Is it a Good Idea to Write a Book? Yes! Writing a nonfiction book is a smart move whether you're a yoga teacher, an herbalist, psychologist, doctor or any type of health and wellness expert. You can share what you know with a wider audience, establish yourself as a thought leader, make an impact and grow your brand. You Can Use Your Book: •To help readers transform their lives in a positive way. •To educate your clients or patients about your method, plan or program. Instead of giving each one handwritten instructions, you can give them a complete approach from A to Z. •To land interview requests about your subject matter whether it’s for print, radio, the internet, podcasts or TV. This further establishes you as an expert and builds your presence as a thought leader. •To supersize your content. You can use and repurpose book content for speeches, blog posts, articles, newsletters, in person and on-line courses. • To help you land speaking gigs. Defining who you are, what you do and what you believe in through your book makes it easier for people to find and book you. •To give in-person workshops in your hometown, at universities, associations, green companies, organizations. Bonus you can sell your book to participants too. •To book consulting gigs with people or organizations who want to know what you know and learn what you have to teach them. Maybe you can teach Buddhist stress reduction techniques or mindfulness meditation to accountants or lawyers or business people. •And of course, The Big Kahuna: To get booked for a Ted Talk and boost your visibility, way, way up!

Welcome! I'm Glad You're Here. I'm Always Happy to Meet Self-Help and Natural Health & Wellness Experts With a Positive Message to Share With the World.
Hi, I'm Chrystle Fiedler. I'm a Author Accelerator certified nonfiction book coach, editor and 12-time published author.
I've written and edited nonfiction and fiction books for Big Five publishers including Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster along with The Quarto Publishing Group USA and Quarto UK, Health Communications, Inc. and hybrid publishers. I have 17 years of experience in shaping health and wellness titles for publication.
Writing My First Book & Why I Can Help You Write Yours
I've always had a passion for natural health. It started when I went to a retreat at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health outside of Stockbridge, Massachusetts and continues to this day. First, I wrote about self-help and health and wellness as a journalist for publications including Woman's Day, USA Today and AARP.
This led to my first book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Natural Remedies. I signed the contract but soon experienced stress and overwhelm because I had no roadmap. This was like heading into the jungle without GPS, a map or a compass! Maybe you've felt this way too.
Thankfully, I had solid writing skills honed through my magazine work, so eventually I figured it out and the book went to press. Valuable lessons learned. But if I'd had a book coach who provided editorial guidance, feedback and support, the process would have been SO much easier. I would have saved time and energy and actually enjoyed the process of writing my book.
12 books later, I'm now a book coach and editor who specializes in self-help and natural health and wellness, and help authors who share my passion the way I wish I'd been helped. I share what I've learned so that they (and you) can write your self-help nonfiction book about yoga, meditation, herbalism, alternative and functional medicine, integrative mental health, and mind-body-spirit with confidence.
Why Publishing Experience Matters in a Book Coach
My experience writing nonfiction (and fiction, check out my natural remedies mystery series for Galley/Pocket) makes me different from other book coaches, many of whom have not written a book. This means that I know all the ins and outs, short-cuts, and secrets that can make it faster and easier for you to make your dream of writing a book come true.
When you make the decision to hire a book coach you're transformed from someone who wants to write a book to someone who is actually doing it. Investing in yourself and your writing is a significant way to validate yourself and the vision you have for your writing and your life.
I'm passionate about animal welfare issues, dachshund rescue and adoption, nature, travel and books.
