VIP Book Coaching Intensive
Give me a Day and I’ll Give You Months Worth of Progress on Your Book
“You are the answer to many, many years of frustrated, half-hearted attempts at writing a novel, all of which ended with a misguided belief that I wasn't cut out for this. In working with you, I've come to realize I was just missing one critical piece of the puzzle: support and accountability.”
Melissa Mowry
Your exclusive day with Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach Michelle Melton Cox
A limited availability, private, intensive book-coaching experience for just an elite few.
Some people are content spending endless months (or years) trying to:
Get clarity on their book or story idea;
Outline their book;
Make decisions on characters, point of view, plot, voice, and conflict;
Research the elements of a book proposal and figure terms like TOC (table of contents), Comp Titles and Manuscript Specifications;
Fix the structure of a book that’s not working; and,
Revise and actually get their book out into the world.
But YOU don’t want to waste more time spinning your wheels, trying to figure this book out.

If you have a fire in your belly to (finally) write and finish your book, but for some reason, that fire hasn’t fueled your progress toward achieving that goal, this experience is for you.
Why? As a result of your VIP Book-coaching Intensive, you will:
save yourself months (or years) trying to figure this writing thing out on your own.
go from being stuck to unstuck, from staring at a blinking cursor to writing your manuscript with confidence.
claim the title of author because you invested in yourself and you hired a pro who was equally invested in you and your book.
“I finally, finally finished a book and it’s because of Michelle’s coaching. Michelle was one part story coach, one part teacher, one part ‘Let’s get this book done!”
Here’s what your VIP Book-coaching Intensive Day WON’T be:
❌ It won’t be a day of touchy-feely activities that inspire you to write (although you will feel wildly inspired).
❌ It won’t be a day of meditation and self reflection to spark your creativity (although you will leave with your creativity on FIRE).
❌ It won’t be like those super expensive writing retreats where you make great friends, drink amazing coffee, do some yoga, meditation and deep breathing and talk about claiming your voice. But when you return home, you struggle to tell a friend what progress you made on your book while you were there, and you still don’t know what your voice is or how to write your book. (Hand raised: this happened to me).
What WILL we do instead, you ask?
Whether you’re stuck on specific things in the book-writing process or you’re just starting out, this VIP Intensive Day is for you.
We will structure your VIP Day to meet you where you are so that you can actually get your book done and out into the world.
Past clients have worked on:
📝 Brainstorming plot.
📝 Creating or fixing an outline.
📝 Examining the book’s themes.
📝 Talking through POV, character misbelief, wounding event and wants/obstacles.
📝 Revising a few chapters together and/or developing a revision strategy.
📝 Pounding out an annotated table of contents, author bio and overview for a book proposal.
📝 Getting clarity on the book or story idea or narrowing down from several ideas to THE idea.
📝 Figuring out where and how to start the book.
📝 Identifying a block or problem and getting unstuck.
📝 Overcoming “overwhelm.”
If you’re struggling in any of these areas, I will develop a customized agenda and session activities for the day to meet you where you are and then move you WAY beyond that starting point by the time we’re done.
But what if you do not know where you’re stuck or you have no idea what the next step is for your book?
No worries, I’ve got you covered. We will figure that out during our Kickstart Discovery Call and then I’ll get busy customizing your day.

"You make me feel like I know what I'm doing which is a real confidence booster! When I get stuck with idea generation, you're there to provide a bird's eye view of a scene, and when I need to get into the nitty gritty of my characters' emotional development, you know the questions to ask to help me deepen and expand them. I also like that you point out where I could deepen things in a second draft, but help me keep the momentum of the first draft by not getting caught up in minor details.

“So...this writing a book thing can be great, exciting, inspiring, motivating...and shit all in one breath. The process isn't clean, the emotions are plentiful, but the one thing that excites me the most, the thing that pulls me back to the keyboard and puts a pep in my step, is collaborating with such an amazing writer as you. It warms my heart. Thank you. You inspire on so many levels. ✨️ Thank !"

“There are SO many things I could say here. First, I appreciate her integrity in that she only takes projects she believes in. Secondly, I really appreciate that Michelle doesn’t sugar coat her feedback. She will not only tell you what needs to happen to improve your book, but she will also help you make it happen. "
