​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​What is a book coach?

​​​​​

According to bookcoachpro.com, a book coach...

​

• Helps you create an outline and road map for your project so you can stick to the goal with as few distractions as possible.

• Assists you in working through challenges that slow down your process.

• Can assist you with structure, voice, and content issues.

• Provides creative feedback and ensures you are on the right track to a solid draft.

• Offers an expert’s eye on your manuscript or document you are creating, helping you fine-tune it when needed.

• Acts as your accountability partner, cheerleader, editor, mentor, teacher, counselor and so much more.

• Guides the writer to reach their writing goals   

​

What is the difference between a book coach and an editor?

​

• Where there are some similarities between the two, as a book coach my role is to help you think through the creation of your book and to lay a solid foundation for how you plan to write it, before you began writing your manuscript, where an editor's role is to serve you after you've completed the writing of your manuscript.                                              

​​​​​​​

​​What part of the book writing process do you offer as a book coach?

​

Before writers begin their manuscripts, I assist writers in laying a firm foundation for the book they ae being called to write by helping them think through their book idea and define the key components needed to write an effective manuscript. I help them develop an outline and roadmap for their project to ensure they are on the right track to writing a solid draft. Once they start the writing process, I serve as an accountability partner and coach, providing guidance and support as they write their manuscript.

​​​​

​What is the book coaching method you use to help me create my book?

​​​​​​

I use the Blueprint for a book method created by Jenny Nash to help you create the foundation for your book and an effective roadmap to write your book. The Blueprint for a Book Method guides you through 14 questions about your book project to help you envision your book by determining what you want to say, who you want to say it to, why you want to say it and how to give it structure and shape. It is a recommended resource to use before beginning the writing process to help you envision your book, so you have a roadmap to write towards.    Source: Author Accelerator.com​​​​

​What type of clients do you serve as a book coach?​​

​

I serve nonfiction Christian kingdom writers who feel called to write from a Christian worldview. These writers aim to use their words to bring light into darkness and draw people into a relationship with Jesus Christ. They understand their responsibility to "equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, so that we will become mature in the Lord" (Ephesians 3:12-13).

​

My clients are called to write for various purposes, including teaching, preaching, informing, entertaining, healing, strengthening, equipping, and encouraging. My own books reflect these goals, and I am passionate about helping aspiring Christian authors who are called to do the same.

​

​​​What type of clients do you not serve?

​

As a Christian nonfiction book coach, I specialize in supporting writers who feel called to create works from a Christian worldview. Therefore, I do not serve writers who are focused on , horror, erotica, dark fantasy, new age, occult themes, explicit content, or LGBTQ+ markets. If your interests align with these genres, I encourage you to seek out a book coach who specializes in your particular area of focus.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​WHY HIRE ME AS YOUR BOOK COACH? HERE'S ONE WRITER'S TESTIMONAL!

​​​​

Hiring a book coach has been very helpful, a step in the right direction to get me off 'dead center" or thereabouts.

What appeared perfectly clear to me needs some more thought.  Jeaninne challenged my approach to developing 

a dual purpose book.  It is making me explore the importance and incorporation of this approach.  I really benefitted from the blueprint exercise.  It helped me to add color to my vision for the book, her sessions with me were very professional and the conversation flowed well.  Her expertise in this area of "book coaching" was evident.   Flora Green
