What Does a Book Coach Actually Do — And Do I Need One?

The first time most people hear 'book coach,' they picture someone sitting next to them with a red pen and a disappointed expression. That's not a book coach. A real book coach is the person who walks beside you while you build your book yourself — making sure the foundation is solid, the structure holds, and the whole thing doesn't collapse on page forty-three. Here's what the job actually looks like, and how to know if it's what your book needs.
Most authors take years. Every Word Magic client finishes a complete draft manuscript in 90 days. Here's exactly how — and why the method works when everything else hasn't.

The 90-Day Book: How Every Word Magic Client Finishes a Complete Draft Manuscript

Let me tell you what most book writing advice gets catastrophically wrong. It treats writing a book as a discipline problem. A motivation problem. A time management problem. But for every Storykeeper I've worked with in thirty years — every founder, every leader, every person sitting on decades of lived and earned wisdom — the real problem has never been discipline. It's been structure. The 90-Day Book is what happens when you finally have the right one.

How to Find the Right Ghostwriter for Your Memoir or Business Book

After thirty years as a ghostwriter, including four New York Times bestselling collaborations, I can tell you that the price range isn't the confusing part. It's knowing what questions to ask. Here's exactly what to look for, what to avoid, and how to find the right person for your specific book.
