Ready To Begin?
Let’s talk about your book properly.
There will be no high-pressure sales nonsense. If your story is calling you, you already know. I’m just here to help you determine the best way forward.
Three pathways (non-fiction only):
- Foundation—an 8-week group programme to get your story out of your head and into a complete chapter-by-chapter outline. This is the map before you write.
- Write Your Book – 6-Week Writing Blasts. Write your book with weekly accountability, writing sessions and Q&A.
- Beyond the Book – From Manuscript to Movement – Explore what wants to emerge from your finished manuscript – workshops, circles, or offerings that extend your wisdom’s reach. (I do strategy, not implementation – that bit’s yours.)
How we start: A brief discovery call to see if this works for both of us. If not, I’ll still send you useful resources.
When You Book...
Tell Me Where You’re At:
Which pathway are you most drawn to?
- Foundation – I need to get my story structured into an actual outline
- Write Your Book – I have my outline and I’m ready to write with support
- Beyond the Book – My manuscript’s done, and I want to explore what comes next
Not sure yet – let’s figure it out together
Tell Me About Your Story:
- What’s calling you right now?
- What story needs to be told?
Don’t worry about getting it “right” – just share what’s actually going on for you.
A Few Things To Know Before We Connect:
- I work with people who are ready to do the inner work alongside the writing work
- We meet on Zoom. I’m based in Madrid (Europe time)
- If you’re writing about trauma or healing, you need to have therapeutic support in place
- I don’t write your book for you – this is your story, your voice, your work
- I do strategy, not implementation. I’ll help you design the plan; you (or your team) do the doing
- My approach has flow and flexibility – if you need rigid step-by-step instructions for everything, we’re probably not the right fit
Choose Your Memoir Path
Foundation - Get Your Story Out of Your Head
8-Week Group Programme
Unearth your raw material and map your transformation to The Wild Heart Journey’s 8 phases before you write extensively. You’ll walk away with a complete chapter-by-chapter outline and clarity about which book you’re actually writing.
Writing - Online Writing Retreats
6-Week Writing Blasts
Write your book with weekly accountability, writing sessions and Q&A.
These sprints are designed to motivated and inspire you.
Beyond the Book - From Manuscript to Movement
3-Month Implementation Programme
Explore what wants to emerge from your finished manuscript – workshops, circles, or offerings that extend your wisdom’s reach without forcing ecosystem building. For women with completed manuscripts, ready to see what’s next.
Plus: Publishing Support (available as an add-on) Once your manuscript is done, I can project manage your publishing journey – beta readers, finding editors, cover design, formatting, platform guidance, and launch strategy. You maintain creative control; I handle the coordination. (This costs extra and we’ll discuss it when you’re ready.)
From Dale
A Personal Note
I’ve been guiding women to bring their books into the world for years, and here’s what I know for certain: there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Your story isn’t a template, and your path shouldn’t be either.
The real gap isn’t just between “wanting to write” and “actually starting.” It’s between finishing your manuscript and making sure that book actually lives in the world – read, useful, and (if you want) working for your business. That’s where strategy comes in.
Some women need the practical frameworks and energy of a group programme, while others are ready for deeper one-to-one work. Many need both: the courage to write honestly and the clarity to plan what happens after you type “The End.”
What matters most is choosing the path that fits your energy, capacity, season of life, and goals.
Your book deserves to exist. Whether it shares your expertise or your transformation, it deserves to be read and to do a job in the world. We can honour your story and real-life circumstances while still building a brilliant plan for how your words reach people: readers, community, offers, courses, and conversations that matter.
Which path is calling you?
- Foundation – Get your story structured (8-week group programme)
- Write Your Book – Write with support and accountability (6-month programme)
- Beyond the Book – Turn your finished manuscript into a movement (strategy work)
- Publishing Support – Project management for the publishing journey (add-on service)
(Non-fiction only. I guide and strategise; you maintain creative control. If you’re writing about trauma or healing, therapeutic support needs to be in place.)

What Others Say
Dale, you have a beautiful, gentle energy, and I learned so much more about how to get the most out of journaling and different ways to meditate and connect to the heart and heart of Mother Earth. I loved your books and ways of connecting from our soul to our journal. Dale has a beautiful way of making you feel held in loving energy. Fiona Clark
Allowing myself the time to participate in Dale’s Awakened Spirit sessions was one of the best gifts I’ve given myself.
The sessions were more than writing and listening to someone share information – they were a coming together of like minded people and being guided by Dale to tap into our inner selves.
I came away from each session motivated and inspired to write, to dream, to explore. Fiona B
I am truly grateful for the writing course led by the incredible Dale. From the very first session, her nurturing spirit and brilliant guidance created an environment that encouraged me to explore my creativity in ways I never thought possible. Dale’s ability to bring out the best in her students is nothing short of magical. She has a unique talent for awakening ideas and igniting a passion for writing that truly resonates with each individual. Zipa L

I only have high esteem for Dale Darley, who not only believed in my vision but was by my side as I literally birthed my book. During our initial consultation, I knew Dale not only understood me but truly H E A R D me. She has a unique and special way of guiding you structurally and intuitively, and this skill has evolved through her vast life experience. Her insights help you expand your vision, and Dale’s knowledge allows the passage of writing and publishing a book to flow with more ease. Because Dale understands the peaks and troughs that a writer moves through, this can help curb any writer’s block and burn out. Thank you, Dale, for all your patience, understanding, wisdom, kindness and laughter that we shared through this experience.
I would never have even got halfway through writing my book without Dales help.
Dale…you have truly guided me through the entire process and believed in me when I felt unsure about myself. This project is excellent, and I am sure it will touch many hearts. Thank you for your calming presence and for offering this wonderful project to all of us.
Working with Dale is a pleasure in both a professional and personal sense. I worked with her on my second book, and she made creating it with my team of co-authors an easy and creative process. This process took us all, step by step, to publishing a very special book – The F-Factor. I can highly recommend her special brand of expertise and support.
