Coaching and Mentoring Services

Candace Sinclair, writing coach and mentor, offers private telephone consultations to answer all your  questions and to keep you accountable so you can complete your writing project. I’m in the dream business; I like helping authors realize their dreams of writing and publishing books.

Getting Started

To get started with Candace as your writing coach, you can arrange a free phone consultation. Just contact me, tell me a little about your writing dreams, and we’ll set up an initial no-charge and no-obligation appointment. Plan to spend 20-30 minutes with me on the phone when it’s convenient for you not to be interrupted.

What’s This Going to Cost?

My mentoring fee is $125.00 per hour, and is payable before we begin the mentoring and coaching phone call. You can purchase up to four coaching calls a month, and if you have remaining minutes at the end of the month, they’ll roll over to the next month. Coaching sessions must be utilized within 60 days, to be fair to other clients who would like to schedule time with me.

If you have a family emergency that will prohibit you from attending our coaching call with me after you’ve submitted your payment, we can make personal time adjustments, according to your circumstances. If possible, I like to have 24-hour notice for all cancellations. However, the 60-day rule is still in effect, so if you aren’t sure about your schedule, then just use a pay-as-you-go system.

If I decide to sign up for your mentoring sessions, what can I expect?

During our initial no-cost, no-obligation phone conversation, we’ll establish what will help you the most to jump-start your writing efforts. Then I’ll create a custom plan and timeline for you, according to when you’d like to finish your book or writing project.

Below I’ve listed examples of how I’ve helped writers and business owners.

• Brainstorm a book idea
• Create chapter titles for the book’s outline
• Coach-client status update on progress and where you’re getting stuck in the process
• How to turn boring content into best-seller pages
• Showing you where to begin
• Talking about the marketing strategies before writing your first page
• Going from a working title to a title that sells books
• Creating an author bio
• Increase book sales by having your own website
• Doing keyword research and creating an attention-grabbing book title
• Creating web content that converts to sales
• Ranking your website to become #1 in the search engine results

Every Famous Author Had a Mentoring Coach

Just like every athelete has a coach, and every Olympic Gold Medalist has a coach, the same is true for writers who have a dream of becoming a publishing author.

Sure, millions of people WANT to write a book, but how many will actually do it? If it’s truly your dream of wanting to write and publish a book, then you have to start somewhere, but you don’t have to do it alone!

 Do you procrastinate about hiring a mentoring coach because you think you don’t have the time?

Mentoring takes one hour a week or four hours a month as a time investment. And you don’t have to drive anywhere or change out of your comfy clothes. You just pick up your phone, call me at the appointed time, and take notes while we talk. At the end of our call, you’ll have a clear plan for what you need to do next. It really is that simple.

Are you ready to get started with your first mentoring session?

Just click this link which will take you to my Contact page. Fill in your contact information, and tell me a little about your wrting project. Then tell me the best days and times that we can chat (free consultation). I’ll send you a return email with a couple of times when I’m available, and then we’ll book the call.

At the end of our brief 20-30 minute orientation chat, I’ll ask you if you’d like to set up your first official mentoring session to get you moving forward with your book. If you’re not ready to proceed, then at least you have information that you can use in the future. But I’d really like to help you get started. I promise that you’ll come away with more information and enthusiasm in one hour than you’d get from months and maybe years trying to get the same information and motivation by yourself.

I’m waiting to hear from you. Contact me right now. You have nothing to lose. There’s no cost for our “get-to-know-each-other” phone conversation. Really.

Make today the day that you begin the first steps in writing your book! You won’t be sorry for learning about the mentoring process.
