Author & Master Certified Life Coach
I help authors create confident, sustainable writing careers.
You deserve a life coach who understands the nuances of the publishing industry.
Work With Me
Your Confident Author Career is closer than you think.
I thought getting traditionally published would make all my issues with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and feelings of writerly inadequacy go away.
Spoiler alert: It didn't.
I was constantly comparing myself to my peers, panicking about deadlines, and worrying that I'd irreparably fuck up my big chance with even the smallest mistake.
Coaching saved my relationship with writing. It helped me find joy in telling stories again, even though it was my job now instead of my escape.
I knew others needed this work, so I became a coach for published authors like you.
My decade of publishing experience combined with mastery of coaching tools creates magic for my clients.
If you're ready to create a writing career that you love and stop flirting with burnout, it's time to join The Confident Author Academy.

Hello, I'm Isabel Sterling.
I fell in love with writing in 2012 when I wrote my very first novel. The moment I reached "the end" I knew I'd discovered my life's passion.
But by the time my debut novel published in 2019, I'd started to lose that love of writing. It had become a job, another task on my to-do list, instead of the thing that filled me with joy and purpose.
Coaching changed my life. It helped me fall in love with writing again. Now, as a master certified life coach, I help authors like you craft confident careers, too.
