What We'll Do



Once you register for coaching, you'll receive a link to my Calendly page to book a date and time for our talk.

At that point I'll send you a short questionnaire to gather background information and allow us to make maximum use of our time together.

During the call, we'll zero in on your most pressing issues and questions around writing, publishing, getting an agent, or other aspects of being a committed writer in today's publishing landscape.

You'll emerge with insight into where you're at in your publishing journey, a professional assessment of your most pressing objectives, and clarity around your next steps.




Hi, I'm Pat Dobie.


I work as a “book doctor” with writers all over the world.

My clients have gone on to get agents, achieve traditional publication, self-publish successfully, and win awards.

I created this bundle for writers looking for professional, individual feedback on their work and their publishing goals without the financial commitment of a developmental edit or private coaching. The combination of this course, my personal feedback on 20 pages of your work, and a 30-minute video call where we discuss your writing, your publishing goals, and the viability of your story will accelerate your journey to creating work that readers want to buy.
