Recommend me a writing coach?

October 3, 2019 6:54 PM

I've been working on a new book for, at this point, almost a year. I still haven't quite found the right groove (though I get closer and closer), and I keep revising the same 25,000 words over and over. It has been a hell of a year, personally, but I still need to finish this book ASAP, and for the first time I don't know what I need to do that. It's freaking me out. Hivemind, please help: can you recommend anyone who might be able to help me with this?

When I was in a similar situation I had a good experience with the LA Writer's Lab telecourse. It provided me with the motivation and structure to finish the long-delayed draft of my novel.

Those people are good, too, I used their online courses and there is a manuscript review program:

Fiction or nonfiction?

If she hasn't retired yet, Cathy Redd is incredible. I wouldn't have written my first book without her.
