Untitled design (46).png — WHAT IF YOU COULD WRITE YOUR BOOK IN JUST SIX MONTHS?

Here’s the truth about writing a book:

You wouldn’t have the dream and the desire to write one if it wasn’t possible for you to do so.

And deep down, you know you’re capable of it.

But in the same breath, you wonder how the heck to actually do it—how to sit down and write the damn thing.

You’re stuck in an endless loop of writing-related YouTube videos, TikToks, or writing classes. You read books on the craft of writing and listen to publishing podcasts and go down late-night Google wormholes of “how to get published” or “how to write a novel.”

And on top of that, there’s an undercurrent of fear running through the background.

Fear of failure. Of rejection. Of letting someone else read your story. Of not being good enough. Of not having enough time in the day to write when you have a job, a family, and a dozen other responsibilities.

It’s time to change that.

*You can* ***absolutely*** *write your book in just 6 months. And I can’t wait to show you how!*

I'm READY TO WRITE MY BOOK

“Knowing that you were there if I needed to work through ideas helped me keep on track to finish, which I don’t think I would have done otherwise because I can get into my own head, but having your support forced me to keep pushing through those mindset blocks. I enjoyed working with you and would highly suggest it to anyone else in my situation!”

— E., coaching client

“I loved working with you and would do it again and again if I could. You are a storytelling & editing powerhouse and were invaluable in this entire experience. I don’t know how to say thank you enough. You felt not only like a business partner, but a friend when it came to writing, and beyond. You helped me shape this book into being something that was just floating in my brain, to being tangible, something I can print out, hold, read.

The amazement I feel at myself, how GOOD I feel about this accomplishment, is something that I never would have been able to feel without you. I would have kept making excuses., I would have kept putting it off because I just couldn’t fathom breaking such a big task into just 6 months, but I was able to do it!”

— Kamy, coaching client

A lot of new writers have talent, but they don’t understand the basics of writing a novel. They spend years writing an entire book only to get to the end and realize their story needs serious work.

Through one-on-one mentorship, we can work on any issues in real-time instead of waiting until the end to fix them. This will save you an incredible amount of time and energy!

Hi! I’m Katie Wolf. I’m an editor and writer, and I love nothing more than helping other writers pursue their writing dreams.

I have a degree in English Literature and have always been a voracious reader, but I wasn’t always a writer. I was held back by fear and perfectionism and an overwhelming sense that my writing wouldn’t be good enough.

In other words, I know exactly what it’s like to desperately want to write the book that’s been burning inside you but feel stuck and overwhelmed at the thought of actually writing it.

“What if I’m not a good writer?”

“What if I can’t finish my novel?”

“How can I let other people read my work?”

Real talk: You can keep yourself small and stay stuck in the mud of believing that your gifts aren't special. That the market is over-saturated. That it's impossible to get discovered in a landscape of wannabe writers. But you know what?

It's a lie.

Your writing voice, your creativity, your you-ness?

They’re the keys to your success.

Once I realized this, everything changed.

My first book took me two years to write. My second? Just six months. I discovered a drafting and editing process that allowed me to get a first draft out in a matter of months, not years.

And I want to help you do the same!

MORE ABOUT ME:

I have a BA in English Literature and Master’s in Library and Information Studies. My writing has appeared in Medium, Elephant Journal, Riggwelter, Magnolia Review, and more. I’ve written two novels, and I’m represented by Mollie Glick at Creative Artists Agency. As a freelance editor, I’ve helped numerous clients polish their manuscripts and prepare for self-publishing or querying agents for traditional publishing.

“I signed up for coaching because I wanted to talk to/work with someone who understood how to write a book better than I did. The experience of working with you was great! You were very understanding and flexible and had lots of great suggestions and advice.”

— MISTY, coaching client

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will you change my book idea? Will my writing still sound like me?

My job as a coach and editor is never to change your voice or alter the flow of the story. I simply want to help you write the best book you can.

My editing/feedback style will help you polish your work and make your writing shine while also honoring the authenticity of your voice.

Will you help me come up with a book idea?

No, you should have a strong idea, outline, or a work-in-progress before we begin working together.

What if I already have a draft written?

If you have a draft written, we’ll start with either a round of self-edits or a manuscript assessment, depending on the state of the draft. We’ll go through multiple rounds of revisions to get your manuscript as ready as it can be for either traditional or self-publishing.

In other words, this program can be customized to meet your needs!

What genres do you work with?

This program is designed for novels, and I work with any genre except children’s/middle grade books.

I have a critique group/writing partner/beta reader. How is this different?

That’s great! Connecting with other writers is an important part of a satisfying writing life. But are they taking the time to really understand the ins and outs of your book? Do they have experience giving actionable feedback through manuscript evaluations or coaching?

Probably not. Critique groups and writing partners and beta readers are fantastic resources, but their support only goes so far. With one-on-one coaching, I’ll understand your book almost as well as you do. We’ll be collaborative partners on this writing journey, and you’ll experience a level of personalized support and accountability that you just can’t get from writing groups.

Do you offer a guarantee that my book will be successful?

The market changes quickly, and there’s no way to predict with 100% certainty what will sell. And if you ever encounter a coach or editor who GUARANTEES you’ll sign with a literary agent or sell thousands of copies after working with them, run the other direction!

What I can guarantee is that at the end of six months, assuming you put in the work, you’ll have a completed book you can be proud of.

Can I really write a book in 6 months?

Yes! Let’s use a standard 80,000 word novel as an example.

If we plan for two months of revisions, we’ll want to get a draft written in four months. That’s 20,000 words a month, which is about 667 words a day. And 667 words a day is about 2.5 double-spaced Microsoft Word pages.

That’s it! If you can commit to 2.5 pages a day or 17.5 pages a week, you can absolutely write a book in a matter of months.

If you believe your manuscript will be over 120,000 words, contact me to discuss.

Additional client feedback:

“I struggled with actually finishing my book. You were incredibly patient and supportive of someone who was terrified to let someone else read my work. I have a polished novel that I am very proud of!”

“I gained confidence in you from watching your social media posts and I recognized your intelligence, knowledge and compassion right away. I was not disappointed. I was blown away by your knowledge and insight. My novel will be much better for it!”

“You are as friendly as you are professional. Your ability to handle something as important (and personal) as a manuscript, while still providing apt, thoughtful and timely feedback is unmatched. I felt like you really understood my vision for my story and your comments and suggestions insightfully reflected that. There are few people I would trust to read my unpublished manuscript and I felt it was safe in your hands.”

“I struggled with knowing if I was headed in the right direction. As a debut author it’s hard to know what the next best step to take is. You were very personable and easy to work with!”
