The Write Coach
Longing to write?
Struggling with an idea for a book? Business, motivational, or self-help; memoir; novel, or anything in between? Together we'll uncover what you authentically want to say (not what your spouse, parents, or peers think you should write about) and get that vision onto paper. Whether you're a total novice who only writes grocery lists or a seasoned professional, my promise is that it will be a fun, challenging, and unforgettable creative journey!
What happens next?
We’ll work together by phone or Zoom in sixty minute sessions. During the session, we’ll talk in-depth about your project and you’ll even do some writing! After each session, you’ll get homework specifically designed to move your project forward. Plus, you’ll receive proven (and surprising) perspectives and tools to break through fear, writer’s block, and procrastination. You’ll learn how to navigate intense emotions and mental chatter about failure, imperfection, and rejection. But most importantly, you’ll build a new, kinder relationship to writing - and to yourself.

OPTION #2 The Write Year: 12-month Book Completion Program
This is the only coaching/writing program of it’s kind where you’ll work one-on-one with an international best-selling author and writing coach (me!) to write and complete your manuscript so it’s publisher-ready in one year. This is more than a coaching relationship. This is a creative partnership where I’ll initially coach you to produce the first draft. Then, together we’ll examine, dissect, mold, and reshape that draft. If and when it’s needed, I’ll even rewrite chapters or sections in your voice with the written agreement that you, the author, always retain all rights and credit.

Workshops & Presentations
In the mid 1980s, I founded the original Write From the Heart, a national seminar series on creativity that I’ve taught to hundreds of novice and experienced writers all over North America. I’ve been leading workshops ever since. One of my most popular is THE POWER OF WRITING BADLY: Secrets to Breakthrough Fear, Procrastination, and Perfectionism Forever! In addition I offer seminars and interactive talks on YES! EVEN YOU CAN WRITE A BOOK; THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS WRITER’S BLOCK; and THE CRITIC’S JOURNAL: The Most Important Tool Any Writer Can Ever Have
In addition, I’m happy to custom design a workshop or presentation for your specific audience and needs! Let’s brainstorm!
What clients are saying…
“Thank you, Marcia Zina Mager. You believed I could write a book well before I believed it. Your wisdom and techniques helped me turn the blank pages into the book I’ve always wanted to write. You adapted to my needs, opened new doorways and shaped me into the author I am today. And then, you eagerly took the next step from writing coach to writing partner. I’m forever grateful for every phone call, every edited page, every word of encouragement, every bit of research, and every word of challenge and support you offered. Your spirit is infused in these pages.”
JIM BONEAU, LEADERSHIP COACH, #1 BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, THE RUMBLE ZONE: Leadership Strategies in the Rough & Tumble of Change
“I wouldn’t have a book without Marcia. I didn’t have a clue how to start, let alone finish. Marcia is coach, mentor, therapist, sister, and friend. I also suspect fairy, pixie, or elf. She's magical! She's your confidante and supporter, guiding you to advance your idea, express your voice, and succeed, especially when you’re certain “it's impossible.” A coach’s coach, she masterfully leverages years of experience yet doesn’t “tell you the way” or take over your project. She nudges you in the direction of self-discovery and cuts through your “crap” with compassion. I am indebted and deeply grateful for her generosity, spirit, persistence, and great sense of humor throughout the experience of writing my book.”
SHANNON WALLIS, MBA, PCC, FOUNDER, CASCADE LEADERSHIP, AUTHOR, WE THE CHANGE
“As an experienced writer of business leadership for Harvard Business Review and Forbes, I was surprised to feel stuck getting started on a book proposal. Enter Marcia. With her deep experience and direct, no-nonsense, and empathetic questions, Marcia held up the mirror, played back my thoughts in words I hadn’t yet formulated, and provided me with tools to get out of my own way. In a few, short sessions, Marcia’s voice worked its way from my ears to my head and then to my fingers on the keyboard.”
SABINA NAWEZ, CEO COACH, KEYNOTE SPEAKER, AUTHOR
“Marcia’s life experience in several creative fields has given her a tool box like no other. Her playfulness, patience, deep listening, and out-of-the-box thinking completely transformed my project. I can’t thank her enough. If you’d like to exceed your expectations, I can highly recommend working with her.” "
CHRIS MATSER, HEALER
“Marcia’s abundant creativity, intuition, and clarity have made her invaluable to expressing our work. She has the uncanny ability to translate precisely what we are trying to say in words that are powerful, intimate, and inspired. We recommend her wholeheartedly as a writer and writing coach.”
