Top Ten Reasons to Start (or Finish) Your Book Before the New Year

The end of the year is the perfect time to focus on your writing goals. Whether you're dreaming of starting your first book, struggling with a messy middle, or trying to get across the finish line, there's no better time to take action. Here's why—and how working with a professional book coach can make all the difference.

  1. Fresh Start Energy
    A new year means new opportunities. Begin 2025 with a sense of accomplishment and momentum by making progress on your book now.
  2. End Procrastination for Good
    If you've been putting off your writing, now's the time to break the cycle. A book coach will hold you accountable, helping you stay consistent and motivated.
  3. Gain Expert Insights
    A coach isn't just a cheerleader—they're a strategist. I can help you identify what's working, fix what's not, and develop a roadmap to finish your book.
  4. Clarify Your Vision
    Struggling with where to start or how to shape your story? We'll dig deep into your ideas and build a strong foundation that ensures your book resonates with readers.
  5. Avoid Common Pitfalls
    From plot holes to pacing problems, first drafts can be messy. I'll help you spot and resolve these issues early, saving you headaches (and rewrites) later.
  6. Focus on Your Strengths
    Every writer has unique strengths. Whether it's world-building, character development, or dialogue, I'll help you lean into your talents while improving weak spots.
  7. Get Unstuck
    Writer's block happens to everyone. I'll guide you through exercises, brainstorming, and proven strategies to reignite your creativity and move forward.
  8. Finish What You've Started

  9. Prepare for Publishing
    Thinking about self-publishing or querying agents in the new year? I'll help you polish your manuscript, write a strong query letter, or create a publishing strategy.
  10. Invest in Your Writing Career
    Whether this is your first book or your fifth, working with a coach can elevate your writing, streamline your process, and help you reach your goals faster.
