Ready to finish your writing project?

I’m here to help.

Maybe you’ve had an idea for a novel that’s been rattling around in your brain for years, eager to get out into the world.

Maybe you have a novel that’s half written or shoved in a drawer. Maybe you’ve spent years worldbuilding and are ready to move forward with scene building and a propulsive plot structure.

Maybe you have a finished manuscript that you love, but one that needs some revision to be the strongest version of itself. You might be ready to query your novel with agents or to self-publish, but you’re looking for some support.

Perhaps you used to love writing but have found yourself stuck or frustrated .

If you need writing support, hello! I’d love to talk about it.

Book a call with me. Let’s chat.

Book Coaching Services

As your book coach, I’ll teach you elements of writing and craft that are tailored to your needs and support you at each stage of the drafting and revision process. I’m also here to cheer you on!

Here’s an overview of how the process works:

  • You’ll send me 10-20 pages of writing every other week.

  • I’ll send back written comments. I send notes about what I loved as well as questions that will help you go deeper or explore other elements of the story.

  • We’ll schedule a 90-minute meeting (in person or online) every two weeks. We’ll talk about the writing you submitted, your writing goals, and elements of craft such as character, plot development, worldbuilding, and writing dialogue.

  • The support I give you will shift as your project develops.

Cost: $200/every two weeks

Testimonials

  • I want to especially thank Christina Scheuer for coaching me so beautifully through this book and the care you took in helping me realize my vision. You are an amazing book coach, editor, and friend!

  • Christy is a dream to work with. As a novel writing coach, she has a knack for seeing my blind spots, especially when it comes to plotting and developing conflict, and helps me find direction whenever I have been lost or stuck. Extremely insightful and delivers her feedback in a way that energizes me to keep writing even when I've hit writer's fatigue.

    — Phil Partington

  • Christina has been my writing coach, editor, and primary collaborator for several years. We have worked on multiple projects together, including my 5 star-rated novel, Host. I have worked with Christing through every stage of the creative writing process. She acted as my sounding board for early concepts, helped me develop and structure early drafts, and finally helped me polish and prepare for publishing. She always kept the work in mind, spending the time to develop a deep understanding of my themes and characters. She was able to see, not only what was there, but what could be, then helped me find it. Her feedback was always assertive but respectful, insightful and honest.

    — Chris Lodwig, author of Host
