Writing and Publishing Your First Novel Is Within Reach
With Multi-published Author and Book Coach, Karen Sommerville
Meet Karen
Award-winning author, editor and book coach
I'm the author of three suspense/thrillers and an experienced book coach with a passion for helping people achieve their dreams of writing and publishing their debut novel. I am the former President of the Canada West Chapter of Sisters in Crime, and a frequent speaker on editing and publishing.
Before becoming a full-time novelist and coach, I wrote hundreds of articles on marketing and entrepreneurship.
With over 20 years of non-fiction and fiction writing and editing, I thrive on providing the encouragement and support new writers need to get their first "book baby" into the world.
What you can expect from me are clearly actionable steps, while providing honest, but heart-centered feedback. If you're willing to do the work, I would be honored to help you create a book worthy of publication.

establish writing habits to get me to my goal
