What does a writing coach do?

After talking with you on the phone, online or in person, a writing coach helps you fully develop your ideas and make that first outline. This saves you from getting bogged down in all the details. If you’re missing points of interest to readers, the writing coach will catch these gaps too. The style and tone of your writing will be assessed. Empowered by the coach’s insights, you’ll decide the best approach for your project.

Do I need a writing coach?

If you find yourself struggling to get organized or put your ideas into words, then you need a writing coach to get past roadblocks. There’s also the situation when you write plenty of words but feel that it’s dull or just not saying what you meant. Again, you need a writing coach to give you feedback about your problem areas. Your writing coach will improve your writing across the board.

How can a writing coach help me?

The writing coach will save you precious time no matter what you need get written. Writing is a complex process on just a technical level. Then there’s the necessity of making sure readers actually understand what you wrote.

A really important thing that the coach does for you is set up a schedule. When you’re writing it’s best to set goals for completing the stages, like outlining, drafting, revising and completion. The coach won’t let you procrastinate.

"You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you have something to say." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

With coaching you’ll avoid many pitfalls like:

  • Procrastination
  • Poor organization
  • Spotty research
  • Clunky writing that lacks flow
  • Quitting
  • Rambling filler
  • Dragging prose
  • Dull copy

When you’re making progress instead of scratching your head over a blank page, you’ll come to like your writing. Progress teaches you more than frustration, and that’s exactly the gift a writing coach will give you.

Five great reasons to hire a writing coach

  1. Avoid getting hung up trying to decide where to even begin. Your writing coach will help you make a decision and go with it.
  2. Spot your weak areas right away and fix them before you have a long manuscript full of errors. There’s nothing so daunting as finishing that report or story and having to do it completely over.
  3. Create the strongest message you can the first time whether it’s a sales letter or a novel.
  4. Make the most of your writing talents. Good writers are always pushing themselves to become great.
  5. Save time and money with a writing coach instead of paying for extensive editing after you’ve written something with no guidance or support.
