FLOURISH: Book Coaching for Writers of Fiction
In my 1:1 fiction writing programme – FLOURISH – we’ll spend six months shaping the spark of your idea into a living, breathing story. We’ll map the arcs of your characters, weave the threads of your plot and create a world that pulls readers in and won’t let them go. With steady guidance, personal support and weekly accountability, you’ll move from that first flicker of inspiration to a complete manuscript - one page, one scene, one chapter at a time.
I’ll be by your side as you write - listening, encouraging and helping you find the heart of your story. Your confidence will grow, your craft will deepen and together we’ll bring your novel out from your imagination and onto the page.
When the final words fall into place, imagine the feeling of holding your finished manuscript - the story only you could write, ready to be shared with the world.
FLOURISH - FICTION
The Signature Book Writing Programme
Let’s work together, 1:1, and turn YOUR book idea into reality.
Together, we'll bring your vision to life as your writing and confidence flourish, with my support and guidance through each stage of the process.
The FLOURISH - FICTION book writing programme is a comprehensive package that includes all that you need to write your book.
1. Book Proposal
We start with a full strategy session including the creation of your book proposal document - a strong fiction book proposal combines a compelling synopsis, clear market positioning and an author bio that establishes credibility.
2. Book Mapping
We then work together to build out your book map - we build a rough outline of your sections and get clear on what needs to have been established for your story idea to flow.
3. Creative Writing Course
My ten part creative writing course is included in this programme - we cover: character, setting, plot, narrative method, dialogue, theme, genre, symbolism and imagery. These sessions are dropped in at the best time for you over the course of the six months.
4. Developmental Editing
As we progress through each section of your book, I'll developmentally edit your writing. Feedback will be given digitally and will be expanded upon at our submission reviews which will take place monthly. This will give you confidence that you are on the right track and any plot holes will be caught.
5. Project Management and Weekly Accountability.
Your own personal, managed Trello board & WhatsApp chat. All of your resources will be put on the project management tool, Trello (free account), and I'll check in with you every week.
6. An introduction to The Curious Wolf Collective
This is a hand picked collective of experts at every point of the writing and publishing journey, together we make a one stop shop from your very first idea to holding your beautiful book in your hands.
And, as lovely bonuses:
1. Full Day Writing Retreat
A full day of writing, with me by your side to discuss, strategise and edit - you will make huge progress here! This retreat day is held once per month and numbers are kept low to ensure proper 1:1 time. You will be invited to join the one that best suits your timeframe.
2. The Curious Self Journalling Prompt Club
You will be enrolled in this prompt club for the duration of the programme. I firmly believe that effective communication and writing starts with the inner work that journalling is so good at helping with.
How does that all sound?
The cost of this package is £497 per month for 6 months.
This is my signature programme. Working together will be uplifting, challenging and a whole lot of fun!
If you would like to space this programme out over one year, we can certainly do that - book in for a chat and let's work out the best option for you.
Meet Suzanne - Book Coach, Writing Mentor and Founder of The Curious Wolf and The Curious Wolf Collective
Hey, I’m Suzanne. Most days, you’ll find me talking with writers who are ready to bring the stories in their heads onto the page. No matter the genre – romance, fantasy, literary or thriller - one thing always shines through:
A successful novel starts with clarity - about your story, your characters and the heart of what you want to say.
Over the years, I’ve seen how easy it is for talented writers to get stuck. They know they want to write a novel - but time slips away, doubts creep in, plots tangle, and the manuscript lingers as a “someday” dream. If this is you, you’re not alone. Many aspiring authors wrestle with the same challenges: finding their voice, shaping a story arc and believing they can see a book all the way through.
That’s why I created FLOURISH.
Not as a rigid course or a one size fits all template, but as a collaborative 1:1 space where your novel takes shape with steady support, creative strategy and expert guidance.
This is why FLOURISH works.
Writing a novel isn’t just about getting words down - it’s about discovering your unique voice, honing your craft and finally finishing the story that only you can tell.
FLOURISH gives you:
〰️ The structure to shape your idea into a novel with a strong arc and unforgettable characters.
〰️ The developmental feedback to make your story vivid, coherent and powerful.
〰️ The accountability to keep you writing, even when motivation dips or self-doubt whispers.
With the right support, your novel becomes more than a dream - it becomes a finished manuscript.
It all begins with one decision: to take your story seriously and give it the space to FLOURISH.
Due to the depth of the 1:1 work that I do with my clients in FLOURISH, I only have capacity for two new clients at this point in time. Book a call with me today for feedback on your book idea and to discuss whether FLOURISH would be a good fit for you.

Client Review
"I've worked with Suzanne over the last 6 months and have enjoyed every part of the process. I had the idea to write my first book almost two years ago, but couldn't find anyone who was offering the right level of support for me.
As a total 'newbie' to the world of book writing, I was looking for someone who could guide and support me all the way from ideas to final edits. I joined her coaching package, Flourish, and have loved every minute. From the weekly check-ins, to the frequent in-person sessions we have all the way through to all the extra value she brings every time I see her - the experience has been incredible.
Throughout my time of writing the book, I've had a few wobbles - all related to my own self belief and wondering if I'm good enough to be writing such a large project. Suzanne has such an open style of communication that as soon as I feel myself doubting, she can pick me back up, reassure me and show me evidence to support why I should be writing my book.
I don't think I've come across someone who is more determined to deliver exceptional value in the way that Suzanne does. The care, understanding and, most importantly, the expertise she has are second to none.
If you're thinking of writing a book, want help discovering your voice or simply want to write for your wellbeing, Suzanne is the best person to support you.
I can't thank her enough for her time, patience and passion during this process and I'm so excited to launch the book in the coming months. "

If you are thinking of writing a book then you MUST arrange a call with Suzanne to learn more!”

Whether you’re starting with a spark of an idea or already part of the way through your draft, FLOURISH gives you the structure, accountability and expert support to carry your novel from inspiration to completed manuscript.
Do I need to be a confident writer already?
No - many FLOURISH clients begin as complete beginners. You don’t need to know how to write a book yet. Together, we’ll shape your ideas, structure your chapters and develop your writing style in a way that feels achievable and enjoyable.
What’s included in the FLOURISH programme?
Across six months you’ll get:
✔️ Book Strategy Sessions to clarify your message and audience.
✔️ A Book Proposal session.
✔️ Chapter mapping and planning to make writing easier.
✔️ Developmental editing on your work in progress.
✔️ A supported writing retreat day to accelerate progress.

How much does FLOURISH cost?
FLOURISH is £497 per month for 6 months. There’s also an option to spread payments and the programme over 12 months if that feels easier.
What if I fall behind or lose confidence?
That’s exactly what FLOURISH is designed for. If doubts creep in or life gets busy, I’ll be there to help you reset, find your focus and remind you why your book matters. Accountability is built into the programme – so you never feel like you’re doing it alone.
Will you edit my book as I go?
Yes - I provide developmental editing as part of FLOURISH. This means you’ll get feedback on structure, clarity and flow while you’re still writing, so you don’t waste time going down the wrong path.
How do I get started?
The first step is to book a free discovery call. It’s a chance to talk about your book idea, ask questions and see if Flourish is the right fit for you.
