Writing Love & Heartbreak
1:1 Book Coaching / Writing Sherpa-ing for women ready to tell their story.
You have a story aching to be told.
A dream tattooed on your heart.
It's time to get your writing into the world.
To own the badass writer you are.
When you step into our Writing Love & Heartbreak container you alchemize the story within and bring forward your unapologetic writer self.
It's time to build momentum, make progress, and make the page crackle with magic, mayhem, love, heartbreak, and everything in between.
It's time to step into your author era.
Let's go.
The Editorial Edit
Initial Manuscript read
You’ll send me what you want me to start with — up to 10K words — so that I can get familiar with your book and start formulating feedback.
(Have a full-length manuscript or larger project? Use the contact form at the bottom of this page to tell me about your project so that I can draft a proposal specifically for your needs.)
editorial letter
Before our Deep Dive Intensive, I’ll send you an editorial letter (PDF) and Google margin notes that address how to:
-
Strengthen the narrative arc
-
Sharpen your emotional thruline
-
Identify what’s missing, muddy sections, or opportunities for depth
-
Tighten pacing so your reader is locked in at all times
-
Illuminate themes
-
Ensure your voice, intention, and message land with impact and are consistently you.
Deep Dive Intensive
After you've had time to read and process the Editorial Letter and Margin Notes, we'll meet for a 60 minute Deep Dive Intensive via Zoom where:
-
I'll provide a thorough explanation of my feedback and suggestions for developmental editing.
-
You’ll ask me any and every question you have.
This is where we’ll roll up our sleeves and discuss your book, what it’s doing, where it’s going, and all the sexy things you can do to elevate it to the page-turner you already know it is.

During The Close Edit, we meet every two weeks so that we're keeping the momentum going and you’re seeing all the beautiful progress on your book.
-
In between our meetings you can send new or revised chapters for me to read and provide feedback during our 30 minute Zoom meetings.

Those meetings will also be a chance for you to ask questions, for us to brainstorm together, and for you to feel like you have all the support you need on this journey.

An idea pop into your head on your drive to work? I got you. Send me a voice note in between our scheduled sessions so we can hash out ideas and keep you writing.

What people are saying.
"Gallagher writes like your sharpest, most self-aware friend, the point in the night when the eyeliner has smeared and everyone finally gets REAL. She lulls you with wit and observational humor, then drops a single, unflashy sentence that hits straight in the chest. It’s funny. It’s brutal."
— Zara Barrie, author of Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup.
