A consultant is someone you might have used if you are a company owner or have worked in corporate management. Consultants are people who have extensive knowledge of a specific industry or an area of the industry and can help professionals streamline their goals and be more productive. useful reference
An Author Coach acts as a consultant to writers. An Author Coach is someone who has extensive experience in publishing and writing, and can help authors achieve their goals.
But why would someone want to use an Author Coach? What could they gain from the experience?
The truth is that most freelance writers and editors offer two services: Writing & Editing. They are both excellent, but what do you say to the writers who want the work done themselves? They want to keep their style and voice intact, without being influenced by editors or copywriters.
It is understandable that we all have our preferred writing methods and this can lead to a problem of "too many cooks". An Author Coach assists an aspiring author in their development without giving any actual assistance. She may offer suggestions and look at work, but she doesn't make any modifications. useful reference
The Author Coach will answer all your questions. The publishing and writing worlds have been very quiet over the years. Successful authors and freelancers have been mum when it comes time to give newbies the help they need. I feel the same way to some extent. I learned it on my own and my knowledge is based on experience. However, an Author Coach can impart much-needed advice.
Author Coaching can be expensive. Prices from varying Author Coaches on the Internet vary between $100 and $500 per hour.
The good news is that it's often a one-time investment, and you might get a freebie thrown in for good measure. For example, I offer a free manuscript critique with the price of an Author Coaching session. Lisa Taylor Huff, Author Freelancer offers a complimentary e-book. Brian Wesling, Author Coach offers a free subscription.
It is now up to you to decide if Author Coaching is right for your needs. It can be hard to know if Author Coaching is right for you unless you have a list of questions that need answering or guidance that you are seeking. What have been your biggest concerns about your writing career so far?
It is not a good idea to pay for author coaching if you don't have the answers to your questions immediately. Is it possible to have an Author Coach assist you in becoming more successful? Or to acquire a publishing contract? Before you reach out for external assistance, be clear about your goals.
Send an e-mail to the Author Coaching if you have a manuscript. To ensure that the advice you receive is tailored to your specific situation, give him or her a chance to review it. You might consider writing an article, story, or essay for the Coaching session if you don't have a manuscript. You will give your Author Coach a basic idea about your talent, skills, and expertise.
I would recommend that you get a list from satisfied clients before considering Author Coaching. This will help to confirm the Coach's knowledge. Before you pay for Author Coaching, I recommend reading articles, books and e-books to find the answers to your questions.
