Jennie Nash: Tough Love Book Coach

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 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 the quick fix solutions to learning writers craft so frustrating
• What she learned from her writer father
• The moment she turned down a multi-book deal with 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
