"I've had the pleasure of working with Jacqui on the editing of my Intentional Success Program and without doubt, she added enormous clarity to the structure of my script, and strengthened my writing style in the process. Her editing approach was insightful and specific, and Jacqui always delivered her feedback to me in a respectful way that was easy for me to accept. My writing has definitely become much stronger because of Jacqui's expertise." – June 2006

"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 But most of all it's a practical handbook that all writers - published and unpublished - should consider an essential part of their professional kit.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."
 Alison RobertsMD Energy Connexions http://www.alisonroberts.co.uk 0208 861 4047 Why I decided to use a coach: I had reached a point where I was serious about my writing and was ready to invest some time, energy and money into it to make it work. Writing can sometimes be a very lonely thing and I it’s important for every writer to benefit from the on-going focus and motivation that coaching brings. What attracted me to Jacqui: I ran a search on Google and was immediately drawn to Jacqui. Her site is professional and well laid out and I read her blogs. She struck me as being very experienced and most importantly, passionate about writing. She got back to me immediately, which impressed me and I had an initial consultation and chat. Initial Consultation: Jacqui’s approach is very business like and direct at the same time as being gentle, probing and empathic. She really listens too – a rare quality. Coaching: My coaching with Jacqui has had a huge impact on my life, my writing and how I write. Initially she gave me a lot of encouragement, which was what I needed most. This lent value to my work and ideas and encouraged me to express myself freely, exploring concepts and ways of writing that I would never have dreamt of before. From my initial sessions, I now have a clear idea of what I want to convey in my book, have stopped going round in circles and have achieved my goal of writing an initial book outline. I am well on the way to filling that in and suddenly, a book does not seem so daunting a prospect. She has re-kindled my love of writing and I am excited about my project. Using her thoughtful guidance and feedback, I am confident that I can achieve my dream of having my book published. Coaching with her has surpassed my expectations in a very short space of time. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jacqui to anyone who wants to write and is serious about doing so. – June 2006 |
| Diana Morgan Writer and former CEO "Word count Tuesday to Friday - 4,500!! Blimey! What sort of magic fairy writing dust are you scattering?! This is the key to me I think - not giving up on writing where I would have done before. Whatever you're helping me to reveal about myself, thank you ... I’m going to start calling you a white witch as well!”" - May 2006 Linda Buckley-Archer Author of ‘Gideon the Cutpurse’ Simon & Schuster 2006 ""Jacqui's approach to life coaching is, like her writing, insightful, sensitive and lucid. Few coaches can have such a wealth of literary experience behind them when guiding their clients to make the right creative decisions."” - April 2005 Judith Evans Writing Student "“I have learnt so much working with Jacqui over the last year. Her suggestions to deepen my scenes and, if necessary, use less of them, have improved my writing for which I am very grateful.”" – June 2006 Stephanie Zia Author of ‘Baby on Board’ and ‘Mum’s the Word’ - Piatkus ""Jacqui immediately made me feel relaxed. She didn't dictate to me in any way. The most obvious benefit was making me think for myself about myself, not something I have time to do in my daily routines. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jacqui as a coach.”" - August 2005 “Annie” – Romantic Novelist Writing on: http://scribes3.blogspot.com "“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 |
