What Is Book Coaching?

A book coach (or writing coach) is a professional editor, a mentor, and a cheerleader for writers at any stage of the writing process. Whether a writer is starting from scratch, reworking a story idea, or is almost ready to pitch or self-publish, a book coach can:

• act as a sounding board for creative ideas

• guide writers toward reaching their writing goals

• be invested in the writing project and in the writing journey

• often work with the same writer for months or years
