As your story doula, I’ll help you bring your first draft to life through online coaching sessions scheduled to suit your needs—whether that’s weekly, biweekly, or monthly. My coaching process is designed to give you structure, accountability, and ongoing feedback, all to support your progress as you write. For each session, we agree on a word count goal up to 5000 words. You submit your work by the deadline, and I return your manuscript with marked-up pages and detailed comments before we meet. During our session, we review my feedback together and plan your next steps so you can keep moving forward. I ask for a minimum commitment of eight one-hour private sessions at $125 per session (for a total of $1,000). All sessions take place via video call, and I keep scheduling and structure flexible and tailored to you, ensuring you receive the personalized support you need to complete your manuscript.

“Sylvie’s reputation preceded her, which admittedly intimidated me. I admitted I was shy about showing her my work. Her feedback shows great insight, support, and intelligence. She helped me find my voice and the words to tell my story—a truly comforting experience.”
