From Fear to Confidence: How I Became an Author, Editor & Book Coach 

Nonfiction Book Coaching

​​Most of the time when I get on Zoom call with a writer, I see stress, fear and overwhelm. Natural health experts want to write a book but just don’t know how. When I got my first book contract in 2009, I didn’t know how either! I was a journalist and content creator so surely that would help, right? It did, to some degree. The rest was trial and error. And not much fun. 

Today, I’ve written 12 books and edited and coached many others for Big Five publishers—including Simon & Schuster and Penguin Random House—as well as The Quarto Publishing Group USA, UK, HCI Books and The Collective Book Studio. As an Author Accelerator certified nonfiction book coach, my superpower is helping author-experts to develop, structure, write, and revise natural health self-help to produce reader-friendly and market-ready books that transform lives.

We're a Good Match If You Are:                                                                  

​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A natural health and wellness expert and have a burning desire to share what you know to help readers transform their lives and in turn, help heal the world. ​ ​

If you’re willing to adopt what's known as “beginner’s mind,” which means you're open to the process of book coaching as it unfolds and evolves. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't have an opinion, you should! but it's also helpful to understand what you don't know to learn what you need to know. 

This means you’re willing to solve the problems with your book, whether it's defining your idea, method or plan, your book proposal, your pitch or your manuscript. ​ You’re also open to feedback, suggestions, and advice and are willing to make necessary changes to your book proposal and/or book to improve your message as it evolves.

 

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 natural health 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!

"Working with Chrystle Fiedler on my manuscript was a transformative experience. From the moment we began, I felt supported and guided through the previously unknown (to me) and daunting process of refining the manuscript. Chrystle's insights helped me clarify my meaning while retaining my message, ultimately elevating my work to its best possible form. I can't recommend Chrystle's coaching enough for anyone looking to refine their vision and bring it to life!" -- Jacie Beth, author of 30-Day Carnivore. (Fair Winds/2025).
 
"Chrystle's feedback was incredibly helpful. She helped me see the value of focusing on my own story to start the book to build trust and interest with my readers. Her mix of encouraging words and clear feedback was just what I needed. I thoroughly revised my proposal and sample chapters thanks to her guidance and am feeling much more confident about the project now." -- Jenna Jonaitis, author of The Therapy Virgin. Seeking representation.
