So, you have an idea for a book but aren’t sure how to turn your idea into a working, organized, coherent manuscript? You don’t need more ideas, experiences, or expertise – what you need is a book coach!
A book coach is your guide through the book-writing process. They rely on their expertise and experience with writing and publishing to make the book-writing process as seamless as possible for you.
A book coach doesn’t just tell you what to do. When it comes to book-writing, they are your best friend, your biggest critic, and your #1 cheerleader for as long as you need them to support you on your journey.
So How Does Working with a Book Coach Benefit you?
They keep you accountable
This is the number one setback that many people have when writing a book.
If you want to finish your book, you need someone who is going to check in with you, be there to answer questions, and give you a gentle nudge to keep moving forward, especially during those times when the finish line feels so far away.
They simplify the process for you
Publishing a book is so much more than just writing. It involves outlining, editing, publishing, marketing and more! All of this can leave you feeling overwhelmed and take you away from actually writing the book itself.
Book coaches have been through the book-writing process and can help you avoid frustration and save time compared to if you were to try and find all the answers on your own.
They offer honest, constructive feedback
Let’s face it, it’s hard to take feedback from family and friends, especially if what you are writing about is a passion project that is close to your heart.
A book coach on the other hand is there for one purpose – to use their experience and expertise to help you publish the best piece of work you are capable of. Knowing this, you will likely be more receptive to feedback, even if it’s a little hard to hear at first.
Regardless of whether you just have a few ideas on a page or the first draft completed, a book coach may be the missing element for you to finally become the published author you aspire to be.
