Writing Coaches
In 2012 NTCW established a new level of support for writer’s groups called “Writing Coaches” who have significant experience in the Christian publishing industry. They help their group leaders and individuals with their writing and publishing questions. They don’t usually attend meetings but provide organizational support and answer questions online.
