💎 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 💎
💎 Why Hire A Book Coach? 💎
A book coach can help you develop your storytelling skills, make progress in your writing, and feel confident in yourself and what you create.
Writing is often lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. Through video calls and emails, you get a custom combination of the following, depending on your needs:
-
Tools and exercises to help you plan or outline your book
-
A project manager and developmental editor working with you chapter by chapter as you draft or revise your book
-
One-on-one help making and carrying out a writing plan
-
Feedback on your writing — what’s working and suggestions to improve
-
Accountability with writing goals and deadlines
-
Resources and writing exercises to build your skills
-
Information and expertise on the publishing marketplace
-
Opportunities to ask questions and brainstorm with someone
-
Encouragement and celebrations of your accomplishments
-
Paying for professional help means you’ll be more intentional and emotionally invested in making your writing a priority.
Working with a book coach saves an enormous amount of time. Having support and feedback while you write often means you don’t need as many drafts to produce the book you are envisioning. Writers who work with book coaches have decided that it is more valuable for them to pay to work with a trained professional than to trade their limited time working with a critique partner or writing group.
💎 What Is Book Coaching?💎
A book or writing coach is someone who guides a writer through the writing process. This is a one-on-one partnership that works best over a sustained duration of working together to help you understand your writing process, dig into why you’re writing what you’re writing, and give you regular feedback on your writing and resources to help you write the best book you can.
As an Author Accelerator certified book cCoach, instructor, and developmental editor with over 16 years of experience, I’m trained in writing, storytelling, developmental editing, how to give feedback, and how to project-manage big writing projects. I also have a wide range of knowledge about the publishing industry and am always trying to learn more so that I can share that information with you.
✨ Will Working with a Book Coach Guarantee Me a Book Deal? ✨
Sorry, no. Nobody can guarantee you that. If they do, they’re scamming you.

But working with a book coach will help you become a better writer, help you make progress in your writing project, and hopefully be encouraging and fun too.
