Thank you to Author Accelerator for sending me a copy of this book for review.
The title is a bit misleading. Thankfully, Nash is VERY CLEAR early in the book that this is not a book to teach you how to be a book coach. Rather, she can sell you a course for that. This is a book about the business aspects of book coaching; how to set your prices, what kind of author to sell your services to, etc. This book is probably better served as another course in conjunction with her how to book coach course.

Jennie Nash's advice is a comprehensive guide on how to start a business as a book coach. She explains what not to do along side what to do to launch a book coaching buisness. (Or how to pivot if you've already started one and it's not as successful as you'd like it to be.) She offers suggestions on how to respond to clients in any given scenario, how to decide what services to offer, how to market your business, where to start with pricing and when to adjust your pricing the more experience you gain. Plus, she throws in additional resources from podcasts to other book suggestions. Follow her advice step by step and before you know it, you'll be in business.

There are some great tidbits in here, but I felt slightly misled. There is nothing in the synopsis (and nothing on the cover) that would make me think this was only about how to run the logistics of a coaching business. It isn't about how to book coach at all, and she explains why at the end of chapter one: she sells a very expensive course for that. And I am sure that course is worth it, but I felt a bit let down by the fact I bought a book to learn more about book coaching, and instead I get a book about how to add the skill (a skill I didn't learn how to do) to my business. So aside from a couple of chapters that were a good starting point to determine what kind of book coaching you'd want to learn how to do, the book felt like a generic business start-up book (how to invoice, schedule, and raise prices).

As a freelance editor, I've been looking at ways to expand my business and I love the concept of book coaching. This book is full of useful, actionable steps on how to plan and organize my book coaching business. It is also loaded with suggestions of other helpful resources. I have a lot more reading to do. :)
