Our community of coaching students have started from scratch and gone on to win book deals in bidding wars.
You’re looking to write a book with impact—a book with the power to change people’s lives.
But without an experienced publishing guide, most writers find themselves lost in a sea of confusion, helplessness, and misinformation. Worst of all, they can’t get meaningful expert feedback. They come up against a brick wall with no way to break through to the gatekeepers, and their productivity flatlines.
The current publishing model is flawed, and I want to fix it.
Meet and work with writers just like you, in a trusted and intimate environment.
In a series of six 90-minute masterminds held weekly on Zoom—part teaching, part interactive workshop—you’ll receive personalized feedback on your project, challenges, and goals—and industry knowledge you can’t get elsewhere.
Participants will stay on track with weekly assignments to complement what you’re learning during the classes. In just 6 sessions, you’ll gain the confidence, resources, network and support needed to elevate your book idea and pitch and have it market-ready for agents and publishers!
Due to the high-touch and intimate nature of these sessions, we limit each cohort to 6 students each. You will be paired with other writers in similar genres, which will increase your learning exponentially.

The Value
Our coaching program costs $5,000. A book deal with a publisher can range up to 7 figures. But the resulting opportunities—a larger career as an author or speaker, recognition in your field, growth for your business, television and media—will return on your investment many times over.
Your book is really just the beginning of what’s possible. Let us help get you started on your journey.
Student Success Stories
“Lucinda is an aspiring author’s secret weapon. By August, I was thrilled to be offered representation… and by December, I had a book deal!”
—Sara McElroy, Author of Women Who Walk
“Having already written a book, I was trying to understand the ins and outs of the publishing world and get some guidance with regards to my next steps. Lucinda gave me all the clarity I needed. She answered any questions I could dream up, grounded me, inspired me, and set me straight on my road to getting signed.”
—Troy Hadeed, Author of My Name is Love
“Lucinda’s contacts are like a list from heaven in terms of who she knows in the publishing world.”
—Manisha Thakor, Founder of MoneyZen.com and Author of MoneyZen
“The clear guidance to find my writing community led me to Lucinda and this group… It’s a vulnerability I’ve never known and I WANT MORE. From the first session, it’s been so easy to share things that I’ve only shared with those closest to me. I believe it’s the freedom that’s necessary in the transformation of my little story into a big idea. You’ve ignited breakthrough after breakthrough and I have nothing but gratitude.”
