And it can for you too, with the right steps.
I wanted to stop carrying my book in my head and finally see it in my hands.
I wanted to be an author who could say "I wrote a book" instead of "I'm working on a book." Someone who could turn scattered ideas and half-finished notes into finished chapters, without another year going by where the book stayed a someday thing.
A mom who could show my kids what it looks like to finish what you start – not just talk about big dreams, but actually build them, in the middle of a full, busy life.
Someone who didn't just write her own books, but became the person other writers turn to for support and guidance.
I stand here today with all of these things: four published books, #1 bestseller status, 23 years in mentoring writers, and hundreds of women I've helped go from "I have all these ideas but I don't know how to put them together" to holding a finished manuscript.
And I just can't shake the feeling... that you should have this too.
You just need the map, the structure, and someone in your corner who can help you get to the finish line.
That's what I want to give you inside the Author Accelerator.
I hope to see you inside.

"I have all these ideas, but I don't know how to put them together."
"I don't know where to start. I feel like I need a plan."
"I wish a professional could read my work and tell me how to strengthen it."
That's exactly why the Author Accelerator exists.
To give you a personalized book map and a coach who can guide you, answer questions about craft, provide accountability and support and help you stay accountable to your goals.
If this resonates, you're ready to stop being someone who's "working on a book" and become someone who finished one.
You bring the ideas or your work in progress, I bring the structure, and together we turn months or even years of scattered thinking into a complete draft over the next 16 weeks.
You're a writer who has all the ideas but doesn't know how to put them together – you've got notes, voice memos, and a story or message that's been sitting in your head for years, or a draft that needs edits, and you're finally ready to get it done.
You're someone who wants a complete draft, without wasting hours of time you don't have trying to figure it out alone.
You're tired of starting and stopping, second-guessing whether your idea is even good enough, and getting stuck in the messy middle with no clear next step – and ready for real progress, a deadline, and a container that actually gets it done.
You're willing to show up, follow the plan, and protect a small amount of writing time each week – not just collect courses and hope momentum shows up on its own.
You're waiting for life to calm down before you start – because the busy never actually stops, it just changes shape, and "someday" is where books go to stay unfinished.
You aren't willing to protect your writing time and show up to sessions ready to work, even when life is busy and it feels easier to push it another week.
You want to keep doing this entirely on your own more than you want real feedback and support, even though doing it alone is the number one reason books never get finished.
Because every writer and every book is different, this program isn't guaranteed to be the perfect fit for everyone. In rare cases where a writer requires different or a more personalized level of support, we may recommend a different coaching container that allows for more focused guidance. If you have questions about the best fit, please email [email protected] for clarification
I don't mess around – and I won't mess around with your book either.
Most writing programs give you a generic template, a "just write every day" pep talk, and a Facebook group full of people writing completely different books than you.
This isn't that.
This is for writers looking for REAL support as they draft.
In the Author Accelerator, I look at your ideas and build you a personalized book roadmap. Then I coach you through the actual writing, week by week, so you walk away with a complete draft that's ready for the next stage: editing, publishing, and getting it out into the world.

✅ Your Custom-Tailored Book Map: As soon as you join, you'll get an onboarding questionnaire. From there you'll meet with Rachel to create a tailored plan to take your notes, voice memos, scattered ideas, and organize them all. From there, we map out your book's structure together or Map out what's needed to get your draft polished and publish-ready, so you know exactly what belongs where and what doesn't. This is not a generic writing plan. It is a personalized architecture for your specific book, designed to help you get organized.
✅ Meet With Rachel Twice Each Month To: establish and maintain writing goals, overcome writer's block, get accountability and support, and to discuss her feedback on your pages. You'll get a focused, personalized session built entirely around where you're stuck – not a generic call, not waiting your turn in a group. This is your book, your pages, your specific block, worked through directly with Rachel.
✅ Direct Feedback on Your Pages: Send up to 10,000 words each month, and get real, developmental feedback – not just "this is great!" but honest guidance on structure, clarity, and whether it's doing what you need it to do. You're never Writing pages into a void and wondering if you're on the right track.
✅ The Author's Circle – Community + Monthly Open Office Calls: A private space to share wins, ask questions, and be surrounded by other writers in the trenches with you – because doing this alone is the number one reason books never get finished. Plus, monthly Open Office Calls (4th week of every month) where you can pop in, get unstuck, and get back to writing. Can't make it live? The recording's inside The Author's Circle.

That fear is almost universal, and I want you to know it doesn't mean anything about your idea.
After 23 years of working with writers, I can tell you: the issue isn't the idea. It's that it hasn't been shaped into something you can see yet. That's exactly what we do in the first two weeks.
Once you can see your book clearly, the question of whether it's "good enough" tends to answer itself.
The following writers had this exact fear before they started. Look at what happened for them...
"I am just so happy that we connected"
"I'd had several coaches that really didn't take me anywhere, and obviously I wasn't ready... but this has been since May... and I think I've written another 150 pages, because I'm just so pumped. Now it's time, and I am just so happy that we connected, because it's helping a great deal, just to have some direction and have somebody who knows what they're doing and can guide me."
— Sharon Simpson, who had carried her book around in a garbage bag of notes and journals since 2002, moving house after house, before writing more in her first few months with Rachel than she had in the previous twenty years.

"Enormous sense of relief that I'm not doing this alone..."
"I had a lot of really good ideas, but I didn't know how to put it together. It's like, I have all of this, but not sure what to do with it... The first thing that changed was an enormous sense of relief that I'm not doing this alone."
— Cynthia Z., who worked on her book idea in a demanding season of life, moving from "not sure what to do with it" to having a full structure, a real deadline, and, in her own words, "boots on the ground" soon after starting.






"Just having a professional to collaborate with has just been awesome."
"Just having a professional to collaborate with has just been awesome. You hear people say, 'Oh, I wrote a book, but it took me eight years.' Okay, that's great — but what if you could do it in eight months if you had somebody there to help you?" - Leann W.
