Dear New Book Coach: A Quiet Companion (audiobook)

"Full of wisdom, heart, and the kind of inspiration that may cause book lovers to drop everything and become a book coach." Jennie Nash, Author Accelerator founder and CEO

⚠️ This Audiobook is a glimpse into real coaching

I recorded it myself—not in a studio, not with a professional narrator, but in my own voice, in my book-lined study. That means it’s not ‘Audible-perfect.’ You’ll hear a few stumbles, just as you would if we were sitting across from each other, chatting over coffee.

And that’s the point.

This book isn’t about perfection. It’s about honesty, experience, and the real work of coaching—the messy, thoughtful, human side of it. If you’re a book coach (or know one), I hope this audiobook feels like a conversation, not a lecture. Because coaching isn’t about sounding flawless. It’s about showing up as you are.

A letter from me to you

Dear New Book Coach, this book is your emotional companion in the journey of book coaching. It’s a collection of letters for you, when you have just set up in business.

The letters are arranged to reflect the emotional journey of taking the leap into entrepreneurship, right down to the detail of starting up your day. There are letters on setting up systems, on interacting with writers, and on practicing your coaching skills. On marketing. On the impact of feeling let down and of simply feeling down. On the moments of joy, or wry amusement, or all-out hilarity

"I want you, friend, to keep this book as your quiet companion next to your laptop as you coach writers to write their books.

Ruth
