Coaching Services for Aspiring Authors

Our author coaching program is presented in three sequential phases: 1) the initial evaluation and consultation, 2) refinement of your manuscript and submission to publishers, and 3) mediating contract negotiations and post-publication book promotion coaching.

The coaching process starts when you agree to work with us and ends when either of us determines the service is no longer warranted. We don't require a signed contract, nor do we require you to commit to using our services for future book projects. Instead, as long as you have benefited from the process and we have earned your trust, we welcome the opportunity to further develop your writing ministry. Click the pop-up links below to learn more about the three phases.

PHASE ONE: Manuscript Evaluation & Initial Consultation
Your manuscript evaluation and initial consultation is the first phase of our coaching program. During this phase we provide a professional evaluation of your manuscript and its publishing potential. This phase is highlighted by a 90-minute consultation call in which we outline the necessary work your manuscript may need to be successfully published. Click to read more in a pop-up window.

PHASE TWO: Manuscript Refinement & Publisher Submission
 The second phase of our coaching program includes the necessary phone calls and emails to walk you through the specific steps needed to refine your material prior to publication. We then present your manuscript to interested publishers. We can also help you map out a strategic plan to develop future books compatible with your ministry focus and help improve the marketability of your titles. Click to read more in a pop-up window.

PHASE THREE: Contract Mediation & Promotion Launch
The third phase of our coaching program provides mediation between you and a publisher during contract negotiations. During this phase, we not only provide a buffer between you and the publisher, we highlight the selling points and worthiness of your manuscript. Following a successful contract signing, we provide valuable insights to help you launch your promotion campaign. Click to read more in a pop-up window.
