Book Coaching Program
Fantasy Footsteps:
Road to Publication
If you can relate to any of these thoughts, your worries can be over within the week!
Do you ever think to yourself …
“I have ideas, but how do I transfer them to the page?”
“I want to move forward, not backward, in my draft.”
“I’ve read books, attended seminars, and listened to podcasts on writing, but I still don’t know how to write my book!”
“What if my writing isn’t good enough?”
“I want my story out in the world. I just don’t see a clear path to get there.”
What if your writing life could look radically different?
What if you could . . .
Move forward in your writing every day according to a proven roadmap?
Overcome the mindset issues holding you back?
Receive personal feedback so you’re always on the right track?
Book 1:1 support calls with someone rooting for you?
Write a story that makes your target readers stand up and cheer?
I’ll let you in on a secret. All you need to succeed as a writer are three things:
1. A roadmap (so you know what to do)
2. Mindset work (so you gain the ability to do it)
3. Support, accountability, & personal feedback (to make sure it gets done!)
If you’re thinking, “Yes, please! Tell me what to do!”, book a consultation call with me to see if 1:1 coaching is exactly what you need to finish your fantasy novel and write a story that works.

Nadir Shirazi
“I’ve been stalling on my Islam-inspired sci-fantasy series for 10 years. But within 10 minutes of starting Nicole’s program, I started writing again. Her warmth, friendliness, kindness, and ability to deal with eccentric people like me were the kickstart I needed to dive in. I feel like a new person.”

This program presents a clear path to creating a novel from brainstorming to crafting a story. Nicole is a valuable resource and has built this program around the needs of writers.”

Frequently Asked
Questions
Looking for more info? I’ve answered some of the most common questions I receive here.
Will I receive personal attention in this program, or is this a course I complete at my own pace?
You’ll receive personal attention. I’ve created this program to benefit writers in the most effective way possible. A course alone doesn’t cut it—because who’s there to get you back on track if you stray from the path? In Fantasy Footsteps, you’ll have the opportunity to ask all your questions, get personal feedback on your scenes and outlines, and book 1:1 brainstorming and support calls with me.
As for the pacing, the 6-month program is designed for writers who want focused action steps each week—action steps they can complete whether or not they work a full-time job. The breakdown of the 6 months can be adjusted depending on what works best for you, but you’ll have the guidance you need from the brainstorming stage all the way to deciding upon your publication path.
How do I know this program will work for me?
If you’re the type of person who doesn’t ask questions when you need help, and you don’t have much interest in growing as a writer, my coaching will not work for you. On the other hand, if you commit to things that matter to you, ask questions as they arise, and LOVE to learn ways to improve your craft, this program will be hands-down the best investment you’ve ever made as a writer.
I’m wondering about finances. What does Fantasy Footsteps cost, and is there a payment plan available?
I always like to hop on a call with a writer before officially offering my program and going over details like cost, simply because I genuinely only make offers to people I am confident I can help and know will be a good fit. That’s why the writers in my program get results! You can book a free call anytime if you’re curious. That said, I do offer a payment plan, and it does include a monthly option.
Will I be able to keep the material from the program and use it as I write additional books in the future?
Absolutely! All the video trainings, templates, and worksheets are yours for life. You’ll be able to refer to them each time you sit down at your computer and start a new novel. No more dreaded blank screen—because you’ll always have the direction and focus you need to get words on the page!
Do you work only with fantasy writers?
I’ve designed Fantasy Footsteps for fantasy writers, but I also work with writers developing other types of speculative worlds. If you’re curious, book a call to see if we might be a good fit!
Will you edit my novel in Fantasy Footsteps?
Fantasy Footsteps is all about book coaching—supporting you and providing you with direction and specific feedback on your writing as you navigate brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and publishing.
You’ll have an opportunity each week to submit outlines and scenes for analysis, and we’ll spend 2 months in the revision stage, so you’ll know exactly how to handle revisions and editing when you get there!
Do you publish my book and/or own any rights to it?
No and no! Your book is 100% yours. As for publishing, I focus mainly on the writing itself, but we’ll discuss publication and marketing tips, along with the best publication path for you.
So don’t wait! If you want to …
write your best book, one that resonates with readers
see your story in the world at last
gain confidence as a writer
get those 5-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads—and know you’ve earned them
repeat the process each time you start a new book
Take the next step …
I’ll ask you questions about your goals and your story. If we’re a good fit, you can start the program within the week. And if I don’t think Fantasy Footsteps is right for you at this time, I’ll point you in the right direction. Either way, you’ll get massive clarity on your best next steps, and we’ll have fun talking about writing!
If you’re on the fence about booking a call, ask yourself, “What would my empowered future self do? The version of myself who has already published ten books and gained confidence and fulfillment along their journey? Would they hesitate? Or would they take that leap ten times over?”
I’m excited to meet you!
