Welcome to The Writing Coach. On this podcast, I speak with the instructors, editors, coaches, and mentors who help writers and authors create their art, build their audience, and sell their work.
In episode #64 of The Writing Coach podcast, I speak with Jennie Nash.
Jennie has spent 30 years in the world of books. She is the author of seven books, one of the world’s top one-on-one writing coaches, and the co-founder of Author Accelerator, a company that matches authors with books coaches.
During our conversation, Jennie describes:
- Why she finds offers of quick-fix solutions to writers craft so frustrating
- What she learned from her writer father
- The moment she decided to turn down a multi-book contract offer from a traditional publisher
- Why a writing retreat once asked her to “tone down” her intensity
- The reason writers need to get good at asking for what they want
- How talent can often get in the way of storytelling
- The non-linear nature of writing
- And much more
