Why Is This Challenge Only $199? i
This is Jennie and I want to speak to this question directly. I’m running this special offer because the number one reason people don’t sign up for Author Accelerator’s year-long Book Coach Certification Program is not the money it costs.
It’s not the time it takes.
It’s not even the niggling concern that they won’t be able to master the skills they need to help writers.
It’s the fear that they don’t have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.
The whole idea of creating a business plan freaks people out.
I get it — it can feel like a big, giant leap. But that’s exactly why I created this program. I want to walk you step-by-step through the process so you can see that completely possible for YOU to do this.
For just $199, you’ll learn how to think like a business owner, build your plan, and get fired up to make a commitment to take our training.
I feel certain that once you experience this kind of focused, supportive coaching, you’ll see the value in Author Accelerator’s Book Coach Certification Program — and you’ll be ready to join us for a year of intensive training that builds on everything you start here.

Hi I’m Jennie Nash
I’m the founder and CEO of Author Accelerator.
We’re on a mission to lead the emerging book coaching industry.
We’ve certified more than 320 book coaches who are working with all kinds of writers all over the world, helping them write better books and figure out how to get those books into readers’ hands.
I’m a huge evangelist for book coaching because I have seen firsthand what an enormous impact it makes on the writer and their work. As one of my recent clients said to me, “I feel grateful for this whole process with you. I (finally!) love what I wrote. How does anyone do this without a book coach?!”
Being a book coach also has an enormous impact on the coach. We make all the decisions about our business, call all the shots, and utilize all our talents — for words and ideas, for stories, for people, and for making meaning.
I’m excited to introduce you to what your book coaching business might look like.
