Experienced book coaches help authors save time writing their books by allowing authors to tap into their coach’s own experiences. Book coaches also offer group coaching, so authors can share experiences with other authors writing their first book.

Writing is a learned skill. Experienced book coaches provide access to hundreds of tried and proven writing ideas, shortcuts, and tips that can save you time writing your book.

Following are 7 ways book coaches can help you write your book as quickly as possible:

1. Time management. Book coaches can help you find the time to write your book. Your coach can show you how to write your book in a series of short, frequent working sessions and how to use free tools, like online calendars, to better manage your time and deal with with coworker and family responsibilities.
2. Chapter plans. Book coaches can help you simplify your writing task by identifying repeating elements that will appear in each chapter. They may also suggest tips like writing the first and last paragraphs of each chapter, before proceeding to the main text of each chapter.
3. Efficiency shortcuts and tips. Your book coach can also suggest ways to work more efficiently with your existing software by taking more advantage of features like keyboard shortcuts, macros, and text styles. The more your software does, the less you have to do!
4. File management. Book coaches can also help you set up your computer so you can quickly locate the files needed to plan, write, promote, and profit from your book. Creating an appropriate folder and file system can save your hours of wasted time searching for files and make it easier to back-up your work.
5. Research plans. As you and your book coach review your progress on each chapter, your coach can help you identify missing elements, like facts, graphics, and stories, and suggest ways of locating resources for interview or further study.
6. Tracking your progress. Book coaches can help you remain productive by sharing tips and tools for you to track your progress so you feel positive and rewarded while writing your book. The more satisfaction you feel as you complete each working session, the more you’ll look forward to the next session.
7. Writer’s block. Your book coach will help you avoid writer’s block, which can interrupt even the most successful authors. And, if it appears, your book coach will have a portfolio of ideas and tips to help you restore your writing momentum.

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel by writing on your own. You can make faster and smoother progress by tapping into the experiences and expertise of others who have been there before you. Book coaches can help you write your book faster by enjoying access to fresh perspectives and an arsenal of resources, ideas, tips, tools, and worksheets in either 1-on-1 consultations or group webinars.
