"I was depressed and totally unmotivated in my writing. I’d suffered two big disappointments and felt like I was going backwards instead of forwards. Sherry gently, but firmly, took me in hand and gave me the support, advice, discipline, and strategies I needed to getting going again. Sherry is generous and responsive. She’s also a lot of fun. I highly recommend her if you want a writing coach who really cares about your work and your process."
Marie
Client
"Before I started my coaching sessions with Sherry, I thought I was actually doing pretty good with my writing. I thought I was productive, and although I have made improvements in the craft over the years, I was looking for something to take me to the next level in my writing. What I quickly discovered was that I was more burned out than I had realized. I needed some balance in my life, and Sherry helped me find that. And, she helped me come up with some visible and tactile reminders to help me maintain that balance. I’d definitely recommend Sherry for anybody who wants to improve their writing and their life.."

What’s Inside The Daring Writer
Module 1:
a Snapshot of you
Module 1 is all about getting clarity and understanding of who you are, what you want, and why you want it. This is the solid foundation you need as you begin this journey of building your writing life. We will take inventory of where you are now. Then you will decide where you want to end up, and finally you will get a picture of what your ideal writing life looks like. We’ll look at why you want what you want. All the reasons you have for wanting that writing life you envision for yourself. All the reasons pushing you toward that end goal. And finally we’ll take a deeper look at who you are now, and who you need to be.
Highlights:
- Identify and fill in the details of what your ideal writing life is and looks like
- Strengthen your motivation to write
- The characteristics, habits, and thought patterns you need
Module 2:
Setting Things In Motion
Module 2 is all about taking those first steps on our path to our ideal writing life. We’re going to set our writing goals, look at what we need to do to achieve them, and setting an achievable yet challenging timeframe to achieve your goals. Then we'll go into tracking our word counts, time usage, and making ourselves and our writing a priority. We'll follow that by talking about accountability: why we need it, and how to have the accountability we need to meet our goals and deadlines, from others, and ourselves. And finally we’re going to talk about a writing mindset, why it is so difficult for us to get into, and develop some tools to help make that transition easier.
Highlights:
- Setting Achievable and Exceedable goals
- Writing process customized to your specific situation and needs
- Support systems and accountability
Module 3:
Silencing Your Inner Saboteur
Module 3 is a dive deep into the workings of the inner saboteur. We will develop tools for our tool box to identify the saboteur and eliminate it and our fears that have derailed us for long enough. We will identify the inner saboteur, what it is, what it isn’t, and where it comes from. We'll identify the tricks the saboteur uses to stop us from pursuing our dreams, including fear, sweet nothings, and excuses. Most imporatnly, we will develop the tools to silence the Saboteur.
Highlights:
- Fears created by the Inner Saboteur
- How our Saboteur gets in our way, the tricks it uses
- Tools to silence your Inner Saboteur
Module 4:
Moving Forward
Module 4 is about re-building our love of writing and put everything we have learned into a plan, so that you will succeed at putting the words on the page, polishing them up, and sending them out, every time. We will have a new understanding of our new, mature relationship with writing. We will challenge ourselves to continually grow as writers. And we will set our writing life into motion.
Highlights:
- How our relationship with writing has changed
- Challenge ourselves to continue our growth
- Tools to embrace the editing process

Sherry Peters
Author, Novel Writing Coach & Mentor
I’m an unapologetic sports fan and nerdy-geek-girl. Office supplies and books are my love language, and you know I gotta tell you about my adorable bichon-toy poodle Ebby, just the sweetest dog ever!
I’ve been there. I’ve had burnout from work and writing was the last thing I had the mental energy for when I’d get home. I’ve had those rejections and comments from other writers that made me question whether I had what it takes, whether I should even bother.
I quit writing, for an hour, because quitting broke me more than the pain of rejection, the fear, and the self-doubt.
I put in the work. I took workshops, graduated with an M.A. in Writing popular fiction, and I figured out how to get through it all. But I had to do it on my own.
When I launched my first novel, when I had a reader tell me my book helped her through the dark nights, I knew this was what I was meant to do.
My training as a coach gave me a different perspective to my own experiences as a writer, which I saw everyone else experiencing and not getting the help they needed.
I believe that it is time we stop fearing telling our stories. They need to be told. People need to read them. I am here to help you do just that.
"After working with Sherry, I feel more confident, more motivated and more excited to write. I’m better able to focus on the joys of my career and more optimistic about my writing direction. She helped me to examine my priorities and made me accountable for my progress. Sherry’s coaching has given me a strong boost in the right direction as an author, and the new novel I was intimidated to start is already well under way!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a course on this? Shouldn’t I just sit my butt in the chair and write?
For better or for worse, we are humans, who have responsibilities, and emotional baggage that gets in our way. The Daring Writer Academy is designed with those people in mind, the ones who want to find a way to pursue their writing goals, despite the circumstances that have held them back.
What if my “Inner Saboteur” as you call it, gets in my way and de-rails me?
That is why you are here. It already has. Being aware of it is the first step to silencing it. The Daring Writer Academy will do much more. By the end of the program, you will have all the tools you need to never worry about the Saboteur again.
What if I haven’t finished everything after 6 months? Am I out of luck?
Hardly! The Daring Writer Academy is built with real people with real lives in mind. You will have life-time access to the course material.
The Daring Writer is a self-paced program, meaning you can work as many or as little hours as your schedule allows.
A good rule of thumb would be an hour per week watching the lessons, and another hour putting them into action, and 5 – 7 hours per week for writing!
But here’s the thing…
As you’ll find, The Daring Writer is designed for sustainable momentum.
Meaning, as you create your plan, silence your Inner Saboteur, and see tangible progress…
You’ll WANT to keep going.
You’ll WANT to make The Daring Writer the first thing you jump into as a part of your morning routine.
Because as you’ll soon see, writing isn’t a chore when you know exactly what you need to be doing to get amazing results without any wasted effort.
