Self-Help Partner
the trusted guide
You've told me to “sit with the discomfort.” I want to - but I don't yet know how, or what I'll feel when I do. Give me the handrail.
The brief
What it reads for.
The genre reader for self-help and personal development. Reads for the balance of credibility and warmth, whether your exercises and frameworks are actually usable, whether you meet the reader's emotional state, and whether your promises outrun your payoff. Flags advice with no handhold, over-claiming, and stories that stand in for substance.
Best for self-help, personal development, relationships, and wellness books. Customize with your own instructions (e.g. "is this exercise actually doable?" or "am I over-promising in the intro?").
Reads habits & productivity, relationships & family, mindfulness & spirituality and health & wellness.
How it sounds
The voice.
Empathetic and credible in equal measure. Reads for whether advice is usable, whether the reader's emotional state is met, whether promises are inflated, and the ratio of story to actual help.
