At one of the two conferences I attended last month, one of the questions I got was: what is a book coach? Which is the perfect question for a podcast episode.

In this episode:

- a newly published book by one of my clients!

- the meetup I hosted on authors & publishing at the Alt Summit conference last month

- realizing that I haven’t talked about what a book coach is on this podcast

- certification for book coaches, and why I’m not certified or think it’s necessary

- an overview of my 20+ career history from my first job out of college to starting my business in 2020

- a big part of the way that I work as a book coach & an inside joke for WWJD with my clients

- my take on how coaching is different from editing: not all coaches are editors & not all editors are coaches

- the difference between book coaches, writing coaches, and author coaches

- what exactly a book coach can help you with, and when to engage one

- tune in next week for more on managing health & energy, regardless of what it is you’re doing, whether it’s traveling and attending conferences or your every day creative work
