Why a Book Writing Coach?
![book coach Lisa Tener book coach Lisa Tener](https://jodieburdette.net/lisatener/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/lisa-tener-leaning-on-books-opt.jpg)
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 & health).
- 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, fiction/novels, cookbooks, memoirs and more.
