"The Writing Coach: 30 Days to Conquer Your Self-Doubt and Procrastination and Have 30,000 Words Under Your Belt"
- £19.95 ($39.50)
"Jacqui Lofthouse's e-Book was incredibly useful to me at a time when my writing became stuck. There's such a clever mix of advice on inspiration and craft. But most of all it's a practical handbook that all writers - published and unpublished - should consider an essential part of their professional kit. It saved that novel's life."
- Liz Jensen, Author of 'The Ninth Life of Louis Drax', 'War Crimes for the Home' and 'Ark Baby'

"Jacqui Lofthouse's e-book gave me focus and renewed purpose at a time when I was not organised enough to do much other than run away to the country with it on a laptop. As with all Jacqui's work, it is beautifully written and a delight to work with. I am drawn to reflect on her insights frequently as I pursue various projects, especially the advice to allow the unconscious to provide insights into fiction. I'm going to print it up for my reference shelf."

“Jacqui Lofthouse’s “The Writing Coach: 30 Days to Conquer Your Self-Doubt and Procrastination and Have 30,000 Words Under Your Belt” is the most brilliant piece of writing instruction/motivation/inspiration I've ever come across - and, believe me, I've come across a lot in my time. In a nutshell, it's a 30-day programme designed by novelist and writing coach, Jacqui Lofthouse, aimed at getting you to write 1000 words a day - and it's definitely working for me.” - June 2006

Are you ready to kick ‘writer’s block’ forever and become a confident and highly productive author?
“My central message for you is this: Every word you write is valid. Every word you write is part of the process. If you do not allow yourself to write because you fear failure, then your unique creative contribution to the world will be stifled before it is born.”– Jacqui Lofthouse
It’s a myth that having a sound knowledge of ‘technique’ is the key ingredient required to write a good book. In her 12 years as a professional novelist, a creative writing teacher and a coach, Jacqui Lofthouse has discovered that motivation and confidence are key issues for all writers. The fear of the blank page plagues authors at every level of their career. Indeed, countless wonderful books never get written because too many writers simply don’t have courage to get the words on the page in the first place.
Jacqui has made it her personal mission to understand what motivates writers, what is the source of our creativity and what gets in the way of it. In this e-Book she guides you through the process of overcoming your fears and, in Maupassant’s words, getting ‘black on white’.
A Note from Jacqui:
If you follow this programme, I guarantee that you will emerge from the 30 days as a different kind of creative artist. Overcoming ‘Writer’s Block’ is only the first part of this programme. You will also experience the following benefits:- You will understand your own creative processes
- You will know how to get writing, even when you don’t feel like it
- You will gain self-confidence as a writer
- You will have established your own voice
- You will be passionate about your writing and enjoy every moment
- You will have experienced the excitement of working with your personal writing coach
- You will have written 30,000 words of your book – a 100 page manuscript
I am frequently overwhelmed with what happens when writers lose self-doubt and decide to put procrastination behind them. I have been privileged to witness writers who felt they had no idea where to begin, suddenly discovering their own voices and blossoming as creative artists.
Every day, on this programme, there is a writing exercise. If you follow the exercises, at the end of the 30 days, you will have a manuscript of 30,000 words. Days 1-10 are about conquering self-doubt and procrastination. Days 11-20 lay the foundations for a writing life. Days 21-30 enable you set yourself up for writing success. It’s that easy. And I promise – no pain! Only passion.
