Author Accelerator’s premier Book Coach Certification program is changing the lives of book lovers who are ready to start their own remote business building a career they love.

In the Book Coach Certification program, you will:

  • Learn proven tools and strategies for coaching writers developed by multi-six-figure book coach Jennie Nash, whose clients regularly land Big 5 book deals and land on bestseller lists.

  • Learn how to give effective feedback that will transform writers’ books and their creative process.

  • Develop a plan to make money helping writers, using your new skillset.

  • Join a community of certified book coaches with opportunities for coffee chats, networking, referrals, and more

  • Gain the opportunity for continuing education through deep-dive masterclasses and live events.

I am nearly 50% through the program which I am finding extremely useful! I wasn’t sure how much new I would get out of the course as I have had a lot of coaching and editing. But, like most things in life, I’m constantly discovering how much more I have to learn. I am loving the framework you provide for approaching the work, our clients and the business of book coaching. It makes me feel very anchored. Thank you for putting together such a thoughtful, well-presented course.

Our CEO Jennie Nash is an evangelist for book coaching.

She believes 1:1 support is the best way for writers to write books that readers will want to read.

After publishing six books with Big 5 publishers and figuring out how to navigate the constantly changing publishing landscape, Jennie taught in UCLA’s Extension Writer’s Program for 10 years, where a colleague asked for help developing a new book and Jennie’s book coaching career was born. Since then, her coaching clients have landed top New York agents; snagged 5- and 6-figure deals from publishers such as Scribner, Simon & Schuster, Penguin, Norton, Ten Speed, and Hachette; hit the New York Times bestseller list; been chosen for the Reese Witherspoon Book Club; and won dozens of national indie book awards.

At Author Accelerator, she guides certified book coaches to run successful businesses themselves, on a mission to give more writers the support they need to succeed.

In this video she shares more about what book coaching is. If you’d like to watch our full About Book Coaching video series before you enroll, you can check that out here.

Our philosophy stands in opposition to the ‘quick win’ writing service companies that have sprung up on the internet. So many businesses promise writers that they can or should write a book in 90 days or make a bestseller out of their blog posts or game the algorithms to sell books. That’s not what we teach our book coaches to do. Writing good books takes time and having consistent support makes the creative process not only less overwhelming but far more likely to result in a book people want to read.

I finally have a name for the career I’ve always wanted: book coach! The perfect marriage of storytelling and project management. I’ve always been the type to flood my writing friends with advice and resources, and now I can do it for a living. And is it possible to fall even more in love with books?
