Book Coaching
You don’t have to wander through your writing journey alone. Let a book coach guide you.
With book coaching, we come alongside you, providing you with continuing support and feedback as you plan, write, and revise your novel.
All of our services include the added value of two editors.
Thanks to our different backgrounds, genders, interests, and experiences, we bring very different things to the table. Teamwork allows our clients to reap the benefits of much more diverse input than can typically be achieved by a single editor.
Story “Ninja” is the perfect company name for Randy and Laura because they truly are like ninjas. They get inside your work, inside your goals, and inside your voice, to help you pull out the story that wants to be told. Then they sneak out like ninjas, almost leaving you to believe you did it all yourself.

Is Book Coaching Right For Me?
Book Coaching Programs
The Novel Blueprint Program is an eight-session coaching engagement designed to take a novel from idea to completed outline.
Coach Your Novel Program is a structured accountability and coaching program designed to help authors draft a complete novel through consistent scene-level execution and professional developmental guidance.
Scene Coaching Programs
Scene Coaching is focused, craft-based feedback designed to strengthen your ability to write effective scenes.
Rather than evaluating a full manuscript at once, we help you draft an outline and then work one scene at a time. This allows us to slow down and examine how the scene functions on the page—what the reader experiences, how tension develops, and how the scene contributes to the larger story.
Through structured feedback and discussion, we help you analyze:
- How the scene functions within the story
- Whether the scene creates meaningful change for the protagonist
- How tension, stakes, and conflict are operating
- How point of view and emotional experience are delivered to the reader
- What revision options could strengthen the scene
Our goal is to help you develop the skills to diagnose and revise your own scenes, not simply to tell you what to change.
How Scene Coaching Works
We review the scene and provide professional craft analysis and revision guidance.
Feedback focuses on how the scene works for the reader and how it can be strengthened to better serve the story.
Coaching provides instruction, analysis, and professional feedback to support informed revision decisions. Implementation of feedback and revision choices always remain the author’s choice and responsibility.

I can’t thank Randy and Laura enough for their invaluable contribution to my thrillers. Their keen eye for detail, insightful feedback, and unwavering dedication to enhancing the character development and narrative have elevated the overall reading experience for my audience. I couldn’t have crafted high-quality stories without their collaboration. I wholeheartedly recommend their editorial services to any fellow novelist striving to captivate their readers.
