You feel a calling to write...
But you may wonder if your story is worth telling.
You’ve carried it for years in journals, in quiet moments, in the back of your mind.
You’re not a “writer.” You’re not sure where to start.
But you know, you’ve lived through something that could help others.
This is for you if you...
You’ve always wanted to write a book, but didn’t know where to begin.
You want to share your truth, but doubt gets in the way.
You feel called to leave something behind: a message, a legacy, a mark.
You’re ready to finally begin.

Sylvia Yu Friedman provided me with mentorship and guidance on understanding the publishing industry and what I could do to optimise the opportunities for my alternative history novel, Silkwood – War in Australia, Terror in the Tropics, being published by a traditional publisher.
Her advice and coaching were practical, providing me with an actionable plan to refine my manuscript, build my author profile, and pitch to publishers. Sylvia’s commentary is constructive and insightful.
Sylvia is an encouraging and approachable coach. I highly recommend Sylvia’s book coaching and her masterclass to anyone interested in writing and being published.

Author of Silkwood – War in Australia, Terror in the Tropics
Sylvia Yu Friedman showed me what’s possible and saw what I couldn’t see in myself to bring my caregiving story to life through writing. Her ability to listen with empathy, to ask the right questions, and crystalise ideas into actionable steps made working with her as my book coach an experience that I am grateful and honoured to have.
The bonus? Her vast life experience, humility and constant encouragement made the entire process of book writing a memorable one that helped me grow significantly more than I ever expected.
Her transformative coaching has led to me clinching a book deal from Penguin Random House SEA and my first book, “Nurturing the Nurturer: Mindfulness, Sleep and the Art of Caring without Losing Yourself” will be published in October 2026.
Sylvia coached me on writing my book proposal and book.

I had the incredible fortune of working with Sylvia Yu Friedman as my book writing coach, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
From our very first session, Sylvia’s enthusiasm and expertise were evident. She guided me through the entire writing process, from brainstorming ideas to refining my manuscript. Her insightful feedback and encouragement kept me motivated, even during the challenging moments.
Sylvia’s wealth of knowledge about the publishing industry was invaluable.
If you're serious about writing your book, Sylvia is the coach you need.
