You're not wrong. It is harder than it should be. You need a guide and a plan, but you do have what it takes.

I see you. I am you.

You believe God called you to write. But right now? You’re wondering if you’re wasting your time. Your money. Your gift.

You’ve taken the courses. You’ve been to the conferences. You’ve paid the editors and filled the notebooks. And still — you’re stuck. Treading water. Wondering what everyone else knows that you don’t.

Here’s what I know: You’re not missing motivation. You’re missing a plan — and someone who’s actually walked this road.

Someone who will tell you the truth about your writing. Not to wound you. To move you. Someone with the tools to sharpen your words, clarify your steps, and strengthen the message God gave you — not a generic message, your message.

And let’s be honest about something else: this is harder than it should be. You’re not imagining it. You have a real enemy who does not want your words to see the light. Inspiration alone was never going to be enough for that fight.

You need a strategy. You need a guide who has been in the middle of this battle and kept writing anyway. You need someone who won’t let you quit.

That’s the job. That’s why I’m here.

Schedule your free Do We Fit call. Your calling is worth it.

  • What people are saying
  • "Now writers can absorb what it means to write for life change by engaging Lori as a Writer Coach. You’ll be amazed how much you can learn from her—and what a difference it makes when you approach an agent or even when you self-publish."

    Les Stobbe, an active agent for 19 years and Executive Editor of the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild, Stobbe also serves as director of International Christian Writers.

  • "I HIGHLY recommend working with her! Lori​​ is incredible. Her sense of understanding what I needed from a life coach was spot-on. To this day, I still carry her insights in my writing and speaking engagements. If you’re looking for a life coach, I highly recommend working with her."

    Robin Luftig, author of Ladies of the Fire, and God’s Best During Your Worst.

  • "Lori Roeleveld is the coach I’ve always wanted. Her years of writing and speaking experience enabled her to ask me thought-provoking questions, offer insightful observations, and provide creative suggestions I hadn’t considered. I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to grow as a writer or speaker."

    Meredith Mills, Dazzled by the Son, https://meredithnmills.com/

  • "Even though I am a fairly experienced speaker, I really benefited from Lori’s recommendations and ideas. She took the time to know me, so I didn’t feel like anything she suggested was “not me.” She’s fun and creative but also gives advice that’s relevant and practical. Well worth it!"

    Robin Farnsworth, author of The Greater Weight of Glory

  • "Lori is an incredible mentor. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that she enthusiastically shares. Her editing, coaching, and mentoring have been instrumental in my development. She creates a safe atmosphere where you can share your challenges and know she will keep helping you through it. I highly recommend Lori and would be happy to talk to anyone who would like more info."

    Lisa Larsen Hill, President of Seeds of Faith

  • "There is only one Lori Roeleveld. No mere cheerleader, she stands apart. Lori offers a high level of relevant content, practical resources, and solid advice. She is intellectually robust, technically super-skilled and experienced, professionally wise and generous, spiritually discerning and humble. If you take her class, have your pen in hand. Unexpected pearls of wisdom flow quietly and succinctly from her all the time. If she's speaking or teaching, I will always find a way to attend her class. I especially admire her ability to listen, absorb, and respond with extremely insightful as well as informative advice."

    Elizabeth Brickman, author, speaker, financial advisor

  • "Lori Roeleveld’s Persevere Group Coaching speaks to the writer’s heart first and foremost before tackling the nuts and bolts of branding or marketing. She declares that time, talent, or getting published are not the writers’ biggest problem. Writers must take every thought captive, especially the negative ones that urge us to quit, to trust God’s design for our writings. Prayer is essential as is hard work and moving forward. This writing class is relaxed, informal, and encouraging to beginning as well as experienced writers. Lori helps us focus on the important issues first: staying close to the Lord and following His lead.”

    Carol Guthrie Heilman, author of The Agnes Hopper Mysteries

  • "I loved the depth of the material covered in the Perseverance Group Coaching. Lori provided relevant and thoughtful homework assignments that challenged us, and her weekly discussions were thought-provoking, challenging, and enlightening. I also liked the small group format and the experiences and insights that each brought to the group."

    Tracy Ruckman, publisher with TMP Books

  • “With years of experience in the publishing world, and with even more time in the season of preparation, Lori Roeleveld offers a wealth of information from her personal journey as a Christian writer and speaker. Her wit and wisdom are a gift to anyone who is blessed to sit under her teaching. Her courses are affordable, a great value, and worthy every penny.”

    Maureen Miller, author with Guideposts

Listen.

The words God gave you are not going to write themselves. And the enemy is not going to get tired of waiting you out. Every week you delay is a week someone who needed those words didn’t get them.

That’s not guilt. That’s just true.

The Do-We-Fit call is free because I want you to have every reason to take this step and no reason to hesitate. Even if coaching isn’t right for you right now, you’ll leave knowing your next move. That’s worth thirty minutes of anyone’s time.

I keep my caseload small on purpose. When you work with me, you get me — my full attention, my honest assessment, my experience finishing books through doubt and resistance and every other obstacle the writing life throws at you.

Frequently Asked Questions

You ask questions. I ask questions. We create a plan and you move forward. That pretty much sums it up.

  • Great question. Coaching/Mentoring is one-to-one time with a person trained and certified to help bring out your best. Coaches bring experience, insight, perspective, biblical understanding, and lots of carefully crafted questions to empower you toward your goals.

  • Some reasons you may need a coach are a) you feel stuck, b) you’re ready to go to the next level, c) you need an expert sounding board to brainstorm or bounce off ideas for your next steps. Coaches/Mentors can help at the start of a journey, in the long lonely middle, or during a crisis.

  • I understand tight budgets! We can discuss installments. I am happy to provide information about where to mail a check. I’m also on Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle.
