Write a Book in a Year
What To Do Every Month
Have you been working on a manuscript for years?
Have a killer idea but still haven’t written more than a chapter?
Written a book but the results were lackluster compared to the story in your head?
We’d like to help you do better with your writing practice—learn real systems and guiding principals that will help you consistently write and craft a page-turning manuscript.
In 2026, Conquer Books will get you to “The End” by the end of the year.
Ahem, let us scootch in here real quick. We’re Nicole and Rebecca, your science fiction and fantasy book coaches. We’ve edited over 8 million words together and work one-on-one with writers to get their book written and published.
But we can only coach so many writers directly. That’s why we’re building this space just for you. We’ll take our knowledge, your idea, and get you to “The End”.
Not a SFF writer? No worries, we’ve structured this program to apply to anyone writing a novel.
How This Works
Every month, the first week of the month, we’ll tell you exactly what tasks to work on, how many hours to write, and what business and publishing tasks you need to take care of throughout the month.
In January, we’ll use exercises from most popular book coaching program to spool that idea from your brain and build an outline. Then, we’ll draft through the spring, edit through the summer, and carry you all the way to the end where you’re querying your project or booking cover designers to self-publish.
Ask questions along the way in the comments, and we’ll put our book coach brains to work for you.
If this sounds exciting but also like a real commitment—it is, for both of us!
That’s why this program will be only open to paid subscribers. We’ll still do plenty of free posts, but we want to give this program our very best insights and attention. Subscribing is only $5/month or $50/year.
You’ll get oodles of perks throughout the year including:
Monthly direction on what to write and how
Exercises from our Building a Story workbook
Tips for making your writing shine
Book coach support in the comments
A creative community of writers cheering you on
And we have more ideas for the chat and complimentary page edits
FAQ
Does it work?
As book coaches, we’ve guided hundreds of writers to their goals. We understand the writer brain, a realistic pace, and what needs to get done when. We also trialed this program with a real-live, 10-person writing group last year.

The price of a coffee a month. $5/month or $50/year.
What if I start late?
You’ll receive access to past posts and can start when you’re able.
How much time should I set aside for the work?
8 hours a week would be ideal, however, you can work at your own pace as you like.
So, you ready for an adventure?
