“It pays to invest in your craft and working with Debut Books is an incredibly valuable experience. Proven industry professionals are a much better source than Dr Google, and unlike a search engine, Katherine is approachable, intuitive and encouraging. A great option if you’re feeling at an impasse with your writing/ publishing career.”

“My favourite part of the program so far, has been the accountability and the positivity. Having the list on Notion and the weekly check-ins have kept things moving even when I wasn't really feeling it, and the calls are brilliant. It's the first time I've used a coach for my writing, and there's no way I would've been making this kind of progress without you.”

“Katherine has kept me accountable in the kindest and most understanding way possible. Thanks to her support, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on the first draft of my first novel, something I've been dreaming about for years. I highly recommend Your Novel Adventure if you've always wanted to write a novel and you just want to get it done.”

YOUR NOVEL
ADVENTURE
Your Novel Adventure takes a holistic, big picture approach to writing a book.
We all have responsibilities that dominate our time – managing a household, raising a family, caring for loved ones, paid work, unpaid work, managing illness or injury… the list goes on.
Your Novel Adventure takes a holistic approach to writing that provides tools for self-awareness, productivity, continuous learning, self-care, and adaptability to allow you to navigate writing and finishing your first draft while accommodating life's unpredictability.
Let’s break the process down into flexible, manageable, and actionable steps. Together, we’re going to address the biggest challenges you are experiencing and finish your book with clarity and confidence. If something doesn’t work, we find out what is getting in your way and do it differently.
We’re in this together.
The program is designed to meet you where you are and ensure that every time you sit down to write, you have created the best situation for you to write.
Your Novel Adventure is a celebration of all that is possible for you!
