What is an author coach and how much do they cost?

An author coach is the person who has got your back when it comes to supporting you at every step of your author journey. From getting you out of the researching rut, through the various challenges of motivation, inspiration and persistence, to crossing the finishing line of publication and promotion.

Many will have heard of a writing coach, someone who helps you improve your writing. Some may have heard about a book coach, which is someone who helps you understand the book writing process, but an author coach does all that – and MORE!

Ideally, you want an author coach who is an avid writer, author and a publisher. Someone who is also a proven entrepreneur is also necessary to guide you through the business side of things. You will also want your author coach to be an insatiable reader and someone who has studied literature – in fact it should be a pre-requisite.

Why?

Because in today’s world there are “author coaches” and “publishers” popping up everywhere, many who have no experience of writing a book themselves, zero study of the art of literature, and very little experience in both business and publishing. 

The fees you can expect to pay will vary depending on factors such as the experience, services offered, and level of involvement. Fees can range from as little as £50 per hour to more than £500 per hour, and you will get what you pay for.

If you are unable to pay for an author coach on a monthly basis, then consider booking 1-off sessions with a coach such as Dawn, who will give you as much help as she possibly can within the time allocated to your calls.

As someone who loves to study, and wants to help as many authors as possible, Dawn created her signature self-study 7-Week Author Course because she knows that writers often need a lot of support, but do not have the funds to work with someone on a 1:1 basis. You will find that the 7 different modules that make up the 7-Week Author Course, can also be purchased one module at a time, as well as in a full 7-Week programme of self-study, an online group programme, as well as available in person at locations around the world.
