Freshly Press
HELLO, I’M TRACY STEWART - FOUNDER OF FRESHLY PRESS, GHOSTWRITER, BOOK COACH, WRITING MENTOR AND AUTHOR
Don’t worry about being the perfect writer. Come and tell me your story. Sound like you. I can help get the words on the page.
Because the world needs your book.
At Freshly Press, I’m here to lead a movement for mission-driven individuals like you to own and tell your stories, and share your wisdom and experiences.
To disrupt and change the world with confidence, staying true to your values.
It’s all about helping YOU find the best way to bring
YOUR STORIES to life ...
Together, we’ll find the best writing services and strategies to support you; as you are, and where you are.
Neurodiversity, disability, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ are welcomed and celebrated here. No one approach or process fits all. There’s no ‘fitting in a box.’
Ways We Can Work Together …
Ghostwriting
It all begins with an idea, a desire to share your story and experience. Maybe you want to help others in similar situations. Maybe you want to turn your story into something more. Or maybe you want to help others learn from your mistakes and successes. Whatever it is, how you tell your story can make all the difference.
I ghostwrite memoirs, self-help and business books, along with other creative copy for inspiring people all over the world. I love supporting individuals to leave their legacy through the written word and helping organisations raise awareness through storytelling.
From a full-service ghostwrite to a rewrite of your existing draft, I've got you covered.
Writer, Unblock! Sessions
My legendary Writer, Unblock!, Kick Starter and Strategy Sessions get ‘write’ to the nub of the matter. These stand-alone 60 or 90-minute focused sessions are two of the most popular ways to get your project off the ground, restarted or moved to the next stage. Because sometimes we just need to talk it out.
BOOK COACH IN YOUR POCKET
Write your first draft in 30 days
A month of personalised, week-daily nonfiction book coaching starts with a 90-minute coaching session to clarify your idea, map out your reader journey, and give you accountability to get your words down ready to get your book project on to the next phase.
Developmental Editing
You want someone to read what you’ve written so far and give feedback, guidance, and suggestions on what to do next? This offers a great way to help you make sense of the first draft you've written, which is just you telling yourself the story, and create a practical plan to move the project forward. Available as both stand-alone or part of a coaching/mentoring package.
Book Coaching & Mentoring
If you’re looking for a guiding mentor or coach, for either one-off or regular advice and accountability to get your book written, or simply someone to talk to and make sense of the options or unblock your writing… I’m here to help you navigate your author journey in a way that works for you.
Noted by the San Francisco Examiner as one of the top book coaches to follow in 2024, I use my tried and tested ‘The W.R.I.T.E. Mindset Method’ to underpin our work together. It cares for you, the author, alongside the craft of writing. Supporting the best processes and methods to write FOR YOU.
Book coaching and writer mentoring are available for both fiction and non-fiction projects.
VIP BOOK INTENSIVE
A full private 6-hour day with a professional book coach to make actual, tangible, progress on the book you started… but never finished.
This is for creative entrepreneurs, memoirists, coaches, writers, and purpose-driven people who want to stop feeling guilty about that half-finished book they have hidden in the draw and are ready to tell their story and make an impact.

The W.R.I.T.E. Society Membership
Sometimes what we are looking for is a community where we can learn, connect and progress in a way that is not pressured and doesn’t add stress to already full lives.
We want accountability to keep us on track, a place where we can ask questions about the craft and process of writing, ask advice when we're stuck, and a safe space to connect with people who ‘get us’. We also want something that is affordable accessible, and flexible to meet our needs.
