How do I choose between book coaching and done-for-you publishing?
Choose by how much of the writing you want to do. If you want to write it yourself and learn the process, the Author Blueprint course fits. If you want a nonfiction book coach beside you for a year, Author Training is the done-with-you option. If you have expertise but no time to write, Author Premium uses ghostwriters.
