    “Before I became a book coach, I worked in the surf industry as a product manager for both men’s and women’s apparel. I was making good money, but the hours were long, and I wasn’t fulfilled. This little voice inside of me kept telling me that I was meant for more and that this wasn’t where I belonged.”

    The best book coaches are people just like you

    Hi I’m Jennie, founder and CEO of Author Accelerator

    We are in the business of helping book coaches level up their editorial and entrepreneurial skills so they can give writers a fighting chance in this crazy marketplace. We know the kinds of people who become great book coaches. . .

    It’s not necessarily people who have had massive success as writers themselves.*

    It’s not necessarily people who have secured agents, book deals, degrees, or awards, or who have ever run a business before**

    It’s not necessarily people who know how to engage millions on TikTok with a book-ish dance.***

    It’s people who could spend all day talking about books, who get excited by the idea of lifting up other writers, and who are ready to be in charge of their time, their money, and their work life. In other words, it’s people who finally listened to their heart.

    Does this sound like work you want to do? Sign up for our upcoming webinar and while you’re waiting, check out our FAQ book coaching videos:

    * If this is you, you will have an advantage in marketplace intelligence.

    ** If this is you, you will be able to build on your experience to help other writers succeed.

    *** If this is you, you probably don’t need anything we can teach!

    “I was an English major who didn’t realize the world valued what I had to offer. An ability to inspire writers to do their best work? To keep them on track so they actually finished their books? To understand the nuances of how to structure a story or a nonfiction narrative and make it sing? When I turned my gifts for helping writers into a multiple-six-figure business, I finally began to believe it. Now my mission is to help other people with these gifts believe it too.”
