You’ve dreamed it. Maybe you’ve even written some of it. You can almost see it in your hands, feel its weight, smell those freshly printed pages with your name on the cover.
But the gap between where you are now and that finished book feels immense. Intimidating to say the least. At times, impossible.
That’s because you don’t just want to write “a book.” You want to write a great book. A book you’re proud of. A book that makes an impact.
And you’ve listened to enough book-writing podcasts to understand the essential fact every author learns sooner or later:
Writing a great book is SO much more than typing words onto a page.
I'm here for all of it.
I’m Mara Eller, a professional editor and writing teacher with over 16 years of experience.
I specialize in nonfiction, both prescriptive and personal (memoir). After earning a graduate certificate in Publishing and Editing, I’ve worked on academic nonfiction, prescriptive nonfiction (self-help, thought leadership, personal development), devotionals, news/journalism, and memoir, including hybrid memoir.
As a book coach, I bring my dual areas of expertise—teaching writing and editing books—to our work together. You benefit from the gentle, encouraging support and crystal clear explanations of a seasoned teacher + the sharp eye and professional insights of an experienced editor.
Let’s get your book out of your head and into your reader’s hands.
No matter how you slice it, writing a book is hard business. In the 16+ years I’ve been working as a freelance editor, I’ve yet to come across an author who said otherwise. It’s a huge undertaking, requiring hours and hours of your time, a ton of industry know-how, and a will of steel to persist when inner (and outer) critics get loud.
That’s why only about 3% of those who start a book ever finish. Sobering statistic, I know. But having a coach dramatically increases your chances of finishing—by up to 90% according to some studies. Having the right kind of support can be the difference between a half-written draft collecting digital dust and a finished book you’re proud to share with the world.
The key to actually finishing your book (without losing your mind) and producing one you’re proud of (without wasting thousands of dollars or years of your life) is to set yourself up for success from the beginning.
By investing in coach, you’ll ensure you dive in to drafting your book with an expert-approved structure and appropriately detailed outline so you know exactly what to write for each chapter.
Plus, you’ll have a mentor by your side to offer professional guidance, insider insight, and evidence-based encouragement.
Together we'll make a rock-solid plan for finishing your book, so you’ll walk away with absolute clarity on what you’re saying and how you’re saying it + the kind of confidence that only comes from working with a pro who knows how to bring out your best writing (not just a nice friend telling you it's "good").
Here’s what some of my book mapping clients have said.
