I know you're doing great work to help writers reach their writing and publishing goals. And it can be frustrating when you want to focus 100% of your time helping them understand the Blueprint or guide them through the Inside Outline, but you have to spend so much time sending contracts, setting up client files, and onboarding them.
But that’s a lot of work to do all by yourself, especially once you start adding more clients. You're itching to help more writers, but the extra time it takes to onboard and support those them each month eats into time you could spend helping them write the book of their dreams.
Wouldn't you love to have everything set up so you can easily onboard 1:1 or group book coaching clients and spend more time reading their pages and giving thoughtful feedback?
Hi! I'm Lisa Shaughnessy
My philosophy is Because the World Needs More Storytellers and my mission is to support those who help writers get their stories and voices out into the world.
Having worked with several book coaches over the years for my own writing projects, and interviewing them for my podcast, I understand what your business looks like from a writer's and a business perspective.
I would love to use my 20+ years working with businesses to create processes to onboard clients and manage their business systems to help you - the book coach who is changing people's lives!
You have the business basics, but don't know how to implement all the moving parts.
The great thing about your book coaching certification training was that it gave you some business basics to get started finding clients. Yay!
But, now that you're in the thick of it, you realize there's so much more you need to learn and do.
Set up your email marketing. Create an onboarding system so you're not recreating the wheel everytime. Then, once you have all the pieces, you have to figure out how they go together - and keep them running smoothly.
That's where I come in!
I help book coaches like you, who are serious about making this their business. Depending on your needs and stage of business growth, I can manage backend operations, onboard group and 1:1 book coaching clients, help you understand how to attract your ideal writer, and plan a writing retreat around your book coaching services.
I've been helping small business owners organize and manage their businesses since 2012, but recently niched down to working with book coaches to support my mission of getting more stories and voices out into the world. And, because I've worked with several book coaches for my own writing projects, I understand your business from the writer perspective as well as the owner perspective.
If this sounds like just what you need to get your book coaching business running more smoothly, I'd love to chat with you about how I can help.
