Everyone has a book in them. For some people it is a novel, but for an increasing number of professionals it is a non-fiction book. It is not just independent professional consultants, increasing numbers of in-house professionals are writing a book.

Whilst the idea may sound very appealing, the reality is far from easy. The list of challenges that must be addressed before the presses start rolling is extensive.

Andrea Glass is a Book Coach who aims to support first time non fiction authors to overcome those challenges.

In this interesting episode of Rest and Recreation Andrea explains to host Michael Millward the processes that have helped her support over 200 first time authors.

Amongst the useful hints and tips Andrea explains her C.O.D.E. model that keeps authors focused.
