Guided journal printing for coaches, trainers and course creators
Our guided journal printing turns your prompts, frameworks and weekly check-ins into a branded journal for every client or cohort. Upload your interior, approve a proof, and order from 10 copies, then reorder the same edition for the next group.
Who uses guided journals
Guided journals work wherever people follow a program over weeks.
- Coaches: a 12-week program with goals, weekly reflections and session notes.
- Trainers and gyms: a training log with habits, workouts and progress check-ins.
- Course creators: a companion journal for each module of an online course.
- Workshop leaders: a short journal for a one-day or weekend workshop.
Pick the format by program length
| Program | Format | Inside pages |
|---|---|---|
| A 12-week program or longer | Coil journal | 100 pages; lies flat |
| A workshop or a short course | Stapled notebook | 48 pages |
What it costs
| Copies | Coil journal, 100 pages | Stapled notebook, 48 pages |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | $139 ($13.90 each) | $99 ($9.90 each) |
| 25 | $239 ($9.56 each) | $149 ($5.96 each) |
| 50 | $409 ($8.18 each) | $229 ($4.58 each) |
| 100 | $759 ($7.59 each) | $389 ($3.89 each) |
Your own interior costs the same as lined paper. Any whole quantity from 10 to 250 is priced in proportion between tiers, and the price calculator shows the delivered total.
Ideas for your pages
| Page | What it does |
|---|---|
| Starting point | Where the client is today, in their own words |
| Goals | Three goals for the program, with a reason for each |
| Weekly check-in | Wins, obstacles, one focus for next week |
| Session notes | Notes from each call, with action items |
| Habit tracker | A grid of daily check boxes for the habits you teach |
| Your framework | Your model or method on one page, to refer back to |
| Reflection | A closing page for the last session |
Repeat the weekly pages for each week of the program, and fill the rest with lined pages.
Building the journal into your price
Divide the order price by the number of copies to get your cost per client. Coaches and course creators often include the journal in the program fee, so every client starts with one in hand.
Set up your interior
Build the inside pages in Canva, Word or InDesign, then export one PDF.
- Page size: 5.5 x 8.5 in, one page per PDF page, in reading order.
- Page count: exactly 100 pages for the coil journal or 48 for the stapled notebook. Fill spare pages with lined or blank pages.
- Black and white: inside pages print in black and white, so use gray shading, not color, for boxes and highlights.
- Margins: keep text 0.5 in from the binding edge on the coil journal.
- Fonts: embed them when you export.
Upload your cover separately, or send your logo, and we set it on our cover template. Notebook cover guide, 5.5 x 8.5 in (PDF) shows the cover size, bleed and coil zone.
Reorder the same edition
We keep your approved file, so every new cohort gets the same journal. Confirm the file is still current, choose a quantity and order. If you change pages, you approve a new proof.
Shipping
We ship each order to one address, such as your studio or office. Shipping each journal to a different client is a quote. Want a color workbook to go with the journal? See coaching workbooks.
You get a digital proof the same business day we receive a complete file, and production takes 1 to 3 business days after approval and payment.
