Consulting & Coaching with Gillian
Private 1:1 guidance for every stage of your author journey
Private 1:1 consulting and coaching for business authors
Sometimes you need focused guidance on one immediate question. Other times, you want ongoing support, accountability, and a trusted sounding board as you move through your author journey.
Whether you’re writing, publishing, launching, or promoting your business book, these private Zoom sessions give you expert insight, clear direction, a good brainstorm, and practical next steps.
Choose a stand-alone Strategy Session when you need focused help or Private Author Coaching when you want consistent support as you implement.
Every session includes an unedited call transcript for your reference.

Single Strategy Session
Sometimes one focused conversation is all you need to make a decision, solve a problem, or see a clear path forward.
Bring the question, challenge, or idea you want to work through. During our private Zoom session, we’ll talk it through, explore your options, and identify practical next steps tailored to your goals.
Perfect for:
- A focused “power hour” to move you forward

- Supplemental strategy alongside a book writing, publishing, or marketing service
- Experienced professionals who want expert insight in a focused, stand-alone session
No fluff. No generic advice. Just focused strategy tailored to your goals.
Not sure which length is right for you? Most clients choose a 60-minute session for a deeper dive and use 30-minute sessions for focused questions or follow-up guidance.
Strategy Sessions are booked individually, with no ongoing commitment.
