The Ultimate Literary Coaching Programme
The Ultimate Coaching Programme - Six months of intensive work with our founder Jacqui Lofthouse
An intensive six-month mentoring programme – the last chance to work directly with Jacqui Lofthouse. Only five places will be offered. (Two left!)
From September 2012, our founder Jacqui Lofthouse will be undergoing full-time training and embarking on a new stage of her career. Having spent the last eighteen years as a full time novelist and coach, Jacqui now seeks a fresh challenge and will be taking her work into secondary schools. Jacqui will be studying for a PGCE in English with Drama at London’s Institute of Education with a view to teaching drama, literature and creative writing to teenagers, whilst continuing to pursue her own writing. After September 2012, Jacqui will no longer be available as a coach. Ultimate Literary Coaching clients however will still have email access to Jacqui after this time for general advice.
What is the Ultimate Literary Coaching Programme?
This is an intensive coaching and literary consultancy programme, similar to The Full Mentor but with a few key additional benefits. The programme is a six-month package for those who are serious about making big leaps in their writing life and taking their writing to a new level. You will work closely with our founder Jacqui Lofthouse, by phone or in-person. To familiarise yourself with HOW we work, please read the Coaching and Mentoring page of our website. The Ultimate programme also includes a strong element of Literary Consultancy work and really represents the best investment you can make in your writing career.
The Ultimate Literary Coaching Package includes:

- Full email support between coaching sessions

Who should consider the Ultimate Literary Coaching Programme?
Jacqui says:

You are ready make a real breakthrough in your writing life with a coach who is experienced, supportive and deeply knowledgeable. Our coaching can address many areas of your life and your writing, including inspiration, motivation, writer’s block, time management, working methods, self-marketing including web and social media, submissions and publishing. My aim is to help you to find the focus and passion that you need to become a truly committed writer who is confident, productive and business-savvy.
When you join me as an Ultimate Package client, you are one of my VIPS. Together we will open up your awareness of what is possible for you as an individual and as a writer. I also offer firm constructive criticism about your work in progress, to ensure that your development as a writer is truly fast-tracked.”
Here’s what one of our clients has to say about her work with Jacqui:
Julia Crouch's novel Cuckoo has recently been published by Headline
Julia Crouch, Author of Cuckoo
“At the beginning of 2009 I had a dozen short stories, two novels in rough draft, and an unfinished screenplay. I was writing in my spare time – I was a full time website designer and have three children. I had no idea what writing project to concentrate on, and had completely stalled. A friend recommended Jacqui and, over six months, she gave me the confidence to take the big step of committing a whole year to one project. She also provided excellent literary feedback, helping me turn my first chapters into little diamonds.
Now, my first novel Cuckoo – the one Jacqui helped me with – has been published by Headline. I am about to hand my editor my second. I have one of the best agents in the country, have sold Italian, French, German and Dutch rights and I write full time. I can say unequivocally that if I hadn’t contacted Jacqui I would still be battling with html. These days the only website I look after is my own!”
This is the last opportunity to work with the most established literary coach in the UK who has credentials as a published literary novelist (Penguin and Bloomsbury) and a fully trained coach (CoachU). Jacqui looks forward to working with you.
