Book Coaching with Emily Knowles
The author behind Emma Wilde
Your story. Your pace. Support along the way.
You want to write a book, but you might not know what it’s about yet. Maybe you’re searching for an idea, discovering your voice, or wondering how to turn the pieces in your imagination into a story.
Perhaps you’ve already started and need direction, encouragement, or someone to help you keep going.
Through conversation, creative activities, and practical guidance, we’ll explore what you want to write and find your next steps together.
I work with fiction writers, with particular strengths in romance and women’s fiction. I also offer support with writing habits, accountability, self-publishing, and Amazon ads.
How I Can Help
Find your idea and discover your voice
You don’t need a book idea to begin. Through conversation and creative activities, we can explore your interests and imagination, find a story you’re excited to tell, and build confidence in your voice.
Develop your story
Get to know your characters, explore your plot, and give your story shape. My particular strengths are romance and women’s fiction, and I welcome writers working in other fiction genres.
Keep writing
Set manageable goals, work through obstacles, and build a writing practice that fits your life—with encouragement and accountability along the way.
Navigate self-publishing
Get practical guidance on publishing through Amazon KDP, getting started with Amazon ads, and planning your next steps as an independent author.

Meet Your Coach
I’m Emily Knowles, the author behind Emma Wilde. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine’s Stonecoast program, and my teaching experience spans elementary, middle school, high school, and college classrooms.
As a fiction author who has self-published my own books, I understand both the creative work of writing and the practical decisions involved in bringing a book to readers.
My coaching combines teaching, creative exploration, and encouragement. I’ll listen to what you want to accomplish, help you explore possibilities, and work with you to choose manageable next steps. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we begin.
