12 Essential Books for Book Coaches

It’s not a list of great books about writing

The list does not contain books about the craft of writing or the practice of writing or how to structure your novel or develop a book proposal. That’s because I bet you already have all of those writing books, and book coaching is a different skill than writing. 

It’s a list of some of the books that have helped me to understand the art and the business of coaching a writer through the process of writing a book. I explain how each book connects to the work of being a book coach, and share some of the most powerful quotes from them.

We have an incredible community of book coaches who are dedicated to the work, to each other, and to the idea of writing better books. We’d love to have you join us.”
