Why Should I Hire A Book Coach?
Book coaches guide authors through the book writing process. They help writers stay focused and organized, help brainstorm ideas, and help them reach their goals by keeping them accountable, getting to the finish line, and publishing (if that's what the writer desires). Working with a book coach can help make intimidating parts of the writing and publishing process simpler and more accessible.
What is a Book Coach?
A book coach is a person who assists with the book writing process. A book coach (AKA a writing coach/mentor) helps facilitate the creative conception of a book idea and guides the development of a first draft into a completed manuscript. Overall, a book coach helps the author improve their work in whatever way they can.
What Does a Book Coach Do?
You will meet with your book coach for one hour per week via Zoom. During the week you will work on various writing tasks, exercises, and readings (along with a due date) that will help you with your manuscript or project.
Outlining
Whether you’re writing a fiction or nonfiction book, your book coach will help you create a step-by-step outline for your work.
Set Writing Goals
If you’re struggling with writer’s block or having trouble maintaining the discipline necessary to produce consistent pages, coaching can help keep you on track by setting goals and other writing goals as well.
Accountability
Book coaches offer regularly scheduled video conferences designed to keep you on track to meet your deadlines. This accountability can help you complete your first draft, especially if you’re a first-time writer.
Critique
All books begin as a rough draft. Book coaches can analyze the first draft of a manuscript and help you address specific areas of your story that need work. Whatever the issue, a book coach can work with you to address your specific shortcomings so that your next draft is as crisp as possible.
