Hi, my name is Margrete Lamond.

I coach picture-book authors and illustrators and guide them through the process of writing a publishable manuscript, or perfecting a publisher-ready portfolio.

I also coach high achievers who dream of writing their first - or only - book.

If you have a book waiting to emerge, I help make that happen.


Whether you’re a C-suite executive without a moment to think, a lawyer longing to reignite your creative spark, an empty-nester ready to spread your own wings, or simply someone with a story to tell, then there are ways we can work together.

Start here with me to by-pass the overwhelm.
