For many coaches who want to increase their offerings and diversify
their profit streams, publishing a book is an attractive option. I achieved
this goal myself in July 2015 when my book, The Confidence Coach, was
published by Exisle Publishing. I’ve enjoyed writing from an early age and
had always dreamed of having an actual book of my own sitting on a shelf
in a bookstore. As a result, rather than self-publish, I decided to pursue the
more traditional route of seeking a contract with a great publisher.
Since my book has been published, many people have approached me to find out
what steps I took. To be honest, I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach,
and in my personal experience, a little self-belief and some manifestation techniques
also go a long way! With that said, here are five important tips for any coach seeking a
publishing contract.
