Why hire a book coach? Maybe you’re ready to finally write your book and you need help developing your book concept and structure. Or you have no idea where on earth to start and you figure a book writing or publishing coach can guide you on those very first steps.

Maybe, in addition to expert guidance, you need accountability and support to get it done. And perhaps you also want help accessing your inner muse, your creative source…

You came to the right place!

Some clients also need guidance in making the right publishing decision: “Do I self publish or do I have a chance at a traditional book deal?” Your book writing coach can help you weigh the pros and cons of each type of publishing, particularly for the book you want to write.

And a book coach (at least, this book coach) can help you understand what it would take for you to attract a book deal and whether your book is a likely candidate.

“The Goddess of Voice”

Cathy Turney receives her Stevie Award for Business Book of the Year

I call book writing coach Lisa Tener ‘the Goddess of Voice.’ She’s magical! Lisa wrapped her brilliant mind around my book (Laugh Your Way to Real Estate Sales Success), resulting in its winning the American Business Awards Best Business Book of the Year 2015, nationally and internationally. I didn’t think twice about hiring her to coach my next book, Get 10,000 Twitter Followers – Easily, Quickly, Ethically. 

Cathy Turney’s latest book

I had interviewed six other book writing coaches at the San Francisco Writers Conference, and in 15 minutes Lisa had more insight into what I was trying to accomplish than the other five combined. With Lisa Tener you get the eyes of a master book writing coach on your manuscript—one with proven results with the Big Six publishers. Your book only gets one chance to become a top seller. Don’t risk it. Let Lisa Tener make it the best it can be.
