“I had a great idea but I was stuck. To really turn it into a book I needed Esther. Sharp, creative and practical”
Anneke Veenendaal

This is included in the Private Writing Coaching program:
Strategy session
This session is the start of our collaboration. What do you want to achieve, what material do you already have, what do you want / can you do yourself, what do you want to outsource?
We will concretize your book idea, make a strategic book plan, and discuss how we will implement it in the coming 3 to 6 months.
During this private strategy session, you will have my undivided attention and focus; you’ll get access to all my knowledge and experience.
Private coaching and mentoring
I will personally guide you through the entire book writing process, from idea to book.
With my personal support, I will show you the process of how to go from coming up with a book idea to writing the story. Plus, with the 12 weekly or fortnightly sessions, you are assured of personal support. I help you with individual feedback to keep up the pace and stay motivated.
With 2 to 4 monthly sessions of 30-90 minutes each to assist you with your current challenges and to help you with any questions you might have. You can also use this time to email me parts of your writing for feedback. In between calls, you can count on my support or feedback via WhatsApp or email.
This way, we ensure that you can make huge steps in three to six months, possibly even finish your book within this time frame. No excuses!
Online program
The video lessons I recorded will guide you through the writing and publishing of your book, step by step. They provide you with the theory, tips, and examples you need to get started. If you watch the videos at your own pace, and then apply the lessons to your book, I can answer any questions during our coaching sessions and give feedback on your work.
This archive is great to consult later in the process, whenever you need inspiration or learn a new skill, for example while promoting your book or writing your next book.
My ‘Reverse Writing’ book + workbook
The ‘Reverse Writing’ book is the ‘bible’ for anyone who wants to share their story or knowledge. You’ll have all the information you need to write your book, all in one place. This handy step-by-step plan guides you through the writing process so that you can focus on the content of your book.
The workbook is a great addition and compliments the book. The workbook also helps you to organize your ideas and your research in a structured way. It is really a workbook: it offers you space for notes and to complete the exercises described in the book.
You will receive both paperback books by mail.
“This method and the weekly calls gave me structure and made writing my book manageable. Each session with Esther guided me back to the essence. She helped me understand that the writing process itself provides key insights that should also be included in my book.”
Willemijn Welten
“If you can’t figure it out for yourself, Esther listens to what you actually want to say
and then just puts it on paper for you. That’s wonderful!”Floor Schuttevaer

The best writing software
In the early days, books were written on a typewriter or even by hand. Can you imagine how complicated that was: you had to think of your entire book before you started writing, you could only work from front to back, making corrections was tricky and sloppy, plus you can't change the order. Fortunately, computers and word processors make it a lot easier these days. They also have super useful functions such as the spell check and 'search and replace'. And there are all kinds of great software and apps that can help make your book even better and facilitate writing. Only: you should of course not spend all your time to find the right tools, then there will be no time left for your book. Therefore, here's an overview.
