Conquer Books

Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Coaching

Headshot of author and book coach, Rebecca M Zornow.

You want to write an amazing science fiction or fantasy book.

I've worked with 800+ writers & edited 5M+ words to help authors do just that.

Hi, I'm Rebecca

Let's write that book!

As a book coach, I work exclusively with speculative fiction writers and science fiction and fantasy manuscripts.

I have a keen eye for book trends and a nose for good prose, but book coaching is so much more than that.

After working with more than 800 writers, I’ve learned  each writer is on their own unique journey to publishing. Some come to me with a handful of pages, some an entire manuscript, some just an idea.

But they all have questions. How do I make my characters come alive? Why is my magic system falling apart? How do I get published?

That’s why I combine coaching with editing. I want to help you create a great book, as well as grow your author career and prepare for publishing.

I want to help you conquer books.

You have what it takes to be a writer.
But...

  • Your ideas refuse to be wrangled. So, your notes overflow with unruly concepts and your outlines take on minds of their own.
  • Your skills don’t stand up to the pressure of drafting. Even though you’ve read the how-to books, listened to the podcasts, and joined the forums, once you get drafting, it’s like you’re a newbie all over again.
  • You’re overwhelmed by the writing industry. Indie pub versus traditional. Writing to market versus writing for self. Pantsing versus plotting. And don’t even start with subgenres.
  • You have trouble completing a manuscript. Things just seem to fall apart halfway through. As if you didn’t spend hours and hours planning it out.
  • Your self-doubt is crushing. You’re terrified nobody will like your book.

I’ve helped 800+ writers through these same worries. I transform budding writers into dynamic professionals, and wild ideas into powerful books. And I want to work with you.
