About the role
Description supplied by the original job listing.
Company Description Drafting a book in stealth mode is an early-stage initiative focused on developing a high-quality, long-form nonfiction book concept from inception to publication-ready manuscript. The project is currently operating without public branding, offering team members a unique opportunity to shape both content and process from the ground up. Work is fully remote and highly flexible, emphasizing autonomy, clear communication, and strong ownership of deliverables. Collaborators are encouraged to bring proven writing, coaching, and editorial expertise to help build a professional, impactful book.
Role Description The Writing Coach will provide one-on-one guidance to the primary author throughout the book development process in a remote capacity. Day-to-day responsibilities include reviewing draft material, offering detailed feedback on structure, style, and clarity, and helping the author refine their voice and narrative arc. The role also involves co-creating writing plans, setting milestones, and holding regular coaching sessions to address challenges, improve craft, and maintain momentum. The Writing Coach will support research organization, suggest resources, and help transform complex ideas into clear, engaging prose. This position is designed for an experienced coach who is comfortable working discreetly on a confidential, in-progress manuscript.
