Meet Karen

Hi, I’m Karen Sommerville—multi-published award-winning author, book coach, and believer in second (and third) chapters.

Many of the writers I work with are entering or navigating midlife and beyond. Some are returning to a creative dream after years of caregiving, career-building, or life transitions. Others are just now giving themselves permission to write fiction for the first time. Wherever you’re starting, your voice is valid, and your story is worth telling. 

​

I created Your Write Coach to support the entire writer—not just the words on the page, but the story- teller behind them. My coaching style is compassionate but grounded, craft-savvy and human-centered. I help you gain clarity on your story, confidence in your process, and a sense of purpose that goes far beyond publication. Because writing a novel isn’t just about getting it done—it’s about becoming the writer you were always meant to be.

​

Let’s begin together!
