It's not just you, friend...
We all feel the burn (or the nudge, or the tickle) of the book coming through us...
We cram some pages in that previously untouched notebook with ideas, lists, brilliant sentences and vivid memories ...
We find some writing time at the coffee shop, on a bench by the river, and feel the flow of words, like we turned on a faucet ...
By the end of week one, (or fifty-one) you think, Look at me I'm writing a book this year. (You even tell some people "I'm writing a book.")
You tromp along okay like this until you think about how to go from scrawled pages to printed book, from your desk to a bookstore shelf, and then ...
"How the heck do I turn this into a book?"
You need a book coach.
You aren't the only one who ever said writing a book is freaking difficult —it's the toughest thing in the world (next to being a mother).
Here's the good news...
you don't have to do this alone.
I can help you go from idea to book.
Plan the Structure
The writing support and personal inspiration you need to get your book into the world. I'll be with you all the way. From the idea to the social media promotion.
Get the Writing Done
I'll break the writing into doable goals, and we'll review the pages together as you write, and because you speak to me every week or two you'll have built in accountability.
Expert Cheerleading
Storytelling is my passion and I'll always have energy when you don't, nudging you lovingly to keep on writing ... because the world needs to hear what you have to say.
"To the best book coach ever, Patti M. Hall. The title book coach doesn’t even begin to describe your immense talent and support. You were my champion, cheerleader, thread puller, memory prompter, co-conspirator, therapist, coach, editor, and, best of all, friend. I could never have done this without you. I’d still be on the first chapter (crying). Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul."

"Patti Hall is a gem in the publishing world. She understands my thinking and writing process beautifully. My first book was a complex project on a tight deadline but Patti was able to coach me through the writing and lead me through the endless steps of book completion and publishing flawlessly. She is extremely generous with her vast knowledge and experience and she will jump into the ocean of publishing and swim next to you all the way across to solid land. She and I are on to my next book now which I know will be better than the first. Thank you Patti, I could not have done this without you!”

A Mother's Rare Disease Memoir
Landing on a bookshelf near you April, 2020
It's every parent's worst nightmare, that something will happen to our child. Or so we say. But we don't really believe it will happen ... bad sh*t happens to other people, right?
One phone call told me that my son had an extremely rare, infamous disease that only a couple hundred kids were living with at that time. He needed specialists fast.
I dropped everything, my marriage, my friendships, my self-care, and nearly my other son, in order to get what my kid needed. We struggled. We saw darkness together. We didn't get the result we wanted, not entirely, but he's still here.
When the unthinkable strikes, parents Love LARGE.
