What clients are saying:
"Wow. What a force Catriona is. She has a remarkable eye for the bones of a story, and the even rarer skillset of a rich toolkit to help an author bring it to life. Cat is a brilliant brilliant structural editor (thank you from my deepest heart).
Holing up with Cat for a week in an apartment in New York interrogating my book became a rich, witchy, creative stew of such potency I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without her. My book is so much better for her gorgeous, subtle and sensitive touch. Thank you for making my book shine."

"The thought-provoking practices and techniques Catriona offers took my book to another level, allowing me to see its deeper purpose.
Her powerful work lays a solid and supportive ground to take necessary and constructive steps to not only improve the writing and structure, but also to successfully manifest the book in the world."
"Catriona's feminine style and her interest in combining non fiction with an educational platform were a perfect fit for me. She was really helpful with clear and probing questions.
The Story Spine has not only clarified the process of writing the book but also clarified my online programs and the kind of market I would like to focus on.
Catriona is organised with sharp insights, but there is also room to dream big. I really felt like I could stretch my ideas as far as my mind could reach.
I was surprised by how much richer my work became."
"Catriona’s book coaching is forthright, yet gentle; astute, yet friendly; delivered remotely, yet intimate. She helped shepherd a transformation within me, to let go of a book project I’d been working on and to embark on a more raw and personal project.
I believe that Catriona was the only coach who could elicit this dramatic pivot and is the one I trust to make it the book of my dreams. She is flexible, kind, clever, generous and the most incredible listener and close reader."

"Catriona is a skilled editor and has a depth of knowledge. She can get to the heart of what is working and what is not, with insight into solutions, without taking over.
Her delivery style is excellent: she is open, warm and personal, and offers an invigorating blend of critique and praise. She will push you to go deeper, and guide you to write your best work."
"I highly recommend Catriona's services. She excels in her art.
With her innate sense of the maieutic, 'book doula' Catriona helped me birth my message and structure my thoughts. She helped me to shape and sketch the different chapters of my book.
Thanks to her patience, I managed to face all my resistance and regained my sovereignty as an author."

"Fabulous! Your input and reflections are invaluable. I look forward to our calls every time. Thanks for being so clear.
The joy of having everything laid out and structured is very real. It was essential to go through this phase. Now I know what I’m actually meant to be writing when I sit down at my computer.
The power of structure and focus!"
