Welcome #AmWriting Blueprint Sprinters!
Congratulations on completing your Blueprint for a Book!
If you’re seeking professional feedback on your work, you’re in the right place.
I’m Sara Gentry, one of the Author Accelerator certified book coaches who hosted some of the AMA sessions for the #AmWriting Blueprint Sprint. I enjoyed getting to know all of you and answering your questions!
I’m offering a special rate on Blueprint coaching for #AmWriting participants. I work with writers of commercial books in the middle grade, young adult, and adult markets. I am best suited to working in the genres listed below. You can also learn more about my reading preferences on my FAQ page to determine if your book may be a good fit for my coaching services.
Fiction: In the MG and YA markets, I work with writers of all genres. In the adult market, I work with writers of contemporary fiction, women’s fiction, romance/historical romance (sweet or closed door), and historical fiction. (I work with writers of additional genres in my group program, Novel Resolution, but for this Blueprint Sprint, I am focusing on the above genres.) I am not a good fit for books containing explicit sexual content, explicit violence, or excessive profanity.
Memoir: I am very selective in choosing memoir projects. Read the Nonfiction areas of interest listed below to get a better feel for the types of content best suited for my expertise. I am not the best fit for writers whose goal is to capture their life story for their loved ones, even though I believe this to be a noble and worthy endeavor.
Nonfiction: My particular areas of interest include (but may not be limited to): music, the arts, writing and reading, creativity, STEAM for a general audience, family and parenting, self-help, personality, education (all age levels, including homeschooling), communication, sports, cultural or societal history, biographies, and pop culture. I work with select Christian topics. I am not a good fit for books on politics, military history, religions outside Christianity, or technical writing.
