Time or Money with Melissa Haveman.
Coaching for writers is on the rise, but what kind of coach do you really need? With so
many options available (book coaches, writing coaches, author coaches, and more), it
can be hard to know the differences, let alone understand which one fits your needs. In
this session, certified executive coach (PCC), developmental editor, and author Melissa
Haveman will demystify the coaching landscape for writers. You’ll gain clarity on the types of coaching,what each one is best suited for, and how to choose the right support for your spot in the writing journey.
