You lost the spark? Nope. It's still there.
You have a story to tell, a message to share...but you’re afraid you’ve lost the spark. Hey, it’s there. You know it. I know it. And I’ve seen it in hundreds of writers who have gone on to find their voice and confidence to publish.
With coaching, you can overcome obstacles that keep you from nurturing that spark—time, skill, overwhelm, finding your platform—so you share work that resonates.
I'm Ann Kroeker, and I absolutely love helping people go from the spark of an idea all the way to a finished, ready-to-pitch-or-publish book. I'm a writing coach, author, and host of the top 1% "Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach" podcast, and I've guided writers to land agents, secure deals, and build platforms that matter.
Your spark is real. Let’s fan it into a finished project, ready to publish.

One-on-one writing coaching might be for you if...
Any writer would be lucky to have her in their corner
Sara McElroy
Author of Women Who Walk and CEO of SaraJMcElroy.com
Ann's support and guidance has been invaluable to me on my journey to securing a literary agent and a traditional publishing book deal. Not only does her writing and publishing expertise run deep, but she is profoundly adept at understanding the needs of her writers and meeting them where they are. To me, that is the mark of a great coach. Working with Ann is a true joy, and any writer would be lucky to have her in their corner.

Turn Your Nonfiction Idea Into an Agent-Ready Proposal
You have a nonfiction idea—a topic you're an expert in, a message that matters. You can see the finished book, the impact it could have. But translating that spark into a proposal that makes agents say yes? That's the gap.
In Your Compelling Book Proposal, you'll develop your complete book concept, write magnetic sample chapters, and build a platform that attracts publisher attention—working directly with a coach who has a track record guiding dozens of authors from idea to signed contract. No more juggling pieces alone. Get clarity, confidence, and a pitch-ready proposal.
