Book Coaching
A book coach is a guide who can help you transform from being the person with an idea for a book to becoming an author with a completed manuscript. They offer a safe place for you to ideate, help you unlock your creativity, and provide the tools you need to become a better writer.
Some ways a book coach can help you:
- Brainstorming – Do you need help refining all those ideas in your head? Book coaches can help you make decisions about your book’s content, structure, and direction, as well as voice, tone, and style.
- Feedback – They can give you solid advice on what’s working and what isn’t.
- Guidance – Coaches provide general editorial help and give you writing tips and tools that you can use beyond your current project.
- Sounding board – They can be your partner in the creative process.
- Biggest fan and encourager – They will be there to cheer you on or to boot you back into play, if necessary.
Coaching Packages
Coaching is all about the client! To meet your unique needs, I offer two kinds of flexible coaching packages – a stand-alone offering or an ongoing relationship:
Coaching I
This abbreviated solution is perfect for folks who have short-term or limited needs. Perhaps you're just starting out, and you aren't quite ready to commit to spending significant time on your book. You just want to test the waters, to see if writing a book is right for you right now. This level of service is also a great fit for an author who is in the midst of writing and just needs a little help working through a sticky patch.
Package Includes:
- One 1-hour coaching session via phone or online meetings
- A comprehensive action plan and resources
- Up to 25 pages (6,250 words) reviewed (if applicable)
Coaching II
This comprehensive service provides the extra attention and support that an author may need to make significant progress on their manuscript. After an initial meeting and manuscript review (if applicable), we'll work together to establish what you need to work on and set up a curriculum.
Package Includes:
- Up to 180 minutes of coaching per month via phone or online meetings on a schedule that works for you
- Action plans and work reviews after each session
- Unlimited support emails
- Purchase month-to-month coaching or bundle multiple months for a discount
