Why Hire a Book Coach

We all need a coach. Hemingway had coaches. Stephen King had a coach. Mary Shelley had a coach. Even Joe Bunting, the founder of The Write Practice, had a coach.

You need someone who can point you in the right direction for your unique writing journey, who can tell you what’s working and what’s not working in your writing, and who can help you problem solve on your way to publication.

When you hire a Write Practice certified book coach, here’s what you’ll get:

1. The Write Structure for Your Project

All our coaches are trained in The Write Structure framework and can pinpoint the structural strengths and challenges for your book.

2. Encouraging Feedback

Writing is hard! You need someone who can not only tell you what’s not working in your writing (and how to fix it), but who can tell you what is working and encourage you to keep going. 

3. Accountability

Our coaches know how to provide the accountability you need to stay focused and finish your book. 

4. A Problem Solver

Every book project comes with confusing problems that can be tough to solve on your own. Get someone who knows how books work and can brainstorm solutions to your problems.

5. Someone Who Cares

Writing can feel lonely. There aren’t many people who understand what it’s like to write and publish a book. It’s good to have someone who knows the process, can speak with authority about next steps, and can help point you in the right direction not only for this book, but your entire author career. 

We all need a coach. If you’re ready to find yours, meet our certified book coaches below.

Alicya was amazing to work with! Her meticulous notes she provided for each chapter are very beneficial as I work through this next round of revisions. She read through my novel twice, and that showed as her insight into my plot and characters was spot on! I feel like she truly “got” my story, and so when we discussed various things in the Zoom meeting, it was easy to understand her feedback as well as bounce ideas off of her and work together to improve scenes, characters, etc… A fabulous experience from start to finish. I would absolutely work with Alicya again!

Kyle Cisco is solid, confidence-inspiring, and helpful. He helped answer genre questions I've puzzled over for 20 years, unfortunate questions that held my work's completion hostage.
