What Is Book Coaching?

Book coaching, also called author coaching, can involve a wide range of services. It can encompass the entire book writing process, including idea development, project management, editing and proofreading, query letters, and publishing. Author and coach work out the relationship between them to be whatever each needs or wants it to be.

If this is a topic that interests you or you are thinking about adding this service to your business, attend this panel discussion and Q&A with PEN members Miranda Darrow, Catherine Lundoff, and Linda Ruggeri, who all offer author coaching among their services.
