Book Coaching
This service does not include editing services
What Is A Book Coach?
In short, a book coach guides you through the book writing process.
A book coach will help you focus on one project at a time, giving you assignment deadlines, editorial feedback and a set number of coaching sessions.
The specifics of how each coach works may vary, but there are three things that every book coach should provide.
My job isn’t to change the book you've written, or tell you what to see.
My job is to help you see what you cannot .
To coach you through the book writing process, to point out the missing places of your work, and to connect you to your best story.
What Does a Book Coach Do?
Story Development
Before your manuscript ever hits an editor or agent’s desk, it needs to be complete or nearly complete.
This is where a professional book coach comes in.
They’ll be that critical eye to guide you to the deep layers of character and story development and flow.
A book coach has no other agenda than to help you find the best story you can tell.
Emotional Support
Every writer has been there.
That initial spark, that moment of genius so poignant that you can’t get to a computer or notebook fast enough.
But then, a few chapters in, you start to question yourself.
You reread your work and the doubts starts to creep in.
You see other writers you know being published, and you feel so far behind.
So, rather than working through the fear and insecurity, you convince yourself you’re not a writer.
That's when it's time to hire a book coach.
Your book coach knows the work you’ve put into your manuscript, and they can help you filter through the frustration and disappointment, so you can keep writing.
Project Management
Project management may sound daunting.
And that's because, it is.
Writing a book is a project. It’s a massive undertaking, and one that most writers just can’t manage themselves.
Hiring a book coach alleviates the stress of creating and maintaining your own deadlines.
So, if you’re ready to work with an experienced book coach and ensure your writing journey is on the right path, book a free consultation today.
