Aspiring Writer to Published Author with the Write Coach
When you work with a Write Practice certified book coach, you’ll get the knowledge, feedback, and encouragement they need to become published authors and accomplish their writing goals.
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!
So far in the 100 Day Book program, John has provided plenty of encouragement and support and has helped me stay motivated to keep working on my project. His suggestions and feedback have been very helpful, and I'm looking forward to our continued work over the next couple of months.

I felt excited to have a coach as this was my first time. Having to report on my progress and discussing my manuscript really fired me up. Kyle was (and is) very supportive and positive, and I have already asked him to take my manuscript under his competent wings.

I really enjoyed talking with Kallista Ann. She helped me see my writing process from a different angle and gave me some great new ideas to try.
