Welcome!

I’m Beck O’Leary. I have a Master’s degree in Creative Writing, and I want to help you write your novel.

£250/$300 per month, or £1200/$1500 for six months

This is the option for writers who want someone at their side for every step of the drafting process. I will provide feedback on new work and online coaching sessions to help you develop your novel from page one to the very last word.

£500/$600 for three sessions, or £800/$950 for five sessions

If you need help to turn your new idea into a full narrative, this is the service for you. Over three or five sessions, I will guide you through the process of outlining your novel from start to finish, from determining what structure you need to planning out each of your major plot points.

£5/$6 per page

Congratulations! You’ve finished the first (or maybe even second!) draft of your novel, and now you need a fresh set of eyes on it. Send it to me and I’ll return it with a thorough analysis. I’ll help you assess what works, what doesn’t, and what to do next.

£500/$600 + £5/$6 per page

You’ve completed a few drafts of your novel and now it’s time to get it in front of an agent. Well done! I’m here to help you get ready to query. We’ll go over your query letter, synopsis, and the first three chapters of your novel to prepare it for submission.

£100/$120

Uh oh! You’ve hit a snag. Maybe it’s an unexpected plot hole, or your characters decided to take things in a new direction, or perhaps you’re just stuck! Book a Rubber Duck session for an extra bit of help working through a problem.

“Beck was helpful in helping shape the project into the state it's in currently. They challenged me in every meeting we had. The questions that they asked helped me improve the narrative and characters, as well as figuring out the reasons for writing in the first place. I really can't thank them enough for all the help they gave.” -Brock, Canada

“Beck was fantastic and encouraging the entire time. They got me to think beyond the surface of my world and characters in a way I struggled with on my own. Beck helped me strengthen my characters and plot-points, even contributing amazing ideas when I came up empty. And they were willing to switch gears and change our approach to my writing whenever I requested it - Beck's flexibility and openness were always appreciated. Our coaching sessions were the encouragement I needed to believe more in my writing and, by the end of it, I felt more confident about where my project was headed.” -Kiley, United States

“Without Beck my novel would not be where it stands today. With each session I have with them my plot grows stronger, my characters become more dynamic, and I grow more confident. They prompt me to think beyond the surface levels of my work, delving deeper to create a stronger story. They’re intuitive to where my story needs development, and show great enthusiasm towards my work.” -Katie, Scotland
