Author Accelerator certified book coaches help writers finish their books.

We believe that 1:1 book coaching is the best way to bring a book to life.

Our dedicated community of certified book coaches give editorial feedback, as well as motivate and inspire and give you, the writer, the support you need to stop making excuses and get the work done.

We are on a mission to help serious writers get their books out of their heads and onto the page.

We’d be delighted to help you.

  • Understanding who you can show your work to, and when, is one of the simplest, easiest things you can do to ensure that you will finish your book and finish strong. This worksheet will help you identify who’s in your universe, and who is not.

  • Writing a book is a hard and long, but rewarding, process. This guide walks you through what a typical manuscript goes through to get from idea to finished book, so you can plan for what lies ahead.

I was so thankful for the book coach experience I had, the thoughtful questions that forced me to dig deeper from the beginning, before plot holes developed. I would recommend it to any writer, new or established.
