The LightWriter Arc
(Our immersive writing program)
5 months. Full-spectrum support. A finished book — so you can start your next chapter as an author.
5 months of creative and emotional support—so you can finally write The End.
The LightWriter Arc is a 1:1, 5 month immersion for writers who are ready to finish their book—with emotional support, practical structure, and a creative ally in your corner from start to end.
Honestly? This package only happened because my writers have asked for it. (I'll share why below). I only work with 3 or 4 writers a year in this way. And, as two of my writers fly the nest (hello, book deals!), I have two spots for 2025. And applications are now open.
Hi, I'm Amy
Let's get to know each other (very well!)
When I launched my online book-writing course five years ago, I honestly thought that would be my hero product—a space where writers could go at their own pace, in their own time. Low commitment, low cost.
But in the past 18 months, everything changed.
Writers started craving something deeper. Not just creative advice, but real conversation. Emotional support. Weekly accountability. Someone in their corner — consistently, compassionately. And they asked me: Can we work together more closely? More often?
This offering was never part of the original plan.
It evolved organically. And it’s now the most wonderful work I do.
I can only take on 3 or 4 clients a year in this way — and for the rest of the financial year, in 2025, I have 2 spots available.
If you’re writing about a deeply personal experience, my mentoring style is releasing, healing, and cleansing. This process often creates big emotional shifts — and the result is not just an epic book manuscript, but meaningful transformation.

I'm an Open Book! 📙
My writers are always surprised by how much I give away—but I'm not here to be a gatekeeper. In fact, quite the opposite. I love to share my know-how and contacts. Over 20 weeks, here's what we'll do together.
🌀 Weekly 1:1 mentoring sessions (or fortnightly, depending on your schedule and desires) – part creative partnership, part emotional anchor
🧠 Chapter-by-chapter editing – you’ll write, and I’ll shape and refine as you go
💗 Email and voicenote support – for when the words stop flowing, or come flooding in
🌟 A custom writing timeline – designed around your life, and what’s realistically achievable
😍 Progress tracking + gentle accountability – I’ll keep you on schedule, so you don’t have to
📙 A personal cheerleader – with the mix of structure and softness this journey really needs.
💙 Trauma-informed, neurodivergent-friendly strategies if you need them. (Girl, I’ve got you! 🫶)
👐 Imperfect, authentic creation. My writers know they can show up exactly as they are. We've written through breakups and heartbreak, Zoomed through panic attacks and kid's tantrums. Every part of you is welcome and valued here — it's all the energy of your story.
This is for writers who want to start and finish their book — and feel held the whole way through.

FAQS
Who is this for?
Writers at any stage — whether you have a full draft, a messy pile of notes, or just an idea you're ready to commit to.
How is this different from your online course?
This is a completely personalised experience with weekly mentoring, chapter editing, and emotional support. The course is self-paced. This is side-by-side support.
Do I need a full book idea to apply?
No — if you have the seed of a story and a willingness to show up for it, that’s enough.
How much does it cost?
I have two options, depending on how often you want to virtually meet (weekly or fortnightly). Once you apply (no commitment at this stage!), and I hear a little more about your work, I can recommend the best option. We also have a payment plan, so all fees are staggered.
How do I apply?
Click the Apply Now link or email me with a few paragraphs about yourself, your book idea, and why you’re drawn to this mentorship now.
What’s the next step?
The next step is a no-pressure discovery call, where we can chat through the details. There’s no commitment at this stage — let’s just see if it feels good for both of us!

'Amy is a unique combination of talented editor, savvy writer and generous soul. This mix ensures that your story gets told in a way that feels engaging, snappy, humorous, raw and vulnerable all at once. Writing a book can be a lonely experience. With Amy as your editor, you won’t feel alone. She really cares about you and your story—this is evident every step of the way.'
Fleur Chambers,
Author of Ten Pathways and Wholehearted Confidence
"Amy is a world-class editor who has a gift for editing with ruthless compassion! As a sharp editor, she not only helped to improve my writing, but her kindness and generosity always left me feeling cared for, encouraged, and motivated. Brilliant at what she does, but even better for who she is, writing and producing my children’s picture book series with Amy’s mentorship was a dream."

Yes, this is my premium product, but there's a reason it's so popular. Here's what you're really buying:
- Years off your book writing timeline
- The insider knowledge to pitch your book before you've even finished writing it. (This is my favourite insider tactic.)
- Access to my little black book of book pitching contacts.
- A book writing coach who knows the juggle is real, and works with you and your strengths and limitations.
- Bespoke book writing advice, whether you're working through trauma or want neurodivergent-friendly writing tips.
- A cheer squad and strategist rolled into one
- Less overthinking. More actual writing.
- The confidence to say, “I’m writing a book”—and mean it.
You write. I shape, refine, and gently challenge you as you go. No waiting until the end for feedback—we build momentum together.
No pressure. Just curiosity
"Amy's writing and editing genius, and holistic book coaching were like having a secret weapon onboard. Every time I wanted to scream, 'Stop the ride', Amy kept me on track, through writing and editing the book, to publishing it and beyond."
“Amy demystified the world of publishing, so I had a strategy that worked. And I knew exactly what I was seeking in a publisher-author relationship. I have no hesitation that without her experienced guidance and support, my first published book may still be a notion rather than hitting the shelves.”
"Amy took my spark of an idea and helped me flesh it out into a fully formed, book deal winning pitch. For the confidence and clarity she gave me, I’m forever grateful."
"I loved working with Amy. My publishing deal wouldn't have been possible without her support, guidance and belief in my story — a very tough story to tell."
