Tell Me if this Sounds Like You…

You dream of having a book–maybe you’ve even started on it–but you haven’t made the progress you’d hoped. The “finish line” of a published book seems impossible to reach.

You’re recognized as a thought leader by your peers and are always answering questions of colleagues, though the term “expert” may make you a little nervous.

And yet–you recognize the incredible VALUE of having a book. With a book, you can:

Stand out from the competition

Show your expertise to clients right off the bat and build trust with them. It’s powerful to say: “I wrote the book on that!”

Share a message that’s been calling you (maybe for years now)

Gain access to bigger opportunities: Bigger stages, higher-ticket clients, more income, etc.!

Finally say…”I did it! I wrote a book!” Feel the pride that comes with completing a HUGE, worthwhile endeavor that can impact people far and wide.

You’re ready to make the leap to “expert status” via your book–but the how feels out of reach.

You think: “This is too overwhelming. I don’t know if what I have here _____________ [makes sense/is sellable/is interesting].”

”There are so many qualified people talking about my topic. Who am I to think I have something new to say?”

“How do I turn this from a doc on my computer into a full fledged book?”

“I don’t know how I’m supposed to figure all this out AND continue my regular work. Better drop the book for now.”

“I could write a book that’s AWFUL and waste all my time. How do I know the book would be good?”

“It all feels too overwhelming. I don’t know where to get help.”

I get it. Writing a book can feel like summiting Everest. You’re left wondering…would it even be worth it?

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with a million questions and to let that overwhelm you and stop you in your tracks.

Luckily, you don’t have to go it alone.

👉The Book In Six Author Coaching Cohort is for thought leaders just like you who are ready to finally write and publish their books, with the support of a professional team and your fellow authors.

When you enroll, here’s what you get:

👉 Upon enrollment, you and I will have a 1.5 hour Zoom call where we’ll deep dive into all the aspects of your book. We’ll figure out your big vision for the book, how it aligns with your career (and life!) and how to create an outline that brings all of those aspects together.

👉 You get two weeks of email support from me after our session so we can continue building the outline

👉 When the cohort kicks off in January, bring your outline–it’s time to start making your book plan: a realistic plan for how you’ll write your book in the next six months, according to the outline we’ve created. Then, execute it!

👉 We’ll also have a bi-weekly virtual coffee shop. You log onto Zoom with your fellow authors: for one hour, all is quiet as we work to meet our word count goals. At the end, we celebrate! Writing is a solitary act, but that doesn’t mean you have to be lonely while doing it.

👉 You’ll receive WEEKLY email coaching to keep you on track with your book plan. You’ll also receive feedback on your pages weekly–both big picture and line edits. Most author coaching programs do not offer this!

👉 You won’t have to question what shape your manuscript is in–you’ll know in real time what’s working, what needs to be clarified, and how your book is landing with readers.

👉 As part of the Book In Six Author Coaching Cohort, you’ll have access to bi-weekly group coaching calls to talk about all your writing and publishing questions. One call will be focused on your writing questions, submitted prior to our group meeting. For the other call, you’ll hear from an expert guest speaker who will answer your top questions about book publishing and marketing. We’ll hear from experts who specialize in:

Marketing your book
Amazon publishing + how to rank
Cover design
Editing and proofreading your book

….and much more!

“Jennifer Locke is incredible and helped me take this big idea–in fact, multiple ideas–and break it down into something that felt clear and manageable.”

–Marin Laukka, Author of Ready Enough

Hi, I’m Jennifer (but you can call me Jenn!).

I’ve been writing books for the better part of a decade.

I’ve coached dozens of aspiring authors to write the books of their hearts.

I’ve helped clients land book deals with Big Five publishers.

Basically, I’ve always been a HUGE book nerd…and I turned that into a career!

Here’s What I Hear Most Often From My Clients:

Do any of these sound like you?



”I actually think I need to write TWO books! HELP! Which book should I write?’



”I think I want to self-publish…is that okay? Will people take me seriously?



”I said I wanted to write my book by 25th Feb, but it hasn’t happened yet. I’m so ready to finally write this book.”



“I’ve started working on the book…but I’m not sure if my work makes any sense. Who would read this?”

My clients have the PASSION and DETERMINATION to write a book. They’re going to write their books, one way or another–it’s just a matter of time!

BUT…

They need a guide. Writing a book is simply too big an endeavor to go it alone. They’ve tried!

They’re tired of being stuck, their book dreams put off year after year. If they could just figure out the HOW, their books would be on shelves already.

“Jennifer helped me figure out the structure of my book and get the right voice for my ideal reader. Her editing help was also super valuable! I recommend hiring her if you have a book idea you want to actualize.”

—Aviva Legatt, Author of Get Real and Get In

First, click below to fill out the application. Then I’ll be in touch!

R

After the session, you’ll get a recording of the call, my notes, and email support from me for the next two weeks as you build your outline.

R

If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule our 1.5 hour Zoom call where we bring your book to life! We’ll clarify how this book will fit into your big mission and vision, what will be in the book, how you’ll brand it in order to stand out from the crowd.

R

Bring that outline to our cohort kickoff in January! There, we’ll make your book plan–and it’s off to the races. Time to FINALLY write your book.

Who is this for?

The Book In Six Author Coaching Cohort is perfect for you if:

R

You’re ready to uplevel to “expert status” by writing a book (even if the term “expert” makes you nervous).

R

You think you want to self-publish so you maintain control of the book’s release date. (I help traditionally published authors too, but the timeline from writing to publishing is MUCH longer and more complicated!)

R

You’re ready to take all the good work you’ve done on your book–or your swirling book thoughts!–and turn them into a book you’re PROUD to promote.

R

You don’t want to do this alone! You want the support of publishing professionals and fellow authors who will cheer you on.

It’s NOT for you if…

R

You want to write fiction or a literary memoir. I love reading, writing, and ghostwriting those genres, but you’d be better served by a book coach who focuses on those types of books.

R

You can’t commit to the book plan which you create. If you show up and do the writing, my team and I will be there for you one thousand percent…but you have to do your part.

R

You don’t believe that impact > intent. I take words very seriously, which means that if your words read as harmful to a marginalized community, I will kindly point that out and suggest an alternative way forward. This experience is for conscious, ethical authors who want their books to “do no harm.”

Imagine this time next year…

You’ve made an amazing new group of author friends who are there to support you and your book.

You’re telling everyone you know about your book. They’re so excited and proud.

You’ve put your heart into the pages of a book you’re so proud of, a book that will help you uplevel your career and your life.

You’ve finally done it–you’ve written and published your book.

What’s the Investment?



$1297 Deposit, plus $1297/mo for the six months of the program.

The deposit covers your initial 1.5 hour call + two weeks of email support. There’s no obligation to continue in the Cohort after this experience, but if you choose to do so, the deposit holds your spot.

“[Jenn] has a way of turning passion and ideas into something tangible, which is exactly what I needed. 90 minutes with Jenn saved my book from being a “nice idea that I’ll never actually get to.” If you’ve got a book idea floating around in your head – you need to hire this woman. She makes the process so practical and approachable!”

–Andrea Wetherald, Owner, & Beyond
