What’s this year’s Dream Author Experience going to involve? Well, loads of goodies as usual! As well as all the regular features (Advanced and Live coaching calls, Dream Author for Life sessions, Guest Speakers, Concept Classes, Masterclasses, Literary Diagnostics, Projects and Progress reviews etc) The Experience will contain, for the first time ever, three amazing new features:
1) Real-time coaching on your Models in the Slack channel, and my own self-coaching progress in the Slack channel too. The Slack has never been used to its maximum potential, and I’m determined to make the most of it — so it’s going to become much more of a coaching, self-coaching, teaching and community resource from now on. Once you’ve joined The Dream Author Experience, email sophiedacoach@gmail.com for details of how to join the Slack group if you’re not already in there.
2) Group ‘BookAhead Method’ Writing Sessions! I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to think of this, but luckily I’ve thought of it now: if I want to produce regular words and get my books written next year, what better way to ensure that happens than to commit to some writing time with Dream Authors? If I’ve told you all I’ll be there, writing, then of course I will. Whereas if I’ve only told myself, I’m far less likely to stick to that commitment. So that’s going to be introduced as a regular feature!
3) Until now, I’ve always said: ‘Finish the regular Dream Author 14-month programme before joining The Dream Author Experience’. Well, I’m going to change that instruction. From now on, if you’d like to join The Experience before you’ve completed the first tier of Dream Author, you can! If you want to join in with the BookAhead writing sessions, I don’t want you to miss out. So, from now on it will be up to Dream Authors to decide whether they want to be in both levels of Dream Author at once.
Topics we’re going to cover this year in The Dream Author Experience will include: the relationship between external and international validation; comfort zones and capacity; the difference between playing to win and playing to avoid losing; the link between growth and decision-making; how to apply entrepreneur mindset to your writing goals; and learning to love the hardest parts of striving for writing success.
I also very much hope and believe that 2026 will be the year that Dream Author partners up with a Big 5 Publisher to create a publishing imprint! So we’ll be working on how to approach (both mindset-wise and practically) being your own best permission-giver, literary and publishing authority, and commissioning editor.
I can’t wait to start!

I was coaching someone the other day and she said she wanted to give up on her writing dreams because the hope was killing her. I told her that, if this were a murder mystery plot, I would have a huge twist in store for her…because hope does not kill anything or anyone. ‘Hopeful’ is a fantastic emotion that, in its pure and undiluted form, makes us feel great. ‘So what might the true killer be?’ I asked her. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘I just keep thinking that it’s so painful, having all this hope and doing all this work, knowing it might all end in failure.’ ‘Interesting,’ I said. ‘And when you think that thought: “All this hope and work might end in failure”, what do you feel?’ ‘Utter despair!’ she said. That was how we established that it was despair that might kill her dreams, not hope.
In Dream Author, we eliminate despair (which is absolutely doable), distil and harness hope, add it to massive action with unlimited belief, and move forward to turn our dreams into reality.
