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.

Yes, I would work with this coach again!
Sue Hacking is an extraordinary writing coach. During her tutelage, I transformed from a writer to a poet. I spontaneously read one of my poets to Sue, and her response was, “You are a poet; that is where your energy is.” Much to my surprise, she was correct. I found my voice and planted my flag. My self-confidence soared. She will always be my ‘Writing Changemaster.' Truly a GOD sighting or some may say a miracle.
I highly recommend Sue Hacking, the writing coach. She is not only clear and concise in her verbal skills but her written comments are right on and understandable.

John has been a big help so far, and I look forward to working with him for the next few weeks as I sort out the difficulties I’m facing in my project. I appreciate his encouragement and support.

Sue is an awesome writing coach. She was present and listened with the ears of her heart. Working with Sue has been a turning point in my writing career. As a person new to creative narrative I was fragile and vulnerable but bold. Hiring Sue as a writing coach was BOLD but one of my best decision in 2024. My writing has improved as well as my confidence. I do also want to thank THE WRITE PRACTICE for all your hard work to help us writers become better with our writing craft and to open our hearts and minds wider. THX
