Have you ever wanted to write that king of cozy, uplifting fiction? Fiction that feels like being wrapped in a comfy blanket?
Then you’ve found the right book coach.
Hi, I’m Sylvie Kurtz.
I’m a certified Author Accelerator Book Coach who specializes in heartfelt, uplifting women’s fiction and cozy mysteries that bring comfort. If you look at my book list, you’ll see it’s also what I love writing.
Try a Mini Blueprint Strategy Session
What is a mini blueprint? It’s professional gut-check for your creative vision that shows you what’s working, what’s next, and why your book is worth finishing.
Writing friends are awesome and AI is great, but there’s nothing like talking to a certified book coach to help you find the heart of your story.
A mini blueprint is simple. It’s powerful. And it just might give you the clarity you’re missing.
Here's What You Get
For an investment of $299, you get:
* A Big-Picture Project Analysis
The Mini Blueprint is your chance to step back and see your book with fresh eyes. In one powerful page, this guided questionnaire helps you get clear on what your book is really about, why it matters, and where it’s headed.
Most writers rush into writing without pausing to think about the big picture. The Mini Blueprint changes that. You’ll answer a handful of questions that spark reflection, focus your ideas, and bring your “why” to the surface. I’ll review your blueprint and offer insight on your project’s potential.
*An Editorial Review
I’ll review the first 3,000 words of your manuscript. You’ll get insight about whether you’re on the right track and walk away knowing exactly what to focus on next.
I’ll help you understand what’s working and what can be improved, and then provide an actionable plan to help you move forward, without overwhelm.
* A One-on-One Conversation
This is your chance to talk it out—cup of tea or coffee optional.
In a 50-minute strategy session, we’ll unpack your ideas, identify what’s working (and what’s not), and shape a concrete plan to move your project forward with purpose and momentum.
You’ll have the chance to ask questions about the feedback so that you leave the session feeling more confident.
"Sylvie has an amazing capacity for deep listening; an incredible gift for seeing the interconnected themes in a story, the woven metaphors that oftentimes the writer herself doesn't always pick up on. Sylvie will take you to the other side of your work with compassion, patience and skillful observation." –Regina Tingle, TX
"Sylvie has so much creative power and is a generous and inspiring teacher. She helped me see what was working in my writing and kept me moving forward." –Kate Baldwin, MA
"Sylvie's quiet presence is comforting, her voice inspiring, her insight touched my heart. She's a calming force and a kind spirit and I’m honored to have worked with her." –Kathleen Murray, author of The Widow and The Highjacker
"Sylvie brings a wealth of writing experience to her workshops, but more, she brings a level of authenticity and intention that is often hard to find in teachers. She teased the nuggets of gold from the bedrock of my writing and showed them to me as if she held them in the palm of her hand." – Jodi Paloni, VT
