A Book Coach Can Help You Get Your Book Done

You may have heard the terms personal coach, life coach, business coach, or book coach. Today, there are all kinds of coaches to help with whatever it is that you might need. Busy professionals who want to save time and money often seek out experts who can help them more efficiently achieve their goals, rather than do it on their own.

As a book coach, I work with authors from conception of their book idea to the successful publication and marketing of high-quality print books and e-books. 

Our first step is to create a complete Book Plan together where I guide clients through each stage of publishing a book using my Self-Publisher’s Book Plan.

I wrote Self-Publisher’s Book Plan to explain and simplify book publishing basics for writers and entrepreneurs who are new to publishing, to offer the best resources currently available on self-publishing, and to save you time in the process through a step-by-step action plan called the Self-Publisher’s Book Plan. 

The concept is similar to a traditional business plan for entrepreneurs, but geared specifically for writers who will soon become “authorpreneurs” once they embark on the self-publishing path. 

 What Specific Problems Am I Solving as Your Coach?

• Too much Information 

Working with the Self-Publishers Book Plan simplifies the book publishing process, especially for professionals and business owners who are new to it. Too many how-to books on publishing and too many websites overwhelm would-be publishers with information that does not apply to them. How do you determine which path is right for you?

As your book coach, I help you determine the right publishing options for your specific book, including its genre and market position. 

• Publishing a book is too expensive

Luckily, there are many ways to publish a book. I can explain your options so you make the best choices for your individual project. There are different ways to get your work out there while still keeping within your budget. 

• Where do I get help?

Self-publishing a book is not something you have to do alone. Publishing is ultimately a collaborative endeavor where you can—and should—rely on experts to perform some of the tasks. I will show you when and how to find the right professionals to help you complete your project.

• I’ve never done this before

When you follow the customized plan we create together, there are no surprises to derail your project. I can guide you in how to publish your book using your own customized Action Plans at your own pace and in a way that reflects your own personal style. 

All the steps—from completing your manuscript to published book—are laid out in the order in which they should be executed. 

 What Are The Benefits I Am Offering My Clients?

• You Save Money: When you create a Book Plan in advance, you avoid costly mistakes by working with proven methods and real cost estimates to publish the best book possible, within your budget.

• You Save Time: I have saved you hours of research and vetting services by compiling all the resources you’ll need in one place

• You Feel Confident in All Your Actions: There’s no second-guessing, no confusion when you take action. When you create a complete plan in advance, you have total control and confidence in your direction. SPBP includes four Comprehensive Stages that lead you from rough draft to your completed, published book.

The biggest advantage of working with me as your coach is creating a detailed plan — in advance — that will keep your project on track.

As a coach I know that trust has to be earned. And as our sessions progress, I hope to earn your trust and will greatly value your feedback at each step of the process. Everything that we discuss is held in confidence.
