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 book writing coaches, editors and publishing experts in other genres, including children's books, novels, cookbooks, memoirs and more.
