Author coaching, training and programmes
Accountability coaching
Darren Finkelstein is the author of three bestselling, award-winning books, so he knows how hard it is to complete a manuscript and submit it on schedule. So, in conjunction with Andrew and Michael, Darren has developed an author accountability package. This is designed for: authors who would like to have extra accountability to help complete their manuscript on time; authors who have made a good start but who have lost their way and are struggling to finish their manuscript; and authors who know they have a great book idea but are really struggling to find the time or the discipline to write.
Together, we will set deadlines and confirm the road ahead. Darren and his team will be on your case to regularly check in on your progress and drive you hard towards completion.
Each session you’ll know what needs to be done before the next session and how you’ll do it, and Darren will hold you to account to make sure you’re on target. In the end, your final manuscript will be finished and ready for publishing.
Each session is up to 60 minutes long using either Zoom or Skype, and you will have three sessions to finish your specific writing project meet your publishing schedule. Alternatively, we can easily modify the standard program by adding additional sessions to suit your needs and schedule.
Benefits of a self-publishing coach
If you’re thinking about self-publishing your book, you might want to consider working with a publishing coach. A publishing coach can help you navigate the publishing process from editing and design, to putting your book on shelves. They can also provide valuable insights into the self-publishing industry, and help by sharing their experiences.
Whether you’re a first-time author or a seasoned pro, a publishing coach can make all the difference. So if you’re serious about self-publishing, don’t go it alone – invest in a publishing coach and watch your book reach its full potential.
