👩‍🏫 What Does a Book Coach Do, Exactly?

Short version? A book coach helps you go from "vague idea" to "published book" without losing your mind.

A great writing coach will:

• Help you outline and structure your book
• Keep you accountable and on track
• Troubleshoot when you get stuck
• Give you feedback that’s honest and helpful
• Teach you how to become a better writer (instead of just fixing your work)

❓True or false? “I want my book to be the one everyone in my field recommends.”

Whether you’re learning how to write a self-help book , penning your memoir, or writing a novel, a writing coach can be the difference between someday and pub day.

🤔 How Do I Choose a Book Coach?

Picking the right book coach can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s what to look for:

• Experience in your genre: If you're writing nonfiction, choose a nonfiction book coach who's written and coached nonfiction. If you're writing romance or a memoir or mystery, you'll want to choose a coach with experience in those genres.
• A process that works: Look for a clear, proven method—like our Bestseller Blueprint, designed specifically for self-help and nonfiction authors.
• Results & testimonials: Has the coach helped others get published? Build their brands? Hit bestseller lists?
• Vibe check: You’ll be working closely together. Make sure you feel comfortable, heard, and excited to collaborate.

🧠 Book Coach vs Book Writing Coach: What’s the Difference?

Spoiler: They’re often used interchangeably.

Both a book coach and a book writing coach help you:

• Get clear on your message and structure
• Build a sustainable writing habit
• Finish your draft without losing momentum

Some coaches also offer publishing guidance, marketing tips, and help choosing the best publishing platform once you’re ready. (Hi, that’s me!)

If you want someone who sticks around after "The End," make sure to ask about their post-writing support options.

🧩 Do I Need a Nonfiction Book Coach?

If you’re writing a memoir, personal development book, business book, or self-help title—YES.

Nonfiction book coaches understand:

• How to build trust with readers
• How to structure real-world expertise into transformational content
• How to make information actionable (not boring)
• How to use your book to build your business. This is the game-changer!

Writing nonfiction is different from writing a novel. It’s about clarity, authority, and results—not just beautiful prose.

If you're working on a self-help or nonfiction book, don't settle for a coach who "mostly does fiction but can probably figure it out." Get an expert.
