Why Use a Writing Coach or Editor

So many non-fiction writers have these kinds of issues:

• Have an idea but cannot get past the rough outline stage to write the book.
• Trying to write several books at once but don’t know which is the right one to do now.
• Perhaps can write proficiently, but need editing help to structure a book, target to the reader, and make it in the right voice.
• Have created lots of blog posts but there is so much work to take the gold nuggets out, get a book model, and theme this… aah!

The first two problems above have a solution, which is book writing coaching. Now, let me save you time. There are supporters who have written a book and got category bestseller on Amazon, then became a writing coach. There are other supporters who are editors and expanded to be a writing coach, as this can help a newer writer struggling with decisions and progress. This is us! Sometimes all you get with a ‘headline act’ book coach is a group call once a month and a question session. This is a start, but it doesn’t help you create a book worth reading! So, whether you use Business Author Academy’s book development coach or not, you would be wise to use an editor who can also teach and support. (If you write fiction, we can refer). Issue three of structuring and targeting is fixed by a structural edit by an accomplished editor. Issue four is solved by a writing support and editing package, called co-writing.  Jennifer and crew takes your original content and finds the theme, adding lots of pieces to make it flow.

Tony got comprehensive editing for a book that, to quote, ‘turned a sow’s ear into a silk purse’

Nicola said: “Having Jennifer’s support in writing my book, despite my lack of experience in this area, proved crucial during the initial months. Her expertise and guidance were invaluable, particularly during the planning stages, where I found assistance to be most essential.” (Book Writing Coaching, 2023)

Susan felt supported. “Jennifer was incredible approachable and available to offer her expertise in editing and preparing my children’s book for publishing.”
