Becky the Book Coach
About Me....
I really don't enjoy talking about myself, but I am always happy to talk about my coaching style! I am an empath and a very intuitive person. I believe in 'truth with compassion". What does that mean to the writers I work with? It means that I am committed to helping writers bring their best stories into the world and to teach them to market those stories. I can't do that unless I am truthful about what I see and read. A writer is not well served by a coach who only tells them what they want to hear and not what is the truth. A good coach will always strive to help you improve your work. Maybe it will make more sense if you hear what one of my clients says about me.

"I had the pleasure of engaging in a one-on-one marketing Q&A session with Becky to discuss my marketing goals and first steps. I was blown away by Becky's professionalism, her encouraging and supportive nature, and her understanding of my individual needs.
Becky is genuine, warm, and knowledgeable, and after talking with her, I have direction and feel empowered to tackle the marketing side of my writing journey without the need to hide under my desk to avoid it!
Thank you, Becky." Kylie Parsons, Author "Kings of Nexum"

​Nothing makes me happier than to witness a writer who is confident about their work and feeling proud of what they have created.
​
A little of my personal story - I have been married for 32 years and we have one amazing son who is in engineering school. We have two spoiled rotten, rescues named Beau (the beagle) and Lucy (Heinze 57) who are usually sleeping under my feet when I am working.

Here are the highlights

35 years as a Marketing Strategist and Event Planner. So what does that mean? It means I have both work experience and lots of life experience.

I have worked in different industry sectors. Turn Key Engineering & Architecture. Luxury Real Estate and Gated Communities. Senior Living for Independent Adults. Non-Profit sector where I facilitated course material to prepare participants to find jobs. Non-profit fund raising and events.

I have been a book coach, content creator & copy editor for the last five years, and have coached both non-fiction and fiction writers. I published a coffee table book in 2018 that really put me on the path for my passion work which is working with writers.
