Writing Coaching from a Published Romance Author

Want to make your characters and plot more compelling? I use a simple fiction writing hack called the 'Rule of Three'. This is just one of the many practical strategies I share with my coaching clients to help them strengthen their manuscripts and tell more powerful stories.

I got my first rejection from my dream publisher at age 12. I kept trying, and now at 29, I have a 5-book deal with that same publisher, Penguin Random House. Persistence is key in this industry, and I coach my writers to build the resilience needed to achieve their publishing goals.

As a writing coach, I help authors improve their craft, polish their manuscripts, and build a rejection-proof mindset. I offer services like this 10-page critique to give you actionable feedback on your opening chapters, helping you put your best foot forward with agents and publishers.

Being a published author isn't always sunshine and book deals. There's a lot of anxiety, self-doubt, and fear of not being "enough". A huge part of my coaching is providing mindset support to help you handle the emotional rollercoaster of being a writer, because I know it's about more than just the words on the page.

Being part of the literary community is one of the best parts of being an author. Here I am speaking on a panel at the Kolkata Literary Meet. I help my coaching clients find their own writing communities and navigate the professional world of publishing, from networking to attending events.

Hi, I'm Swati! I'm a desi, queer romance and YA author from Bangalore. I'm also a chaotic bi disaster who survives on matcha, cats, and Taylor Swift. My coaching style is just as personal and relatable as my writing. If you think we'd vibe, let's work together on your book.
