Making YOU Googlicious & unforgettable

60 Minutes with Annette

Stuck on a question. Not sure which category fits. Got a draft that isn’t landing. Want a sanity check before you click submit. Book a session and we’ll work it out together. It’s $497 per session.

What a Session Is

A 60-minute one-on-one call. You bring the question. I bring the experience. We work it out together.

It’s not a coaching call. It’s not a strategy session. It’s a working meeting. You come prepared with whatever you’re stuck on. You leave knowing your next move.

Most people walk out of these sessions with the answer to something they’d been chewing on for hours. Sometimes weeks. The thing about being too close to your own business is you can’t see it. Twenty minutes with someone who’s read 500 award entries and judged hundreds of them tends to crack it open quickly.

What people bring to these sessions:

You don’t need to know exactly what to bring.

You just need to know what’s bugging you.

  • A draft they’ve written that doesn’t sound right and they can’t work out why.
  • An entry that lost last year and they want to know what went wrong before they submit again.
  • A category decision they keep going back and forth on.
  • A question they’ve been staring at for two hours that’s still defeating them.
  • A support document they’re not sure passes the sniff test.
  • An AI-drafted entry they want sense-checked before submitting.
  • A finalist nomination they want to convert into a win.
  • An acceptance speech they don’t want to wing.
  • A whole entry from scratch where they don’t even know where to start.
  • A debrief after a win to plan the leverage properly before the moment fades.

How it works

You book a slot using the calendar below.

You get a short form asking what you want to focus on, and a place to upload anything you’d like me to look at beforehand. Drafts, criteria sheets, support docs, whatever’s relevant. Get it to me at least 24 hours before the call and I’ll have read it before we speak.

We meet on Zoom for 60 minutes. Camera optional. Notes optional.

Sessions are recorded so you can play it back instead of frantically scribbling. You get the recording within 24 hours.

If we need more time, you can book straight on at the end of the call or grab a multi-session pack for a better rate.

What this isn't

A free chat. A general business coaching session. A sales call. A motivational pep talk. A place to pitch me your idea and hope I’ll write your entry for you.

It’s working time with someone who knows the awards game inside out.

Who the session is for

See yourself on this list?

The first-timer.

Never entered an award before. Wants to make sure the first one isn’t a wasted entry fee.

The serial finalist.

Keeps making the finals but never wins. Suspects there’s a system they’re missing. There is.

The mid-entry panicker.

Three days from the deadline. Half-finished draft. Sense of dread. Books a session for the emergency triage.

The reluctant writer.

Hates writing about themselves. Has been putting it off for months. Needs someone to talk it through with them so the writing becomes bearable.

The marketing manager.

Stuck writing entries for a founder who won’t sit still for an interview. Books a session to work out how to extract the answers they need.

The post-win planner.

Just won something and doesn’t want to waste the moment. Books a session to plan the leverage before the trophy gathers dust.

The kit owner.

Downloaded the kit, started working through it, hit a wall on one specific thing. Books a session to crack that one thing open.

Questions worth asking

Book anyway. Half the value of these sessions is figuring out what the right question actually is. You bring the mess. We sort it together.

Yes. Send it to annette@awardwritingservices.com.

Get them to me 24 hours before the session and I’ll have read everything by the time we meet.

Most of the time it is. If we need more, you can book straight on from the call at a returning-client rate, or grab three or five sessions  if you’ve got multiple things to work through or want me on tap throughout the year.  Add links to multiple sessions.

Yes. Up to two people in a single session. Anything more becomes a workshop, which is a different thing entirely.

No. I will help you write better entries. If you want me to write it for you, that’s the done-for-you service and it’s priced separately. Reply to your confirmation email and I’ll send you the details.

You can reschedule any session up to 24 hours before the call, no questions asked. Inside 24 hours, the session forfeits unless something genuinely unavoidable happens, in which case message me directly.

If you got nothing out of the session, message me within seven days and I’ll refund it. That’s never happened but never say never… But the option’s there.

Yes. I work with clients across Asia-Pacific, the UK, and the US. Sessions are scheduled in your timezone.

The thing you've been stuck on for three weeks usually cracks open in twenty minutes. Worth a try.
