HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
NAOMI ROSE ~ Book Developer & Creative Midwife: Encouraging Your Flowering
A soulful, process-based approach to writing a book,
leading to a published book you can be proud of that resonates deeply with your readers.
Book Development
HELPING YOU BRING FORTH THE BOOK OF YOUR HEART, from Spark to Finish
If you have never written a book before (and even if you have), you may be feeling unsure and overwhelmed about what to do next. By bringing to you my vast experience in the book world—together with my clarity of observation and supportive, compassionate deep listening—I can help you realize your book in a way that fits who you actually are. Then you can work confidently with your natural creative ways to write your book, enjoy the process, and trust that your readers will get the benefit of your process as well as your message.
Whether you have a partly written manuscript, a completed first draft, some notes or draft versions, an outline — or simply the wish to write a book — we can start from there.
As the written pages accumulate, we notice the connecting threads, the overarching themes, a structure that supports your book, and what feels most like you to you. So the manuscript develops. So does your confidence in yourself and in the Writing from the Deeper Self process.
“This whole experience of working with you, and rejuvenating creativity within myself, I feel has brought me back to life. And part of it is the sheer gratitude that that part of me hasn’t gone away and is still accessible. When I’m writing, being in that flow and having the words come out of me is an experience like no other. Because you’re giving birth, and you don’t have to wait nine months, and it’s not painful. It’s a gratification.” — Catherine Greene
I recommend beginning with a complimentary 1/2-hour consultation to see if we are a good fit and you feel at ease with me and my approach, and like you will be in good hands. You can book your comp session here.
If you’ve already had a comp session and are seriously considering working with me, you’ll want to know my way of working, what you will receive for your investment, and my fee. Here it all is.
Our Meeting Rhythm:
RELAXED & STEADY
We meet 2x/month for 1 hour each time, plus an hour of my support between sessions
In this relaxed & steady rhythm, we meet twice a month for an hour each session. This gives you breathing room between meetings for doing some writing, yet enough steadiness of timing and intention to get some writing done. (Hopefully you will love doing it & it won’t be a chore. That’s what much of our work together is about!)
We meet on Zoom, with the option for in-person sessions if you reside in the San Francisco Bay Area). Fee: $325/month, with a 3-month commitment.* For your investment of time and funds, you will receive:
Two 1-hour consultations a month. Here, you can bring your writings, your concerns about your writing, any questions, and your growing awareness of what’s working for you to continue and deepen. We will listen to you together, always with the intention of noting what your heart wants for your writing, what’s seeking to be known, how your natural creative ways show themselves, and anything else that’s needed.
Sessions include my skillful guidance on what will support your book to unfold. This can involve:
The writing itself (including generating writing).
Clarification on your true (vs. conditioned) motives.
Unearthing your natural creative pathways so you can write in an organic way.
Befriending your inner process (including healing old conditioning).
Feedback on what’s working in your writing, and what can support its aliveness.
Ways to step more fully into yourself with your project, based on my professional experience and years of spiritual training and studies.
A recording and transcript of each session, delivered to you the day of the session, so you can have a record of what you and I said, and find your way back into the mindset and heartset of the session, as well as pick up on specific topics to put to use in your writing.
In between sessions, an additional hour of my support, to use as you wish. For example, you could:
Send me some of what you’ve written.
To have companionship in your book-writing process.
To receive my impressions and suggestions on your writing, delivered in that interval timing or at our next session.
Inform me about how your process is going so you don’t have to wait 2 weeks if you encounter a bump in the road.
Ask me questions about your process — what is and isn’t working — so I can tailor my responses to you and your situation.
“I'm happy to acknowledge Naomi Rose's important influence on my writing life as I have others in the past: Julia Cameron, Natalie Goldberg, and Eric Maisel, to name a few. I've since come to regard (and treasure) her as a writing mentor.”— Chris Dunmire, Creative Director & Publisher, Creativity Portal (“Writers Digest 101 best sites”)
MY FEE
Because writing a book is a long-term relationship with your book and yourself, you need time to deepen into its presence in your life to find ways that work for you practically as well as creatively.
* This is why I ask for a minimum commitment of 3 months of our work together — so you can begin to experience the fruits of being with your creative nature in an ongoing, generative way, including as pages of your book.
The monthly fee is $325 for a minimum of 3 months, with the option of continuing.
If you see this as a good match for your needs, you can purchase the first month here via PayPal. I’ll then contact you to schedule our first month of sessions.

I look forward to helping you make your creative dream a reality
and help you feel enlivened and fulfilled along the way.
