Tracie is a caring, experienced, and supportive coach. She encourages you throughout your journey and asks thought-provoking questions that stretch you to bring out your best work. I would recommend Tracie as a coach, especially if you are in the beginning stages of your writing journey.

I had the blessing to be coached by Tracie in the Book Proposal Bootcamp through COMPEL, and the experience was life-changing for me! I was so grateful for Tracie’s encouragement, feedback, and seasoned advice in creating a proposal, writing a book, and navigating the Christian publishing world. Her experience and expertise helped shape my book proposal into what it is today, and I believe will be instrumental in realizing my writing dreams. I thank God for Tracie and the impact she has made on my life and journey of becoming a published author!”

Investing in Tracie means you’ll receive quality guidance from an experienced professional who wants to contribute to your success as much as you do. I had the pleasure of receiving Tracie’s support as a writing coach during a Book Proposal Bootcamp course where she provided firm feedback, but delivered it with kindness and grace. Tracie is gentle and effective and her soft words helped me receive her advice and internalize the message, allowing me to dig deeper to another level of my writing. She asked probing questions full of substance, which always gave me food for thought. If you’re considering working with Tracie I say go for it!

I had the privilege of having Tracie as a coach for 3 months and it was such a great experience. Besides her kindness and her genuine way of caring, she was so incredibly helpful. It was so encouraging when she would point out things that worked really well as well as suggest changes in order to make a better impact, of which I appreciated because they made me look at my work from a different perspective. She was nice and kind in her delivery of constructive criticism but didn’t hold back when you needed a little praise too ???? I felt I was in good hands knowing she herself has written several of her own successful book proposals and authored so many awesome books for women. I highly recommend Tracie and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Tracie as my writing coach! I had the privilege of receiving excellent advice and coaching when I was part of The Book Proposal Bootcamp. She was so attentive and accessible to us all as a group, but I personally felt like she was my private coach and mentor. Tracie was so detailed and helpful in all of her critiques of my writing. Mostly, I felt encouraged and as if she was cheering me on. I am so grateful to have had a coach who seemed to really care for me and my writing goals. I couldn’t have completed my book proposal without her. She was the best!

My experience working with Tracie has been incredible. Her seasoned editorial perspective and solid marketing instinct helped to shape my book idea into a fresh, compelling message that stood out to publishers. During our coaching sessions, Tracie offered a wealth of experience and insight that proved to be invaluable in securing a book contract with Leafwood Publishers. She was both professional and personable, providing a calming, steady presence alongside her expertise as I navigated the publishing world.
