Non-fiction coaching
& ghost writing
HOLD THE PRESS! If you could add an extra touch of magic to make your book more successful, would you do it?
Or perhaps you have a great idea for a book and you're wondering where to start.
As the author of six successful non-fiction paperbacks, (four traditionally published and two self-published) I understand the dedication, discipline, sweat and passion it takes to write a book, and I know that mix of exhilaration, exhaustion and relief that wells up as you approach your last page.
So whether you've started writing or whether you are standing at the starting line wondering where on earth to begin - I can help you.
As a non-fiction coach/mentor and wordsmith I specialise in how-to, self-help and biography.

"A very special thank you to author and wordsmith Jane Teresa Anderson for helping me structure this book and for helping me find my writing talents and style. I couldn't have done it without you."
- Kurek Ashely, 'How Would Love Respond?' - an International best seller.
"I would never have completed my non-fiction book if it were not for JT’s coaching service. From start to finish JT was only ever a phone call or an email away! It was an absolute comfort to know this and to draw on her wealth of experience; this kept me sane and motivated through the writing process! JT’s coaching style kept me on track, focused and most importantly when I wanted to give it all up, and throw the entire book away, she was my voice of reason!! Thank you!
- Carol Bagaric, 'Retail Revamp - The No Nonsense Guide to Visual Merchandising & Display'.

Helping you structure your book before you begin
You're an expert in your field. You have the knowledge and the wisdom. You have a message to get across. You have much to teach and you can see many different ways to approach your subject but, which is best?
I help you to stand back and look at your subject through your readers' eyes. I help you to structure your book to suit their needs. And I help you to structure your book in a way that makes it highly marketable - so it sells.
When a potential reader picks up your book and flicks through it (or checks out sample pages on your website), it is the structure that can make or break your sale. During those few minutes, your reader needs to see how easy your book is to use and how it can help her. She will look up a couple of references in your index, check out your contents page, and scan bullet lists, breakout boxes and page layout. What will she decide?
The more complex your subject, the more attention you need to place on getting the structure right. I help you achieve this.

OR, you may prefer to choose the mentoring option - see next section.
Mentoring/ coaching you from start to finish
Face-to-face and by phone, I mentor and coach you through the whole process of writing your non-fiction book. I help to keep you motivated and writing.
I'm there at the beginning to help you structure your book, to keep an eye on marketability, to offer ideas and creative approaches to getting your book written and published. I help you through the tough times, keep your creativity flowing, set you short and long term goals, and keep you motivated and inspired. I've been there many times as an author. I know what it's like. I also know how it feels to hold the first copy of your finished book and to get positive feedback from readers. Are you ready to begin?
Mentoring begins with a 3 hour one-to-one workshop with me in Brisbane, followed by a 90 min one-to-one workshop one week later. This equips you with the structure and outline of your book plus a writing schedule and outline of other goals. We then progress to weekly phone coaching sessions. You email me an update before each phone call. Phone sessions are 45 minutes each. I phone you on your landline at the appointed time. (If you prefer to use your mobile phone, you call me.)

Rewriting your draft for greater impact
How can your draft manuscript be tweaked or changed to create a bigger impact on your readers?
In non-fiction, greater impact may be achieved by making subtle changes to the layout or structure of your book, by changing style, by adding anecdotes, by introducing techniques that get your readers more involved, by reconsidering your introductory chapter and ... much more!
How much impact do you want your book to make on your readers? What does it take to get them talking about your book, or living and breathing what they've learned from your book?
Ghost writer Michael Collins and I collaborate on rewriting drafts. My speciality is restructuring, and Michael's speciality is rewriting.
