Why a Book Writing Coach?

A book writing coach is different from a writing coach or editor. A writing coach focuses on all kinds of writing, as well as writing habits to help you be productive. An editor provides feedback and guidance on your writing. A book writing coach, like Lisa Tener can guide and help you to:
- Write an exceptional nonfiction book (especially self-help, how-to, business & more).
- Break through writing blocks.
- Access your creativity to write powerfully.
- Develop the habits of a productive writer who starts and finishes their work.
- Write a book proposal to attract a publisher.
- Edit your book proposal and, when appropriate, Lisa can contact agents or publishers on your behalf.
- Decide among several publishers or agents should you get multiple offers.
- Grow your author platform to meet publishers' and agents' requirements.
Lisa also provides referrals to excellent book writing coaches, editors, ghostwriters and publishing experts in many genres, including business, self-help, how-to, children's books, novels, cookbooks, memoirs and more.
