Have you ever wondered if you could achieve your freelance dreams a lot faster by hiring a writing coach? I know having someone on hand that I could ask questions and learn from was invaluable to me. This person was more of a mentor than a writing coach, but what I learned from her has brought me success. Those skills and principles are the foundations for my own coaching sessions.

There are tons of people on the Internet offering to coach you to freelance success. How do you know if a particular coach could help you, or if you’d be wasting your money? Remember, just like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there is no official freelance writing coach school. Anybody can hang out a shingle.

What do you need to know before you hire a writing coach? Here are some important questions to ask before you engage a coach for any type of writing.
