Meet the Team

We are a passionate group of coaches dedicated to helping people become the happiest and most productive writers they can be.

Trevor Thrall, Founder

As the founder of Get Your Writing Done and author of The 12 Week Year for Writers and The Weekly Writing Routine Workbook, my mission is to help people reach their goals by helping them to become the most productive writers they can be.

I have spent almost 25 years using the 12 Week Year to manage my own writing. I have used the system to publish ten books and edited volumes, a host of academic articles and book chapters, and scores of op-eds and commentaries.

My work has been published in outlets such as the Atlantic, Washington Post, Foreign Policy, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Detroit News, among others. I received my Ph.D. in political science from M.I.T. and left my post as Associate Professor at George Mason University in 2022 for the “freedom hustle” and to devote more time to writing coaching. I live near the beach in North Carolina with my wife and two naughty dogs.

Leilah Moodley, Writing Coach

Leilah Moodley — writer, coach, and founder of Cool Story Sis, a creative community supporting underrepresented voices through storytelling. I specialise in therapeutic and reflective writing, helping writers move through fear, perfectionism, and creative blocks using practical structure combined with emotional depth.

I've facilitated workshops for mental health charities and within my own platform, and I integrate the 12 Week Year for Writers into both my personal practice and coaching work. My approach blends compassionate guidance with structured momentum to help writers build a sustainable, joyful writing life.

Jason Kuznicki, Writing Coach

Jason Kuznicki holds a Ph.D. in history from Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of the book Technology and the End of Authority: What Is Government For? as well as many published journal articles and essays.

For  years he was the book editor at the Cato Institute, and later editor in chief at TechFreedom, where he helped many people on the journey from a great idea to a great finished article, book, or legal brief. His recent writing can be found at Liberal Currents and at his personal newsletter, Pacification.

Christina Larocco, Writing Coach

Christina Larocco is a writer, book coach, and historian who specializes in bridging the academic and creative. She received her PhD in history from the University of Maryland, College Park, and has spent a decade as editor-in-chief of a peer-reviewed scholarly journal. Christina writes for a broad audience about feminism, history, and the craft of writing.

She is the author of The Women’s Rights Movement since 1945 (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2022) and Crosshatch: Martha Schofield, the Forgotten Feminist (1839–1916) (Blackwater Press, 2025), a hybrid memoir and biography. She is now working on her third book, tentatively titled “How to Be a Human Girl: A Memoir of Grief, Neurodivergence, and Finding a Home in the Universe.”

As a book coach, she loves to help ambitious nonfiction writers climb out of their research rabbit holes and figure out what their book is really about so they can write more purposefully and more happily than they ever thought possible.
