We’re here today with Jennie Nash, book coach and founder/CEO of Author Accelerator. Jennie has spent more than 30 years in the publishing industry. With 9 books under her belt, and more than a decade coaching bestselling authors like Lisa Cron and KJ Dell’Antonia, she definitely knows what she’s talking about from both sides of the desk.
Jennie’s latest book, Read Books All Day and Get Paid For It, about the book coaching industry, came out in January. She sat down with us this week to talk book coaching — why you should get one, when to know you’re ready, and how she works with her clients — and we also ended up getting a little mini-coaching ourselves. We hope you love listening as much as we loved talking to Jennie!
You can find Jennie online at jennienash.com or authoraccelerator.com. If you’re interested in what’s probably her most famous tool, the Inside Outline, head to authoraccelerator.com/marginally.
