This year, our Founder Jacqui Lofthouse would love the opportunity to work closely with one writer who is seeking an immersive programme of work. This writer is one who is serious about completing a book and wishes to spend a year, fully supported by an experienced coach who is dedicated to their success as a writer.
In addition to all that is offered on the Ultimate Literary Coaching Programme, this programme also includes vital added elements to ensure that you are deeply supported on your journey.
What is the VIP Literary Coaching Programme?
This programme is an upgrade on the Ultimate Literary Coaching Programme. It is a year working with Jacqui as her VIP Client. An intensive coaching and literary consultancy programme for a writer who is serious about making big leaps in their writing life. In addition to monthly one-to-one calls with Jacqui and reading and annotation of 80,000 words of your work over the year, it also includes some very special additions which are outlined below.
The VIP Literary Coaching Programme includes all benefits of The Ultimate Programme but has several vital additions. The core components of the programme are:
- Twelve individual coaching sessions with Jacqui Lofthouse or a member of her team. These hours may be taken by Zoom or phone.
- Coaching includes work on craft, productivity, confidence and career management as well as direct advice on agent/publisher submissions and all aspects of the writing life.
- One special component of the VIP programme is that six of your sessions may be taken in-person in London.
- Reading and annotation of up to 80,000 words of your work-in-progress over the year.
- A special component of the VIP programme is that Jacqui will also do a full manuscript read of your work at the end of the year (up to 80,000 words).
- Email support between coaching sessions
- In addition to the usual email support, the VIP programme includes access to Jacqui via voicemail on the Voxer app. ‘Jacqui in your pocket’.
- One year’s membership of The Literary Mastermind including access to The Literary Salon – to begin in February 2025. Your mentor in the Mastermind may not be Jacqui but one of our top coaches at The Writing Coach.
- A VIP ticket to our annual ‘Getting Published Day’ at Asia House in London where you will be introduced to literary agents.
- Access to our online Developing your Novel or Memoir Day on 12th April 2025.
- Jacqui’s eyes on your pitch letter to agents and your synopsis, as well as a book proposal if you are writing non-fiction.
- Afternoon tea with Jacqui to discuss your writing career in The Library Room at County Hall, London.
- Help with choosing agents and submitting to agents or publishers on your behalf once your book is ready – or if you prefer to self-publish, advice on that process.

Jacqui says:
“Behind all that I do is a desire to truly support writers – to enable them to create fulfilling, successful and sustainable writing lives. Given the huge breadth of experience that our clients bring to the page, I have always said: ‘this work is bigger than me’.
Words and stories have the power to entertain, to educate, to enable change and to transform. In encouraging and supporting people to write, we are privileged to be at the heart of their creative and intellectual lives. We do not under-estimate the importance of this work and we are grateful to play a role in enabling the stories of others to grow and to flourish in the world.”
Coaching with Jacqui
Please note that whilst you can reserve a place on this programme by booking now via the Black Friday offer, it is vital that my clients are a good ‘match’ with Jacqui and once payment is received, she will set up a preliminary call with you to ensure that both feel fully happy in the coaching relationship . All prices are fully inclusive of VAT.
If you put payment through prior to speaking, Jacqui will contact you personally within 24 hours of receiving your payment, to arrange a time for an initial conversation.
All of our coaching services are offered according to the Terms of Service outlined on our website here .
Finding Jacqui has been the best thing I’ve done in furthering my writing career – better by far than any course I’ve undertaken or any help I’ve received from agents and editors. Trying to make the transition from academic writing to commercial non-fiction is not easy, but thanks to Jacqui’s insight and support, I finally feel like I might be ready to make it happen. For the first time, I know what I want to do and how I’m going to do it! What I’ve appreciated most of all has been her uncommon ability to put her finger on what needs to change, and to express it in a way that actually motivates me to rewrite. I’ve learned so much, and thoroughly enjoyed it, too. I’d recommend her to all the struggling, baffled and overwhelmed writers I know, if I didn’t want to keep her all to myself…
