There's a new job in the gig economy.
It's perfect for people who love to read, who love the challenge of capturing ideas on the page, and who feel they can inspire other writers to do their best work.
It's called book coaching – and we'll teach you everything you need to know to learn how to do it and build a book-coaching business.
The first step is to join our FREE Business of Book Coaching Summit!
We're teaming up with top experts to bring a week of free programming to writers, editors, MFA grads, English teachers, and librarians interested in learning about book coaching as a side hustle or a full-time job. The Business of Book Coaching Summit will be held January 20-24, 2020.
“Book coaching gives writers editorial feedback, emotional support, project management, and a sense of boundless possibility,” says Jennie Nash, Author Accelerator founder and CEO. “It’s the best way to learn how to write a book, and turns out to be a fantastic job for people who love writers and writing. The Summit is a way for us to show people who want to be book coaches what it’s all about, and to help those already doing the work to level up their business.”
