Every author has a book inside them, but many never write it because they don’t know where to begin. That’s where an Author Coach comes in.

At Porchlight, our Author Coaching is designed to help you uncover the story God has placed in your heart and walk with you step by step until your book becomes reality.

An Author Coach is more than a guide, they are a partner who will:

Help you discover your book and bring clarity to your vision.

Create a writing plan and schedule so you can move forward with confidence.

Provide encouragement and accountability to keep you on track.

Offer solutions when challenges arise, so obstacles don’t stop your progress.

Guide you through publishing and promotion when your manuscript is complete.

For Christian authors, the value of working with a coach who shares your faith is priceless. We understand not only the writing and publishing process, but also the purpose behind your book and the lives waiting to be touched by it.

You don’t have to walk this journey alone. With the right coaching, your dream of writing a book can become a reality.

Great books aren’t just written, they are refined. At Porchlight Publishing, we believe editing is one of the best investments you can ever make in your book. As we like to say: “Content may be king, but editing is the queen, and the queen rules the kingdom.”

That’s why every book published through Porchlight begins with an Editorial Assessment by a member of our professional editing team. This initial review highlights the strengths of your manuscript while also showing you how editing can transform it into a polished, engaging, and reader-ready book.

At Porchlight, we understand that every book is unique, which is why we offer a full range of editorial services tailored to your needs. Editing costs are based on word count, not hourly rates, so you’ll always know exactly what to expect.

Marketing

Marketing is vital to every book’s success, but true impact comes from reaching the right readers. At Porchlight Publishing, we take time to understand you, your book, and your circles of influence. Then we design a custom marketing plan that gives your book the best chance to be seen, shared, and sold.

Launching a book is a journey with many moving parts. Without the right guidance, opportunities can be missed. That’s why we walk with you through every stage of the process:

Pre-Launch – Building anticipation and preparing your audience.

Launch – Driving visibility and momentum as your book goes live.

Post-Launch – Sustaining interest and expanding your reach over time.

Audience Development

If marketing gets your book noticed, audience development keeps readers engaged. In today’s crowded marketplace, building a loyal community is one of the most powerful things an author can do. Most books are sold by recommendation and that happens when readers feel connected to you and your message.

Audience development begins early in the writing process and continues long after publication. It’s about consistently attracting, engaging, and retaining readers who truly resonate with your work. At Porchlight, we help you recognize and grow your audience over time, so your impact doesn’t end at launch.

Success isn’t about shortcut; it’s about connecting the right book with the right readers. With the right partner, that journey not only becomes easier but far more rewarding.
