Get help with your writing journey
Professional Book Coaching & Editing Services for UK Christian Authors
At Broad Place Publishing, a UK-based Christian publishing house, we are passionate about helping you with your books. It may be that your book isn’t ready for submission yet, and you need help writing it. You’re in the right place! We offer paid Book Coaching and Editing services to help you get your book out there. Whether you are just starting out with an idea, whether you have a draft that needs improving or whether you’re stuck with writer’s block, our UK based book coaching team can help.
Here’s a summary of what we can offer:
Structural Coaching
Regardless of whether you are writing fiction, non-fiction or memoir, you need to know who you are writing to and what you are trying to tell them. We offer 3-4 sessions with a writing coach, each one hour on zoom, where we work with you to help you structure your book in a way which is marketable and maximises your message for your reader.
Writing Momentum Coaching Programme
This package is ideal if you’ve already got your book idea and structure sorted (perhaps through our Structural Coaching), but now need the support to actually write the thing. Think of this as a gentle but firm writing companion, walking beside you as you make consistent progress.
Initial 60 minutes zoom – to revisit your structure and set your weekly goals.
Weekly 30 minute check ins – to celebrate progress, troubleshoot blocks, adjust goals and stay motivated.

Prayer and encouragement as you write
Chapter-by-Chapter Developmental Editing
This deeper-dive package is perfect for authors who have already written but want to grow in their writing craft while receiving personalised developmental feedback chapter by chapter. We’ll work closely with you bringing out your unique voice and refining your message.
Initial 30-minute Strategy Call – We’ll review your structure, define your ideal reader, and align on tone and goals.
Per Chapter:
- A short written summary of what’s working well and what could be strengthened
- In-text comments to highlight moments that shine and places for improvement
- Targeted developmental suggestions (structure, pacing, character arc) if and when needed — keeping your story or message aligned with your vision
- Gentle accountability to keep you moving forward and growing in confidence as a writer
Optional 30-minute Coaching Calls (every 3 chapters) – To unpack feedback, discuss ideas, and keep you creatively grounded.
Manuscript Review
For those who are almost ready-to-go! Our Manuscript Review Service is a high quality, developmental review of your entire manuscript, intended to help you improve your work so it’s ready for publication. It is not a line-edit, where we do it all for you, but is intended to help you improve your work. We’ll read your entire manuscript and give you detailed, constructive feedback on any aspects that need improvement to help maximise your chances of securing a publishing deal, or help you release the best self-published book you can to bring Jesus glory.
