline in detail what you’re going to write/rewrite in the next session.
2:30-4:00pm – WRITING SESSION 2: More Work
You write or rewrite based on what we’ve mapped out.
I create your Finishing and Publishing Timeline – a step-by-step roadmap showing exactly what needs to happen between now and publication, with realistic deadlines.
I’m available via Zoom or Telegram for questions, cheerleading, or arse-kicking as you write.
4:00-5:30pm – STRATEGY SESSION 3: What Happens Next
We celebrate what you’ve accomplished today (because you WILL have made real progress).
Then we look at next steps:
Wrap up feeling clear, excited, and ready to finish your brilliant book.
All recordings and notes are uploaded to your private Google Drive folder – yours to keep forever.
I send you:
For 30 days you have:
We have a 45-minute follow-up call where you:
✅ Real clarity on your book’s structure: you know what goes where and why
✅ A significant chunk of writing done: you’re not leaving with just a plan, you’re leaving with actual progress on your manuscript
✅ Confidence in your book again: you remember why you started this and you’re excited to finish it
✅ All the recordings, notes, and resources: everything we created together, yours to keep forever
✅ Your personalised Finishing and Publishing Timeline: a step-by-step roadmap from where you are now to holding your published book in your hands
✅ 30 days of ongoing support, accountability, cheerleading, and access to me so you don’t lose momentum
✅ A 45-minute follow-up call to keep you on track and answer questions that come up
✅ A clear understanding of what was blocking you and how to avoid those blocks in future
✅ Tangible progress: chapters restructured, scenes rewritten, clarity restored
Kevin had been sitting on his half-finished book for TWO YEARS. We spent a VIP Day together, sorted out his confusion, restructured the book so it worked, and created a plan he could stick to.
Six months later, his book was published and became an Amazon business bestseller in just three weeks.

Because momentum matters, but it’s not either-or.
Some of my clients work really well in my longer coaching programmes. But some want to spend deep time in a burst of work that sets them up for the longer haul.
One intensive day means:
Plus, you get 30 days of follow-up support to maintain momentum, so you’re not left hanging.
This includes:
Think about how long your manuscript has been sitting there incomplete. How much is it worth to you to actually finish it?
When can we schedule the VIP Day? I offer only six VIP Day slots per year, no more than one per month, and I never schedule sessions in December. Once you apply and we agree to work together, you’ll choose your preferred date at least 3 weeks in advance.
What if my manuscript is a total mess? Perfect. That’s exactly what we’re fixing. I’ve seen messy manuscripts before; it doesn’t faze me (and they’re never as messy as you think).
What if I haven’t finished my first draft? That’s fine. We can work on whatever stage you’re at – whether that’s restructuring what you have, finishing the draft, or fixing a completed manuscript.
Can I work on multiple chapters during the writing sessions? We’ll focus on whatever will give you the most progress and biggest breakthrough. Sometimes that’s one chapter done really well, sometimes it’s fixing several smaller sections. We’ll figure out the best approach on the day and I’ll already have a good idea of what needs the most work.
What happens if I can’t make a 7-hour day work? The VIP Day is designed as an intensive, so I don’t split it across multiple days. If you genuinely can’t commit to 7 hours in one day, the 3-month Creative Book Coaching Programme with weekly 90-minute calls might suit you better. (Caveat: if time zones are a problem, we can look at splitting the day in two.)
Will you tell me if my book is rubbish? I’ll tell you honestly if there are structural or clarity issues, but in 15 years of doing this, I’ve never met a book idea that was genuinely rubbish. Usually it just needs the right structure, clarity, or focus. That’s what we’ll create together.
What if I need more support after the 30 days? We have the 45-minute follow-up call, then you can book another VIP Day, or move into the 3-month Creative Book Coaching Programme for ongoing weekly support.
Is there a recording? Yes, all strategy sessions are recorded and you’ll have access to download them within 24 hours.
Can we do an in-person day? Yes! While most VIP Days happen virtually, I’m happy to travel for in-person sessions, just let me know where you are. Travel and accommodation costs apply, but you’ll get a bonus: I’ll take you out for a celebratory dinner afterward!
Are there refunds? Due to the bespoke nature of the VIP Day and the extensive preparation involved, I don’t offer refunds. However, I do guarantee this: you will leave with clarity, tangible progress, and a clear plan to finish your book. If you don’t feel you’ve achieved that by the end of our day together, we’ll schedule a follow-up session to make it right.
VIP Days are limited to six per year, no more than one per month.
Here’s the process:
If you haven’t started writing yet, choose a Book Breakthrough: Unlocked session instead: 90 minutes to get crystal clear on your idea and structure.
If you want ongoing support over 3 months, check out my Creative Book Coaching Programme – weekly calls, manuscript reviews, and Telegram support to get your whole book written and publication-ready.
If you’re just researching options, join my daily email list for writing tips, encouragement, and the occasional kick up the bum: Notes in the Margin.
Your manuscript has been waiting long enough.
Book your VIP Day now, and in less than a month you could have:
Stop avoiding your book. Let’s fix it.
