Free Business Classes for Writers

Every month, Jane offers a free class on the business of writing or publishing. These take a couple of forms:

  • Sometimes Jane presents solo on a focused topic. Jane also invites guests to present on their area of expertise. These sessions launched in 2020 and are most often held on Sunday afternoons. Review the YouTube playlist of all past sermons.
  • Other times, Jane helps a writer with a business conundrum. These are called Business Clinics. Jane helps writers determine next steps based on their current goals and experience, complemented by her insight into current market conditions. With 25 years in the business of writing and publishing, Jane has seen most challenges that writers face (and has also dealt with them personally). Anyone can apply and be considered for Clinic. It’s free. Review the YouTube playlist of all past Clinics.

April 14: 7 Steps to Building a Book Coaching Business with Jennie Nash

Most writers don’t make enough money to support themselves from their writing alone. Book coaching is viable way to fill the gap using your love of books, your talent for working with words and ideas, and your desire to do meaningful work. A book coach offers writers editorial feedback, deadline accountability, marketplace intelligence, and emotional support throughout the creative process. Unlike an editor, book coaches are paying attention to the writing and also to the writer. They have their eyes on the page and also on the big picture. Their job is to help the writer raise their voice and bring their vision to life.

Jennie Nash has helped more than 200 book coaches launch and grow their businesses. In this free class, she’ll walk you through the 7 steps to building a book-coaching business and help you determine if coaching is something you want to pursue.

So these classes are free?

Yes! No strings attached. You will not be pitched or sold anything.

Will you or the guest answer questions?

For those who attend live via Zoom, yes. We will look at and answer questions as time allows.

Do I have to register?

Only if you want to participate live, ask questions, or interact with other attendees during the session. If you can’t attend live, you can watch it afterward at my YouTube channel.

I’d like to recommend a topic for a future session.

That would be wonderful. Contact me.
