WHAT IS BOOK COACHING?

A book coach (or writing coach) is a professional:

editor, mentor, and cheerleader

for writers at any stage of the writing process – whether starting from scratch or preparing to pitch or publish.

They...

act as a sounding board for creative ideas
guide the writer to reach their writing goals
are invested in the writer's project but also in their writing journey
often work with a writer for months or years
usually freelance or work for themselves
coach writers full-time or as a side gig to another career
