Author Coaching

Author CoachingAlso known as a writing coach, an author coach helps you get your words onto the page and up to a publishable standard. Approaches can vary. Some coaches can assist you in tackling writer's block, procrastination, lack of discipline, and so on. Others work with you to improve the quality of your writing. Still others do all of the above. Talking to a coach can help you determine the type of assistance you need.
