This is For You If You’re...

  • In the process of writing a book (fiction, nonfiction, collection of essays or poems), whether you’re just starting or halfway through

  • Struggling with consistency, focus, and executive function while trying to maintain a writing practice

  • Looking for professional feedback on your manuscript that goes beyond line edits and addresses story structure, character development, and narrative flow

  • Ready to develop sustainable writing habits that work with your brain, not against it

  • Wanting to reclaim your narrative and write confidently without the cycle of burnout and overwhelm

  • Committed to showing up for yourself and your writing with expert guidance and accountability

Why Coaching?

Coaching supports writers with ADHD who often struggle with starting tasks, managing fluctuating energy levels, staying focused amid distractions, and building a consistent writing routine. You don’t need to “push harder” or figure it out alone. You need a coach who can offer brain-friendly strategies, mindset support, and developmental feedback that helps you finish your book.

“In a results-driven society, there’s so much shame if you’re a creative struggling to complete a project. After speaking with Candice, that shame quickly dissipates. She helps you find beauty in your process. Her knowledge of ADHD and personalized methods help you get out of a creative rut or when your brain draws a blank in the middle of a draft.”
— Nicole H.

Why a 3-month Coaching Package Makes Sense

  1. Supports lasting change. Neuroscience indicates habit formation averages 66 days, with complex behaviors needing 90+ days for it to feel automatic.

  2. Normalizes "good enough" writing, builds resilience, and reduces immediate pressure by allowing time for thoughtful feedback and revision.

  3. Focused support to make meaningful writing progress, providing the crucial experience of follow-through that builds confidence and breaks negative patterns.

Important Tip

This package is flexible, meaning you can use all 3 months consecutively or break up the 3 months across 6 months.

NOTE: All components in this package must be used within 6 months, unless otherwise agreed upon with coach.

What Your Writing Life Could Look Like After Coaching...

  1. Imagine starting your day with clarity and energy. You’re excited to sit down and write without the mental clutter, knowing exactly what you want to say.

  2. Imagine stepping away from your writing feeling accomplished, not drained. You enjoy lunch without guilt, because you made real progress.

  3. Imagine closing your laptop at the end of the day, proud of what you accomplished. You’re able to relax for the night, knowing you wrote in a way that feels good and sustainable.

  4. Imagine walking into a cocktail party after work, champagne in hand, telling friends you’ve finally finished your book!

  • Once you decide to move forward, you’ll receive a coaching agreement and invoice. To secure your spot, sign the coaching agreement and submit your payment (either in full or the first installment of your plan) within 72 hours of receiving your invoice. This ensures your coaching journey starts on time and your spot is reserved.

  • For the month-to-month coaching option, you have 3 months to use all of the sessions and reviews. For the 3-month package, you have 6 months from your payment date to complete all sessions and reviews. Life happens, so if an unexpected situation arises, extensions may be granted on a case-by-case basis (though they are not guaranteed).

  • That’s normal, especially with ADHD. Coaching is designed to be flexible — we’ll adjust milestones, troubleshoot obstacles, and celebrate progress at any pace. You don’t need to be “perfectly consistent” to see results.

  • 1:1 monthly coaching is ideal for writers working on book-length projects — novels, memoirs, essay collections, or nonfiction manuscripts. While line editing and proofreading aren’t included, I provide developmental feedback on story structure, flow, and clarity.

  • Not at all! Some clients come with just an idea or outline, while others are halfway through their manuscript. We’ll meet you exactly where you are and create a plan tailored to your project and your brain.

  • Expect about 2–4 hours per week for coaching calls, reading feedback, and implementing strategies. Your writing pace is flexible — the goal is to build a sustainable, brain-friendly rhythm that works for you.

  • Many writers extend into month-to-month coaching or another 3-month package. I’ll share options before your package ends so you never feel “cut off” from accountability or feedback.

  • Yes! Coaching clients receive 10% off partial (up to 100 pages) or full manuscript developmental edits. My current rate is $0.040/word (e.g., a 55,000-word manuscript = $2,200 before discount, $1,980 after), but is subject to change. Learn more: creativethrivecoaching.com/developmental-edits.

  • If you’re curious but uncertain, a discovery call is the best place to start. We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and what a brain-friendly writing routine could look like for you.
