Building a Book Publishing Business to 7-Figures: Helping People Tell Their Stories with Nancy Erickson

Nancy Erickson has built not only a coaching business to help people write the non-fiction book of their dreams, but also a publishing business that helps them get their book published. Her coaching business includes a course, a mastermind and direct 1-to-1 coaching. As the years have progressed, she has been able to run her business only three days a week, while taking Monday and Friday off for her personal life.

Known as The Book Professor®, she coaches business professionals to become authors of high-impact nonfiction books that will establish them as experts in their fields, increase their credibility, help attract a following, and expand their business. When the book is finished, you can take each chapter and repurpose it to create other revenue-producing products that include seminars, workshops, online training, podcasts, and online courses. In 2022, Nancy was named a Top 10 Book Coach in the US by The Coach Federation.
