Mariëlle helped me see past my Ego, work through my fears and trauma’s, and embrace the writer I was always meant to be. And if that sounds spiritual, it’s because it is. And for me, that was the best thing about working with Mariëlle. Because she isn’t just any writing coach who helps you figure out a writing routine. She is a life coach for writers who are ready to find their voice and use it. She helped me grow as a person so I could grow as a writer – while simultaneously getting into a writing practice that works for me.

3-Month 1:1 Coaching for Writers
You’re ready to write that book you’ve always wanted to write
but don’t know where to begin.
You’re doing the work, but you keep feeling like an imposter.
And someone is going to figure you out soon.
You know the rules of this writing game,
but somehow they seem to be working for everyone but you.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Then my 3-Month 1:1 Coaching for Writers programme is for you.
During this 13-week programme, we’ll take a close look at where you are in the process, how you ended up there, and where you want to be.
We’ll discuss and break down your needs, your struggles, and your goals, and reflect on your progress to create a solid game plan and writing habit that will keep you going long after the programme ends.
Taking Mariëlle’s 3-month coaching program was one of the best decisions I have made for my writing career. She takes your strengths and teaches you how to push them without running yourself ragged and she shows you how to mold your weaknesses to your benefit.

Working with Mariëlle is like making your way along a path in the dark and suddenly being handed a light. Obstacles, road blocks, and pitfalls that were lying ahead and waiting to trip you up are illuminated. More importantly, all the possible ways to overcome them, as well as new and exciting paths you wouldn’t otherwise have seen also become visible.
She doesn’t tell you what to write; she asks the right questions to get you to figure out what your story needs and how to go about it. She’s also helped me work out a writing schedule personally tailored to my needs and held me accountable—exactly what I needed. Working with Mariëlle motivates me and gets me excited to write.

Are you ready to start taking yourself seriously as a writer?
Send me an email at marielle@mswordsmith.nl and tell me which tier—Bronze, Silver, or Gold—you wish to enrol in and which starting date suits you best.
Is part of you saying ‘Yes!’ while the other part is on the fence? Drop me an email to schedule a free, no-strings-attached 30-minute call to discuss whether my programme is right for you.
Mariëlle is very good at understanding your problems and asking the right questions. During the three months, she steered me through the process of creating my first draft. She does not have a fixed concept but adjusted her program to fit my questions and problems. I am wholeheartedly recommending her coaching program.
