Begin your second act and craft your novel with Nancy Clements, an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach®.
Writing a book is a dream many hold close to their hearts, especially those embarking on writing as a second career. With years of wisdom and a lifetime of experiences to draw upon, you have a unique story to tell—your second act. But knowing how to write a book, where to start, what to include or leave out, and most importantly, how to stay motivated can be daunting. That’s where a book coach can help.
What's a book coach?
A book coach who is someone who guides the writer from start to finish, helping them through that long journey.
A book coach will ask tough questions to get the writer to think…what does your main character want? Why do they want it? What is their misbelief and how does that shape their identity? And what’s the point of the story?
A book coach is the one that sticks to a process and holds the writer accountable.
And finally, a book coach can help the writer through the query process, ready to lend a helping hand and offer support every step of the way.
Why hire a book coach?
Because you’re ready to finally write the book you’ve always wanted to write and need help developing your book concept and structure.
Or perhaps you have no idea where to start and need guidance on those very first steps.
A book coach will provide the step-by-step instruction necessary to turn your ideas into a cohesive and compelling narrative.
Start your second act like these authors did
Harper Lee was in Law School and then wrote
To Kill a Mockingbird
Khaled Hosseini was a practicing doctor while he wrote
The Kite Runner
Fyodor Dostoyevsky was an engineer and then wrote
Crime and Punishment
I have no way of knowing if you’re capable of writing one of the greatest works of literature like Dostoyevsky
or a book that still has relevance long after it was written like Lee,
But you’ll never know until you try.

Nancy is an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach.
As an Author Accelerator certified book coach, my specialty is helping writers who have dreamed of being an author but have commitments that have up to this point taken precedence. As a writer who learned the craft of writing while holding a day job, I struggled for years to find the time and the right technique to plan and write the novel I always dreamed of writing. Now that I’ve found it, I want to share it with other aspiring writers.
