Message into Motion
A step-by-step process to plan, outline, and start writing your nonfiction book or memoir.
This four-part intensive helps you create a solid plan for writing your memoir or preparing a book proposal.
You have insights and expertise to share, but…
All that knowledge and experience can feel overwhelming. How do you know where to start, how to end, and what to include in between?
Planning a whole book can seem daunting, especially when you're not sure how to organize your thoughts.
Do you feel like you have a book inside you, but you’re…
worried your idea isn’t strong enough?
unsure where to even begin?
stressed because the idea of planning—and writing—a book feels intimidating?
overwhelmed because you have so much to share but don’t know how to put it into words?
struggling to organize your notes, ideas, or the various drafts you’ve started?
If so, let’s talk.
It doesn’t have to be so hard…
With the right guidance and support, you can plan your book with confidence and save yourself time and frustration.
You don’t have to start from scratch and hope it all comes together.
You don’t need to waste months or even years trying to piece it all together on your own.
You can gain clarity from the beginning, allowing you to move forward with purpose.
You don’t have to wrestle with fitting your memoir—whether it’s coming-of-age, transformational, or experiential—into a structure that feels right.
You don’t have to struggle with one-size-fits-all advice that doesn't resonate with your unique story.
There’s a more intentional, less stressful way to plan your book, and it’s closer than you think.
And that path to focus is closer than you might think.
Imagine…
Having a clear vision for your entire book, one that gives you direction while still allowing flexibility for changes as you go.
Knowing exactly where your book begins and ends so you can confidently draft your memoir or develop your nonfiction proposal.
Feeling confident about your idea, with a clear sense of what to include, the timeline, or chapters so you can keep moving forward with focus and intention.
It’s possible… and I can help.
It’s possible… and I can help.
Hi, I’m Maurene.
Author, instructor, and experienced book coach.
If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent years consuming all the books, blogs, and advice out there, hoping to find the perfect approach to writing your book.
I’ve tried the classes, joined the groups, and even earned a master’s degree in writing. But despite all that, I found the practical side of writing still eluded me.
I was often told, “Just write, it’ll come together,” so I did.
But it didn’t.
Even with the knowledge I’d gained, something was still missing.
You know that feeling when you follow all the advice, but it just doesn’t seem to work for you?
Or when you see others writing with ease, seemingly without a plan, and they end up with a polished book?
Yep, I’ve been there too.
I’ve been the writer staring at a blank screen, willing the words to come. I’ve written effortlessly, only to discover it needed a complete overhaul. And I’ve experienced everything in between.
Now, I help other writers avoid the overwhelm and frustration I faced.

Step-by-Step Strategy
Planning a book is a process that takes time and careful thought. That’s why this coaching package breaks the process down into manageable steps, ensuring you’re making progress in a way that feels right for you and your work.
Will it be challenging? Probably. (But the good kind of challenge!)
Will it save you time and effort in the long run? Absolutely.
You’ll be encouraged to invest the time and thought now, saving you from frustration and endless rewrites later. With regular feedback, you’ll be able to talk through ideas, refine your vision, and see your path clearly.
Your book will be off to a strong start!
1:1 Coaching Sessions
You’ll be guided each step of the way. This package offers four key deliverables, each designed to help you clarify your vision and to help you plan your book. After each submission, I’ll provide detailed written feedback about your work.
We’ll also have a 60-minute call after each deliverable to discuss the feedback and plan your next steps.
These calls are an opportunity to ask questions, gain clarity, and ensure you’re moving forward with confidence. We’ll focus on the specifics of each deliverable to prepare you for the next phase.
Email Support
If a question or issue arises that’s keeping you stuck, or if you just need some encouragement, don’t hesitate to reach out!
If the question requires a more in-depth response or would benefit from a discussion, I’ll let you know and we can cover it in our next call.
You won’t have to put your writing on hold trying to figure out what to do next.
Common Questions & Answers about Message Into Motion Coaching
How long does it take to work through the four deliverables?
It depends on your schedule and what works best for you. We’ll aim to create a schedule that allows you to move at a comfortable pace without losing momentum. On average, the process takes about four to six weeks.
I already have a good idea of what I want to write. How will this help me?
This process helps you refine and clarify your idea, creating a comprehensive plan for your book. It’s not a rigid outline but a flexible guide that provides direction and keeps you on track as you write.
This is expensive. How exactly does it save me money in the long run?
By investing time in planning now, you can avoid the temptation to take every shiny new class, course, or coaching offer that comes your way later. Starting with a clear path saves you time and money down the road.
This seems like unnecessary work. How does this actually save time?
This process minimizes the need for major rewrites later. While revisions are always part of writing, you’ll be able to revise with clarity, rather than constantly rewriting and hoping it all makes sense.
What happens after the four deliverables are complete?
Depending on your project, you can…
- Continue with an additional deliverable to refine your work further.
- Transition into monthly coaching to draft your memoir.
- Move on to proposal development coaching for your nonfiction book.
- Write on your own, confident in the plan we’ve created.
I already have a clear idea of my book. Why can’t I just move into drafting or the proposal now?
Unless you have a complete draft or proposal, working through these initial steps is vital. This process saves us both time and frustration and ensures I can guide you effectively.
