Hire a Professional Book Coach to Finish Your Manuscript
Transforming a great idea into a completed book is a massive undertaking. It’s incredibly common for aspiring authors to lose momentum, get tangled up in plot holes, or struggle to find the time to write.
If you’re tired of staring at a half-finished draft, the fastest way to bridge the gap between writer and published author is to hire a book coach.
At BeWrit, our tailored book writing coach services give you the exact structure, expert guidance, and objective manuscript feedback you need to stay accountable and push your project across the finish line.
Whether you are an aspiring author-preneur crafting a business book or a creative writer shaping your first novel, you don’t have to navigate the publishing industry alone.
Why Work With a Book Writing Coach?
Writing a book is a solitary journey, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Many brilliant storytellers and industry experts never finish their manuscripts because they lack a clear roadmap or objective feedback. When you partner with a professional book coach, you turn creative overwhelm into a step-by-step action plan.
Working with a book writing coach helps you:
- Overcome Writer’s Block: Break through creative walls with targeted writing exercises, real-time brainstorming, and structured goal-setting.
- Maintain Strict Accountability: Eliminate procrastination and build a sustainable routine using structural milestones designed to double your writing output.
- Develop Structural Mastery: Ensure your pacing, plot arcs, character development, or nonfiction chapters are engaging and logically organized from chapter one.
- Navigate Publishing Stages and Industry Options: Receive expert guidance on whether your manuscript is best suited for traditional publishing or self-publishing paths, and all the steps along the way.

How Does the Coaching Process Work?
You have two options: pay-as-you-go or a monthly package.
Pay-As-You-Go
The pay-as-you-go plan is billed hourly and at the end of each week. What we focus on during those hours is entirely up to you!
We can talk about anything related to your writing, from figuring out whether self-publishing or traditional publishing is best for your book to the perfect website copy for your project. Feel free to vent about your fears and concerns if that’s what you need.
For example, you might be looking for:
- Accountability
- Creating goals and deadlines for yourself
- Creating a social media strategy
- Story development
- Character development
- Dialogue flow
- Concept and structure work
- Formatting logistics (eBooks)
- Finding an agent or publisher
- Research on books similar to your idea
- Putting together a book proposal
- Building an author/book platform
- Developing a promotion plan for success
- Challenges/roadblocks you’re facing
- Feedback and pep talks
- Or just writing advice!
Monthly Packages
Monthly packages save you money if you’re committed to a long-term project. You can pay for your coaching membership one of two ways:
- One-time, upfront payment: A single payment due on the 1st of every month. This option offers the most discounted rates.
- Two payments: Break up your payment into smaller, biweekly payments due on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Book coaching packages are also totally customizable! You can select a package tier from the options below or reach out to discuss a package tailored to your exact needs.

- Manuscript evaluation: With Tiers 2 & 3, you’ll receive a written review and critique of your project. This is when we’ll assess and discuss any necessary changes to your story.
- Editing: Only available to VIP members, developmental editing is designed to help focus on the big-picture stuff in your story. Unlike some editors, I believe that focusing on a book’s development can never start too soon.

Add-On Services
Your needs may vary depending on your story, so with the coaching packages above, you can also add on services.
Extras can include:
- Fact-checking: Before you submit your work, the final editing stages should include a fact-check to ensure all quotes and information are accurate.
- Organization: Editing sometimes requires reorganizing. This is where I move paragraphs and sentences around to improve the story’s flow or comprehension.
- Formatting: Whether you publish in print or e-formats, your manuscript must be formatted before publication. I might remove line breaks and extra spaces, or rearrange centered blocks of text.
- Copyright: I can obtain a copyright for your book, but you cover the cost. Electronic registration is $55, and the filing fee for a single work by one author is $35.
- Images: Any images, including stock content, may incur an extra charge.
- Ghostwriting: Rewriting, writing small sections, or extensively filling in scenes starts at an extra $1 per word, depending on your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Book Writing Coach
Get the answers you’re looking for, right here, right now.
1. What is the difference between a book editor and a book coach?
A book editor typically works on a completed or partially written manuscript to fix mechanics, flow, syntax, and plot holes. A writing coach for authors works with you during the creative process. Your coach helps you plan, write, and stay accountable from your initial outline all the way to a finished first draft.
If you think an editor is a better fit for your needs, I also offer book editing services.
2. How long does a book coaching program take?
The timeline depends entirely on your project’s scope, your writing speed, and your goals.
Most authors work with a book coach for 3-6 months to establish a strong routine and finish a major section of their book, while others maintain a coaching relationship for a year or more to complete a full, substantial manuscript draft.
3. Do I need a complete outline before hiring a coach?
Not at all. Many authors reach out when they only have a loose concept, a messy pile of notes, or a few disjointed chapters. Your coach will help you organize your ideas, find your target audience, and build a cohesive structural outline before you dive deep into writing.
4. Can a book coach help me get published?
Short answer: yes. With emphasis on the word help.
While a coach can’t guarantee a publishing contract or literary agent representation, they heavily increase your chances of success. Your coach ensures your manuscript meets professional industry standards, aligns with market expectations, and is polished enough to catch the attention of agents and publishers.
5. What type of books do I work on?
My experience includes short stories, picture books (for children and adults), and both fiction and non-fiction books. The books I work on tend to center around one thing: life.
Genre-wise, I have experience in:
- Health & Wellbeing
- Self-help & Self-improvement
- Writing & Publishing
- Short Story
- Picture Books
- Historical Fiction
- Mystery & Crime
- Psychological Thriller
- Thriller & Suspense
- Biographies & Memoirs
- Comics & Graphic Novels
- DIY & Crafts
- Home & Garden
- Nature
- New Age
- Coming of Age
- Women’s Fiction
- Chick Lit
Writing is hard, but it doesn’t have to be.
