8/10/2021 0 Comments What is Book Coaching?Do you need book coaching? Is publishing a book on your bucket list? Always wanted to publish a book but feel overwhelmed by the electronic publishing process? Are you also afraid of rejection resulting from submitting your book to a publishing house? Yet, you have a dream to write and experience the exhilaration of becoming a published author. Enter print on demand publishing. This is a form of independent publishing which can make your book available for sales online through Amazon Books. This process is less expensive and time consuming that applying to a traditional publishing house—which is quite a gamble of your resources unless you are famous. Print on demand has changed everything in publishing. Digital printing makes publishing a book doable and affordable for regular people. In fact, with some clever social media support, many people are circumventing the traditional publishing process and becoming best selling authors on their own. Technicalities of Digital Publishing Unless you have already worked in the printing or publishing industry, the technicalities and processes of publishing a book can be overwhelming for the average person. So, this is where book coaching comes in. A good book coach can walk you through the process, guiding and providing services necessary to create an accurate and printable book file. Book coaching will teach you how to navigate through the print on demand systems and the construction of a book in proper order. Book Coach and Book BlueprintPublish Your Book Blueprint in a Week, authored by Deborah S. Nelson, Book Coach, gives you the steps to construct a book. First and foremost, a book includes the manuscript body. However, you will also need other elements such as the front and back matter. Front matter encompasses title pages, copyright pages, dedication, acknowledgements, Table of Contents, and more. One of the most important tools in book coaching is the aforementioned Publish Your Book Blueprint in a Week. This workbook helps build the construction of your book and includes all front and back matter descriptions and foundations. The back matter includes the index, resources, endnotes, ads for your services, about the author, and more. Establish a clear understanding of all pieces involved in publishing a book aside from your manuscript body. Book Coaching Overcomes Obstacles Publishing a book on your own is a big undertaking. I compare it to doing a house remodel or having a baby. This is a long, complicated process and you will likely need to hire subcontractors. A good book coach will teach and guide you. Furthermore, if your time is limited, a book coach can do the publishing for you—called ghost publishing. However, you will need to make decisions all along the way to make the best book possible. If you use book coaching you can avoid costly mistakes such as the frustration of redoing digital files over and over again. A good book coach can save you the same amount of money that you paid them at least—as well as get the job done right.
