Book Coaching Services

A book is a powerful marketing tool.  It's also a statement that you are an expert in your field, whether that's business communications or medieval history.  Writing a book, however, can be a long and difficult process...and after the writing process is finished, you're faced with the challenge of publishing your book.  Working with a book coach means you'll receive the structure and assistance you need to finish your project quickly and professionally.

Book coaching services are available for:

- Non-fiction writers

- Fiction writers

- Writers seeking traditional publication

- Writers who wish to self-publish

- Writers whose projects are at their inception

- Writers with completed manuscripts

Book coaching services include:

- Refining your idea / gaining a clear understanding of your goals and content

- Studying the market to see how your idea fits into current trends / determining the viability of your idea in terms of potential sales

- Establishing your promotional plan (in the case of non-fiction)

- Fleshing out your story arc and characters (in the case of fiction)

- Writing book proposals / outlines / synopses

- Copyediting your completed manuscript / proposal

- Finding and approaching literary agents / publishers

- Writing cover letters / queries

Clients determine the number and frequency of coaching sessions; however, the full program (for clients who have not begun their projects) runs for a minimum of 12 sessions.  (Sessions typically last 90 minutes and are held on a weekly or bimonthly basis.)  You may opt for assistance with any aspect of your project.
