“Writing a book is a solitary task like no other and Prolifiko provided me with brilliant working practices and mentoring when I was flying blind in the early stages. I learned to push through procrastination and paralysis with techniques like chapter splurging and seven day sprints, and continue to treasure the 10-minute-test – sit at the desk and write for just ten minutes to see how tired I really am. Thanks, for setting me on the path to confidence and productivity!”
How does it work?
Based on thousands of hours working with writers, our coaching model helps you reflect on your writing practice and find a system that’s personal to you. We give you proven approaches, mindset models and tactics to try that build your resilience, combat your blocks and keep you motivated.
What do you mean by a ‘system’?
Productivity is personal. There’s no one way to get the writing done – there are many. Finding what helps you is an iterative process that involves experimentation, reflection and adaption. Our coaching programs help you discover and then build a system of approaches that work for you in your life as it is.
92% of our 7-Day Sprinters achieve their weekly goal*
A 7-Day Writing Sprint is a structured daily writing challenge that gives you and your writing a rocket-fuelled push in the right direction. Ideal if you’re stuck on a project, in need of a burst of energy or finding it tough to get off the starting blocks. When you join our sprint group you receive:
- A tried and tested coaching process with direct access to expert productivity coaches.
- Warm up and cool down exercises to help you set manageable goals and reflect on your progress.
- Access to a friendly and supportive group of like-minded writers to learn from and write alongside.
And the best part is it’s all completely free. We run one writing sprint from the first Monday of every month.

Who’s written about us
“The writing sprint was awesome. It really helped to feel like I was in a cohort of writers who were all working together towards different goals. When I wasn’t feeling very motivated the words of others really helped move me forward. I’d highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get back into their writing or make some progress with a project that has lost steam.”

“Before I signed up for Prolifiko’s coaching, I’d been trying to finish for a very long time – years, in fact – so it feels surreal and amazing to have got there. I would thoroughly recommend the coaching programme to anyone wanting to get a writing project done.”

“I could never get it together sufficiently to write a thesis while working at the same time. Prolifiko gave me much-needed structure and I could see how my work was developing over time. Your willingness to engage with me during the hardest of times made all the difference! I passed by viva in October2019 – your encouragement was pivotal to that!“

“Chris and Bec presented a fantastic webinar to our audience about building a writing habit that sticks. Our attendees were interested and engaged and walked away not only with valuable insights, but also actionable steps for how to improve their writing process. They’re an amazing team – we can’t wait to have them back!“
“We invited Prolifiko to run a workshop focusing on specific needs that participants provided in advance. This included challenges such as the barriers, blocks and pressures that writing often brings. The team addressed all of these and provided practical solutions. We look forward working with them again.“
“Bec led a brilliant online masterclass on How to Build a Writing Habit, which left our audience of new writers inspired, motivated and with practical tools to apply to their own work. I’ve always valued Bec’s productivity advice for my own writing too!”
“I’ve long admired Bec as someone with her finger firmly on the pulse of all things writing and productivity. In a world of vague promises, Prolifiko grounds their work in data and psychology, with a keen and quick eye for what makes writers tick.”
