Peggy Dougherty coaches writers in the  BUSINESS of writing.  She motivates writers to nurture their talent, improve their craft, and promote their work.

Writing is a talent, an art, and a craft. It is also a BUSINESS. If you’re a professional writer or an aspiring writer, you are a small business owner. You’re in the business of producing, improving, and promoting your product. COACHWRITER guides you through that process.

Peggy works with playwrights, screenwriters, novelists -- all writers --  throughout the writing process, as they create, enhance, and promote their work.  

Peggy is an experienced writer who has faced down the blank page, developed her craft via  classes, readings, and workshops, and  successfully marketed her work.  In the process she has  learned a lot about the ‘business?of writing. She loves sharing what she has learned with other writers.

Peggy has been working with clients in her own practice for 25 years. Her multiple degrees in psychology give her expertise in motivation, self-perception, self-hypnosis, and time management. Peggy motivates clients to pursue their writing goals.  She works with them to eliminate blocks to success. She nurtures aspiration and facilitates the forces that drive it. She understands passion and the importance of the creative force in self-actualization.
