Helping Chris Daniel Bring Her Christmas Novella to Life

Client: Chris Daniel, First-Time Fiction Writer

The Challenges and Opportunities

The Challenge:  Crafting a Believable and Engaging Story

Chris, an aspiring writer, was working on her first Christmas novella. While her ideas were promising, she struggled with developing authentic characters and keeping the plot engaging. She needed help structuring the story  to make it appealing to readers, especially with her lack of experience in the fiction world.

Leanne’s Expert Guidance:  Building a Solid Foundation


Leanne worked closely with Chris to help shape her story. Through fortnightly sessions, Leanne guided Chris in refining the plot, strengthening character arcs, and ensuring the narrative flowed from start to finish. 


She helped Chris identify and close gaps in the story, such as unconvincing character motivations and weak plot points. Leanne’s insightful coaching didn’t just focus on technical edits; she helped Chris understand how to develop her story in a way that was true to her voice yet engaging for her audience. 


By the end of the process, the novella was polished and ready for publication.



The Outcome:  A Published Novella and a Confident Writer


Thanks to Leanne’s coaching, Chris brought her story to life successfully. Her Christmas novella was published as part of a holiday anthology, and Chris now felt confident in her ability to continue writing. Leanne didn’t just help Chris finish her manuscript; she became a trusted mentor and friend throughout the journey.

"Leanne is bright, funny, insightful, and easy to communicate with. She has in-depth wisdom and knowledge beyond her years. She was able to help plug holes in my story and plot to shed the dross and expose the gold (literally!). Worth every minute, pound, or cent. I not only found a superb book coach but a new friend to boot!"
