Book Coaching
What Book Coaching Is (and Isn’t)
Book coaching exists to save you time—and prevent unnecessary struggle.
Some authors come to coaching because they’re stuck.
Others come because they don’t want to get stuck in the first place.
Book coaching is not:
- Ghostwriting
- Editing without strategy
- Motivation without direction
- Spending months figuring out things that could be resolved quickly
Book coaching is:
- Strategic guidance from someone who’s done this many times
- Structural clarity at the moments where it matters most
- Faster decision-making
- Targeted problem-solving
- Momentum without wasted effort
Whether you’re already stuck or simply don’t want to waste valuable time guessing, coaching helps you move forward with confidence—and far less friction.
Who Book Coaching Is For
Book coaching is a good fit if you:
- Know what you want to write, but don’t want to struggle through the process alone
- Tried to figure things out yourself and hit a wall
- Want expert input instead of trial-and-error
- Are building a book that supports a business, platform, or long-term strategy
- Value clarity, efficiency, and good decisions over “powering through”
Many coaching clients fall into one of two camps:
- Authors who started writing and got stuck
- Authors who want to move faster—and do it right the first time
This includes first-time authors, experienced writers, and high-performing thought leaders who prefer to invest in clarity rather than lose time to uncertainty.
How Coaching Fits Into the Framework
Every book moves through four stages:
Coaching can support any stage—but it’s often most valuable when:
- Decisions compound
- The cost of guessing is high
- Momentum matters
PLAN
In the planning stage, coaching helps you:
- Clarify the core idea and reader promise
- Shape the book around your larger goals
- Concept business-builders that integrate naturally into the book
- Develop clear, sticky plan names and frameworks
- Brainstorm strong book titles and subtitles
- Decide what belongs in the book—and what doesn’t
- Getting this right early saves time, prevents rewrites, and makes every later stage easier.
WRITE
Coaching helps you:
- Diagnose structural issues
- Fix pacing and flow problems
- Get unstuck mid-draft
- Finish the manuscript you planned
PUBLISH
Coaching helps you:
- Understand your publishing options
- Make informed decisions
- Avoid common mistakes
- Publish with confidence
SELL
Coaching helps you:
- Think strategically about reach and positioning
- Align your book with your broader goals
- Decide what’s worth doing—and what isn’t
You don’t need coaching for everything.
You need it at the moments where clarity matters most.

How Coaching Works
Coaching is offered in structured Zoom sessions, not open-ended commitments.
Sessions focus on:
- Diagnosing the real issue
- Creating a clear next step
- Removing uncertainty
- Helping you move forward immediately
Coaching complements the books, workbooks, and courses on this site.
Think of it as support when you need it, not something you’re locked into.
