About Rachel

I believe every expert has a book worth reading.

My job is to make sure yours actually gets written.

Rachel Harmsworth, business book writing coach

I'm Rachel Harmsworth: author, writing coach and book strategist. For over a decade I've helped coaches, consultants and business experts turn their accumulated knowledge into published books that build authority, attract premium clients and create lasting impact.

I bring a rare combination to this work: the academic rigour of an MA in Writing and Publishing, the creative instinct of a fiction and non-fiction author, and the psychological insight of an NLP practitioner. That combination means I can help you not just write better, but think better, structure better, and believe in your work when the blank page tells you not to.

My story

Why I do this work

I became a writing coach because I know what it feels like to have something important to say and not know how to say it. I also know what it feels like to finally hold a finished book in your hands. I want that for every expert I work with.

My clients come to me at every stage, from "I have a vague idea" to "I've been trying to write this for three years and I'm stuck." What they all have in common is expertise that deserves a wider audience, and a book that deserves to exist.

I am both a fiction and non-fiction author myself, which means I bring genuine creative experience to the work, not just theory. I understand the loneliness of the blank page, the joy of a breakthrough, and the particular challenge of writing about yourself and your own expertise without losing your voice.

My mission is simple: to make sure the books that should exist in the world actually do. Your clients need your book. Your industry needs your perspective. And you deserve to be a published author.

What I believe

The values that guide
every partnership

Your voice is non-negotiable
Every book I help create sounds like its author, not like me, not like a template. Your voice is your greatest asset and protecting it is my first job.
Done beats perfect
The best business book is the one that actually gets finished. I create momentum, structure and accountability so your book moves forward, every single week.
A book is a business tool
I approach every book with commercial strategy as well as creative craft. It needs to work hard for your business, not just sit on a shelf.
Expertise deserves an audience
You have spent years building knowledge that could change someone's life. Getting it into a book is not a vanity project; it's a responsibility.
