Looking for support on the next step of your writing journey?
My name is Natali and I write thrillers as Natali Simmonds and fantasy for all ages as N J Simmonds. With over twenty-five year’s experience in marketing, branding, copywriting, NLP, and psychotherapy, combined with my history as both a traditional and self-published author, I love nothing more than helping writers improve their craft and get noticed.
In 2022 I launched six new services to support authors at various stages of their writing journey.
HELPING WRITERS IMPROVE
Whatever stage of the writing journey you are on, I can provide you with the tools you need to become the very best writer you can be.*
Mentoring - £95 p/h
Sometimes you simply want to talk to another published author. Whatever you want to discuss, I'm here to offer advice, insights, opinions and support for you and your writing. This is not a writing assessment (see other packages for that).
Writing Feedback - £250
I accept fiction genre (except poetry, screenplays or non-fiction). Up to 6,000 words read in advance and a 500 word report, followed by a one hour call to discuss how you can improve your writing. This is NOT an editorial or proofreading service.
Query Review - £250
Have you been querying agents and not getting the results you're after? Price includes a 500 word report on your first three chapters, cover letter and synopsis, and a one hour call to discuss how you can increase your chances of finding an agent.
Self-Branding Class - £195
Self-Branding for Writers is a class for those looking to build their brand. Learn how to promote yourself effectively; from creating a website, social media presence, PR, events, and public speaking. Price includes my Self-Branding for Writers guide and a 90 min consultation.
Confidence Coaching - £230
Confidence Coaching is a tailor-made consultation for authors struggling with the public side of writing. Coaching includes my Confidence Guide plus 2 x one hour sessions providing you with the tools to help with public speaking, handling press, imposter syndrome, and networking.
Resilience Training - £230
Resilience Training is coaching for writers who feel like giving up. Training includes my Resilience Guide plus 2 x one hour sessions providing you with the tools to help manage rejection and criticism, survive your debut year, tackle writers block, and learn when to stop, start afresh, or keep going.
* All calls are via telephone or video call, not in person. Clients can request more hours than stated and can return as many times as required. Natali Juste Simmonds has the right to refuse any client at any stage (payment is made in advance, upon receipt of confirmation). All writers who apply must do so with an open mind and the understanding that all advice given will be done so with their best interests at heart.
SCHOOL VISITS, UNI LECTURES, & PUBLIC SPEAKING
Are you looking for an author and experienced marketer to inspire your students or organisation? I talk about the writing process, my journey to publication, how to deal with criticism and rejection, and I specialise in teaching resilience to children and young adults. Author visits start at £150 (terms and conditions apply). Click on the buttons below for school visits or corporate events…
