Book coaching is a collaborative process between an author and a coach. A book coach acts as a motivator, project manager, butt-kicker, and guide, helping the writer from a blank page to the first draft to a finished, polished manuscript ​​that’s ready for publication. The process includes identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the author’s work, suggesting ways to improve it, providing publishing industry insights, and keeping the writer on track throughout the writing process​​. A book coach ensures that your vision for your book is realized and that the final product is polished and ready for publication​​. Book coaches can also help authors navigate the often-intimidating publishing process.
