Author Accelerator Certified Book Coaching with Colleen Scott

I help novelists writing women’s and general fiction gain clarity, structure, and forward momentum—whether you're drafting, revising, or preparing to query.

  • Strengthen your craft with story-driven strategies

  • Refine your voice and plot through each stage of your manuscript

  • Stay motivated with structure, encouragement, and clear next steps

  • Overcome blocks and burnout with a coach who meets you where you are
