Client Survey — Author & Book Coach

SURVEY

Thank you for agreeing to answer some questions about working with me. Your answers will help me assess my strengths and weaknesses as a coach, which in turn will help me grow, and be more efficient as I help other writers.

Please answer with honesty, and don’t worry about hurting my feelings—I’ve given some hard-love feedback to you over the time we’ve worked together, and now it’s your turn :)

What compelled you to seek help of a book coach?

I know it's been awhile, but try to remember that first moment when you thought-- I need help, and I want to work with a book coach. What issues with your writing compelled you to ask for help?

Why did you choose to work with me, of all book coaches?

Again, long time, but was there a specific reason why you chose to work with me instead of other coaches? Did anything in my copy or social media resonate especially?

What issues in your writing did you feel you needed most help with before we started working together?

What thoughts or fears or feelings did you have about your work before we started working together?

Have you grown as a writer in the time we worked together, and how?

What do you now KNOW that you didn't know before? What can you DO that you couldn't do before?

How do you feel about yourself as a writer and your manuscript after this journey?

Do you feel more confident? Sure of your abilities? Do you feel your manuscript has improved, and if so, how?

What do you feel I do really well as a coach?

Whether it be craft teaching, encouragement, brainstorming plot, emotionality in writing... what do you feel is my strongest side as a book coach?

What do you feel I could do better as a coach?

Was there anything about your journey with me where you didn't feel supported as well as you wanted? Did I listen poorly? Did I impose solutions on you?

Anything else you'd like me to know?

Rant away :)
