EP 51: Jennie Nash on the Book Proposal Process, Writers and Their Passion, and Writing Books That Impact People Through Time and Space

 


Do you want to write a book?


 


Do you know WHY you want to write a book? Do you have something
you absolutely have to get on your soapbox about? Or do you
wonder why your voice should even be the one to tell this story?


 


Without clarity on WHY you want to write a book, you probably
won’t be able to create the kind of book that can really move
people, change them, inspire them.


 


On today’s episode I am delighted to share the brilliant and
badass Jennie Nash.


 


Jennie is a highly sought after book coach whose clients have
landed top New York agents and six-figure book deals with Big 5
houses such as Penguin, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette. She
herself is the author of 9 books in 3 genres and is the creator
of the Killer Book Proposal Method.


 


Given that amazing resume, it’s no wonder that  she is now
on a mission to raise the bar in the book coaching industry as
the founder and CEO of Author Accelerator, which has trained and
certified more than 70 book coaches in both fiction and
nonfiction.


 


We had an eye opening conversation about the power of a book to
transform the reader, how to think about writing your book, book
proposals and agents and just everything you didn’t know you
needed to know about writing a killer book and proposal.


 


We also talk about the current state of publishing, Jennie’s
biggest book-related pet peeves, and what a book coach actually
does. If you think you have a book in you, you definitely want to
listen closely.


 


Tune into this episode to hear:


Debunking common misconceptions about how agents and
publishers actually buy books

Why following your passion is smarter than trying to follow
the market

Why she believes there’s room for everyone’s stories, and why
not everyone should write a book

How a book coach takes you from idea to manuscript or
proposal with one on one support you won’t get at an agency or
publishing house
