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.

Kyle was both sympathetic and clear in his Manuscript Critique and pointed me to the main things that needed to be fixed in my second draft. Super helpful.

John and I had a few technology problems this morning but over the past few meetings that I have had with him I have found him to be both very encouraging as well as very, very helpful in the ideas he gives me and how to fix problems in my writing that I struggle with. So overall it has been wonderful to work with John and I really appreciate everything he is doing to help me with my writing.

Alice's insights were a revelation. She not only helped me to understand my story better, she set out a clear plan to help me achieve the improvements we agreed on. She listened carefully to my ham-fisted attempts at explaining my story, then pulled it all together in a way that made it so clear. By the end of the process, this first-time author had a clear understanding of the book's strengths and weaknesses – and mine – and I felt energised for my next draft. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Alice again.

Kyle was very thorough in his critique of my manuscript. He offered some intriguing insights into my story that I hope to explore more after they sink in. He was open to my questions and his feedback will help me prepare for my next draft.
