What the heck is a book coach?
We invest in education for a reason: to learn new skills from those with experience because we don’t know what we don’t know.
Crafting and publishing a book is no different.
From how to focus your chapters so each one serves the overall goal of your novel . . .
To truly understanding your genre and readers’ expectations . . .
A book/author coach keeps you focused on the most important next step for you and answers all your questions so you don’t get lost in doing the research yourself.
In short, we walk you through the entire publishing process so you can achieve your goal faster and with complete confidence.
"After 1.5 years of researching and getting nowhere, coaching seemed to be a good option, especially with Erin already working on the line edits for my first book. I really enjoyed the experience and got a lot out of it!
"I don’t know that I would feel as confident as I do about moving forward had I continued to just do internet research and hope for the best. I maintain writing and publishing a novel is too expensive of a project to not do my best, and I think my readers deserve my best too. Working with Erin helped me provide a quality story to those who have read my book."

NEXT STEPS
All you need to do to get started is book a free 30-minute discovery call with Erin to see if we're a good match.
During the call, I'll learn more about what you're looking for and share how I can help.
RESERVE your seat
Life has a tendency of constantly dropping obstacles in our path. If you've longed to publish that book living inside your head, take yourself off the shelf and prioritize your dream. Book that discovery call sooner than later to turn "someday" into a real date on your calendar.
After that call, you can reserve your seat in our coaching program by submitting a nonrefundable deposit that equals the first month of your package. If you choose to pay in full, I will subtract your deposit from the total program fee.

What coaches + editors do
In addition to author/book coaches, different editors focus on specifics aspects of your book. The three primary types of editors include a developmental editor, who can help with manuscript evaluations; a line editor, sometimes called a copyeditor; and a proofreader, who checks for grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Erin P.T. Canning has worked for 20 years as an editor, encouraging each writer’s individual voice and strengthening their writing goals.
She always planned to write a book, but life had a tendency to distract her. After dedicating six years of her life to motherhood and discovering her ADHD, she started writing again, even though she feared her writing skills had atrophied.
After letting go of her perfectionism, Erin finally finished her own shitty first draft and released her fantasy romance novel, Ruins and Redemption, in 2023. Her current role as a podcaster and book coach enables her to help writers pursue their author dreams.
