You don’t have to be a published author to be a great book coach.
That’s because book coaching requires a different skill set than writing. Some of the most skilled story analysts, editors, and champions of creativity are out there working as:
~ Lawyers and librarians
~ English teachers and project managers
~ Professors and therapists
~ Copywriters and content producers
We know, because we've trained them to be amazing book coaches.
💰 One left a job as an English teacher and now makes 6-figures as a book coach.
🎯 Another was a stay-at-home mom who built a mission-driven year-long mastermind for marginalized writers — and she’s making 6-figures too.
❤️ Another sold her own novel at auction to a Big 5 publishing house but has vowed to continue to coach other writers because she loves it so much.
It all started when they noticed how much fun it was to help friends, family, and colleagues with their writing and how they wished they could do work that fed their souls.
Is that you, too?
You can spend many happy hours brainstorming solutions to plot problems in your college roommate’s thriller, helping a coworker polish an article for a major journal, or encouraging your book club friend not to give up on her dream of writing a memoir just because she feels stuck.
You love how it feels to help writers improve their work and inspire them to greatness.
It always fills you up… and maybe it always has.
What if you could take your natural talent for nurturing creative work and turn it into a book coaching business?
What if you could be the reason that someone writes the kind of book people stay up all night reading?
What if you could have more flexibility in your career, more decision-making power, more schedule control, and the chance to make good money doing what you love?
You can!
We’ve certified more than 360 book coaches and taught them how to run successful businesses and we can show you, too.
In the live training, I’ll be teaching some of the fundamental concepts you need to succeed, including:
1. How to understand why so many writers now hire book coaches to help them navigate a complex publishing industry and what you can do to serve them.
2. How to define the kinds of writers you’ll be coaching so that the work feels meaningful.
3. The secret to avoiding the most common money mistakes people make when starting a book coaching business so you can build a viable business
Hi I’m Jennie Nash
I’m the founder and CEO of Author Accelerator. We’ve certified more than 340 book coaches, who are working all over the globe to help writers do their best work.
My own book coaching clients have landed top New York agents and six-figure book deals with Big 5 houses such as Penguin, Scribner, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette. They’ve won dozens of national indie book awards, landed on the Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller lists, and become a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick.
I’m also the author of twelve books in three genres, but book coaching is my true love.
Teaching and inspiring writers to raise their voice, do their best work, and make their dreams a reality just lights me up, and now I’m on a mission to set the standard of excellence in this brand-new industry.
I can’t wait to tell you more about it.
“Jennie Nash is the superwoman of book coaches. She is bringing dignity and skills to this wild west profession.”— Jen Louden, bestselling author and book coach
“Jennie Nash is utterly brilliant and scary savvy. Her advice is pure gold! I’ll always be in awe of her – she rocks!”— Lisa Cron, author of Wired for Story, Story Genius, and Story or Die

WHO IT’S FOR: People who are serious about becoming a book coach. You might be a writer or someone who does freelance editing on the side. You might be a teacher or a professor. You love books, you love to teach and inspire, you love to learn, and you’re ready to bet on yourself.
WHO IT’S NOT FOR: People who just want someone to hand them clients, hand them money, and tell them what to do. We’re teaching people how to start their own businesses and if you don’t want to do that, our program is not for you.

I’ll tell you all about it during the live training — and will be offering a special discount. We’re enrolling a cohort of 12 people for an October 3 start date.
