A dedicated and professional book coach trained and certified in our premier Book Coach Certification program, developed by Author Accelerator founder and CEO Jennie Nash. All of our coaches have been trained and certified on the editorial feedback system that Jennie developed, and stand on their ability to edit for mechanics, content, and flow, as well as their project-management skills and compassion toward writers.

It depends on where you are on your writing journey and what your goals are. Our certified coaches offer programs to help you at any stage – whether you're just starting out, stuck in the middle, or ready to pursue publication. If you'd like to work with a coach, click the GET MATCHED button in the top right corner and tell us about your project so that we can match you with a certified book coach.

We do not offer refunds on the fee for being matched with a coach.

We offer discretionary 7-day refunds on our online courses.

All of our coaches operate independent businesses and their refund policies vary.

Every professional editor works on the assumption that the writer owns the execution of their ideas. To do otherwise would be reckless and unconscionable. Copyright does not protect an idea, though; it protects the execution of that idea. A thousand writers could be writing about Abraham Lincoln or the zombie apocalypse or a haunted bullet train, but each of their stories would be different. So you can never really say that someone stole an idea, or used your idea. You can, of course, argue if someone literally steals your executed pages — and published writers report this as a problem with pirated material — but that is a very different thing than protecting an idea. No member of the Author Accelerator staff will ever use the execution of another writer's idea in any capacity without consent.
