What the Heck is a "Book Coach"? I see stories the way I see puzzle pieces. Waiting to be assembled into a complete, compelling and professional book, to be presented to an audience. The benefits of writing and publishing a book go way beyond book sales. But for most people, learning how to do it on their own is overwhelming. I help coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs go from just an idea to a compelling book that sells, by offering book editing and coaching services, so you can have a guide to take you from the beginning to “the end”. My goal? To amplify your voice and make sure every single piece of a perfect manuscript is placed in the right spot. As a former sensitivity reader, I specialize in supporting the voices of diverse stories. Stories from the perspective of: - Diverse Sexual Orientations - Gender - Race - Differently abled - Culturally or Ethnically Diverse - Conscious Writers ... and other types of stories from authors whose perspectives aren't often seen, heard or witnessed. I understand that not every story is easy to tell. Some are complicated, and hard to tell. I want to collaborate in helping you develop your book so you can use your story to make a difference in your community.
