AUTHOR STRATEGY SESSION

Stop Guessing About Your Next Move as an Author

One challenge. One focused conversation. One personalized plan for moving forward.

Sometimes you don't need another course, another Google search, or another notebook full of information.

Sometimes you need someone who understands the author journey to listen to what's happening and help you figure out what to do next.

Maybe you have several book ideas and don't know which one to pursue.

Maybe you've started writing but you're stuck.

Maybe you're struggling to organize your book.

Maybe you've finished your manuscript and don't know what comes next.

Maybe you're confused about editing, ISBNs, self-publishing, or distribution.

Or maybe you simply know:

“I need help figuring this out.”

That's what the Author Strategy Session is for.

Author Strategy Session with Coach Shelly Lee

$97 | 60 Minutes | Private One-on-One Coaching

The Author Strategy Session is a private coaching conversation focused on one primary challenge you're facing in your author journey.

We'll spend 60 minutes talking through what's happening, identifying what's keeping you stuck, and determining the direction you need to move forward.

Then, after our session, I'll create a Personalized Author Action Plan based on what we discussed and send it to you within 3 business days.

No information overload.

No trying to solve your entire author journey in one sitting.

One challenge. Focused guidance. A clear plan for what comes next.

What Can We Work On?

Your session can focus on one primary author challenge, such as:

• Choosing between multiple book ideas.

• Clarifying your book's message or direction.

• Identifying who your book is for.

• Organizing scattered book ideas.

• Figuring out what belongs in your book and what doesn't.

• Getting unstuck after you've started writing.

• Creating a realistic writing plan.

• Figuring out what to do after you've finished your manuscript.

• Understanding editing and what type of editing you may need.

• Understanding ISBNs, self-publishing, or distribution.

• Determining your next move when you're overwhelmed by the author process.

You don't have to know the solution before you book.

That's why we're meeting.

How It Works

Step 1: Complete Your Intake Questionnaire

Before we meet, you'll complete a short questionnaire telling me where you are in your author journey and the one primary challenge you need help with.

You do not need to send me your manuscript, chapters, outline, or other documents.

Your answers will give me the background I need for our conversation.

Step 2: Meet With Me for 60 Minutes

During your private session, we'll focus on your primary challenge.

I'll ask questions, listen to what's happening, help you sort through the issue, and provide personalized coaching based on your situation.

Together, we'll work to identify the direction you need to move forward.

Step 3: Receive Your Personalized Author Action Plan

After our conversation, I'll take time to consider what we discussed and prepare your Personalized Author Action Plan.

You'll receive it by email within 3 business days after your session.

Your Action Plan will help you understand:

✔ What you should focus on next.

✔ What actions you should take first.

✔ What can wait until later.

✔ Any resources or professional services I recommend based on your situation.

You won't have to remember everything we discussed or wonder what to do once the call ends.

You'll have your personalized plan to guide your next move.

Is This Session Right for You?

The Author Strategy Session may be right for you if you:

• Want to write a book but aren't sure what to do next.

• Have started writing but feel stuck.

• Have too many ideas and need help narrowing your focus.

• Feel overwhelmed by the writing or publishing process.

• Have finished your manuscript and aren't sure what comes next.

• Have researched so much that you're more confused than when you started.

• Want personalized guidance instead of another one-size-fits-all tutorial.

• Are ready to take action once you know what to do next.

You don't need to have everything figured out.

You simply need one author challenge you're ready to work through.

What You'll Receive

Your $97 Author Strategy Session includes:

✔ Pre-session intake questionnaire.

✔ Private 60-minute one-on-one session with Coach Shelly.

✔ Personalized coaching focused on one primary author challenge.

✔ Personalized Author Action Plan delivered within 3 business days.

What Is Not Included?

The Author Strategy Session is a coaching and strategy service.

It does not include:

• Manuscript or chapter review.

• Document review.

• Editing or proofreading.

• Book formatting or cover design.

• Done-for-you publishing services.

• Ongoing coaching or unlimited follow-up.

If you need a service beyond the scope of the Author Strategy Session, that would be handled separately when an appropriate service is available.

Why Work With Coach Shelly Lee?

For more than a decade, I've helped aspiring authors move from uncertainty to action.

As the founder of Pen.Paper.Publish™ and creator of the 5P Method™ — Pray. Plan. Pen. Proof. Publish. — I help aspiring authors understand where they are in the author journey and what they need to do next.

I've coached and mentored approximately 100 aspiring authors through different stages of writing and publishing.

I'm also an author, so I understand that writing a book isn't simply about putting words on paper.

For many aspiring authors, the book represents a message, a story, an experience, or something God has placed on their heart to share.

My approach combines faith, practical strategy, encouragement, and action.

Sometimes you don't need more information.

You need the right direction for where you are right now.

• Approximately 100 aspiring authors coached and mentored.

• Founder of Pen.Paper.Publish™.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I'm not sure what my main challenge is?

That's okay.

Complete the intake questionnaire and tell me what's happening. At the beginning of our session, we'll narrow the conversation to the one primary challenge that deserves our attention.

What if I haven't started writing my book yet?

You can still book.

We can talk about challenges such as choosing your book idea, clarifying your message, identifying your reader, organizing your ideas, or figuring out how to begin.

What if I've already finished my manuscript?

You can book too.

Your challenge may involve figuring out your next stage, understanding editing, ISBNs, self-publishing, distribution, or another decision you need to make before moving forward.

Do I need to send you my manuscript or any documents?

No.

Please do not send your manuscript, chapters, outline, or other documents for review.

This is a conversation-based coaching session. Complete your intake questionnaire and come prepared to talk about your primary challenge.

That's all you need.

What if I have more than one challenge?

Each Author Strategy Session focuses on one primary challenge so we can give that issue the attention it deserves.

If you have another challenge you'd like help with after we've addressed the first one, you're welcome to book another Author Strategy Session.

We'll handle your author journey one challenge at a time.

What happens after the session?

I'll use what we discussed during our conversation to prepare your Personalized Author Action Plan.

Your plan will be emailed to you within 3 business days after your session.

What if I need help with another issue later?

You can book another Author Strategy Session whenever you have another author challenge you'd like personalized help working through.

If what you need falls outside the scope of a strategy session, I'll let you know whether another service would be more appropriate.

Does the session include follow-up coaching after I receive my Action Plan?

No.

Your Author Strategy Session includes your 60-minute coaching conversation and your Personalized Author Action Plan.

Ongoing coaching and extended follow-up are separate from this service.

If another challenge comes up, you can book another Author Strategy Session.

Is this only for Christian authors?

My coaching and the 5P Method™ are rooted in my Christian faith.

However, aspiring authors from all backgrounds who are comfortable with my approach are welcome.

You Don't Have to Figure Out Your Entire Author Journey Today

You just need to figure out what to do next.

If you've been stuck, overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, or trying to piece everything together on your own, let's talk through the challenge that's keeping you from moving forward.
