Certified Coaches’ Community FAQs

  • Tier 1 is designed to give certified coaches the opportunity to connect with their fellow certified coaches in a variety of ways, use Author Accelerator’s tools and resources in their work with writers, and get client referrals through our public coach directory and through peer referrals.

    Tier 2 is an extension of Tier 1. It includes everything in Tier 1 and is designed for coaches who are actively working to launch or grow their business. Tier 2 offers coaches business guidance, accountability, and learning and teaching opportunities that are not available in Tier 1. Tier 2 is where you will get training and support from the Author Accelerator team, including from CEO Jennie Nash.

    Master classes are available to all certified coaches for additional fees.

  • Yes! We expect that most certified coaches will cycle through Tiers 1 and 2 throughout their coaching journey as their business needs change. Coaches may switch tiers at any time.

  • Tier 1 is $15 USD/month and is billed monthly. This is the baseline level needed to maintain your Book Coach Certification.

    Tier 2 is $50 USD/month and is billed monthly.

    Coaches may be enrolled in only one tier at a time. If you move to a new tier, your existing tier payment plan will be cancelled and replaced with the new tier payment plan. Please keep in mind that we cannot offer refunds or prorated rates for mid-cycle changes.

  • No. We cannot guarantee that a coach will get any clients from the public coach directory. Our goal is to teach you how to become a book coach and run your own successful book coaching businesses. Your results will depend on your own efforts.

  • We recommend that a newly certified coach start out in Tier 1. After they complete the Business Start Up Kit, and start getting clients, they can move into Tier 2 for more support.

    We expect that most certified coaches will remain in Tier 2, but if a coach joins another business community or mastermind and wants to dial down the support they get from us, they can move back to Tier 1. Coaches may switch tiers at any time.

  • Membership in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 is required to retain Author Accelerator Book Coach Certification. If a coach decides not to join the Community, or decides to leave the Community, we will wish them well and cheer them on, but they will not be authorized to advertise themselves as an Author Accelerator certified book coach and will lose all privileges of the Community.

  • No. Our Certified Coaches’ Community is only available to book coaches who have been certified through our Book Coach Certification program.

  • Join Tier 1 if you are:

    • A newly certified coach who is taking their first steps to building their business, and who doesn’t feel they ready to take advantage of the business support offered in Tier 2.

    • A seasoned certified coach who doesn’t need the business support offered in Tier 2, but who wants to be engaged in a community of like-minded book coaches as they run their businesses and strive to hit new goals. These coaches may be involved in non-Author Accelerator business masterminds or programs.

    Join Tier 2 if you are:

    • A newly certified coach who is ready to actively grow their business.

    • A seasoned certified coach who wants ongoing support and education as they grow their business.

    Remember that you may switch tiers at any time.

    Master classes are available to certified coaches in either tier.
