1-on-1 Writing Coaching
I work both within and outside traditional genres/formats and help you to do the same — to tune in and stay true to your specific voice, in both content and form.
Work with me to:
Start or deepen your writing practice
Break through a block
Start: figure out how to begin moving your thoughts/feelings/ideas to the page
Finish: polish a work to get it to completion
Find places in your writing where you can go deeper
Address specific “problems” – structure, tone, unity or clarity of voice, etc.
Walk away with new writing exercises specific to your own needs
Develop your own writing practice
Address any genre or style
It is basically this – show me where you, and we will work on answering the biggest question: what now?
Let’s chat & see if it’s a good fit!
Full Sessions
For each session, you receive approximately 2.5 hours
of my dedicated attention and the following resources:
1.5 hour coaching session (in person or video/phone call) discussing where you are and what’s next (read above). Each session differs and sometimes includes a short writing exercise during our time.
Assignment of strategies and/or writing exercises specific to your project/goals, which you will apply to your regular writing practice at home.
Pre-read of your writing before we meet (typically 1-2 short works or except of longer work up to 3 pages*), with feedback discussed during our session. I will pre-read for 1 hour.
* This length of writing sample has proved to be sufficient for the purposes of coaching, which addresses your writing strengths and challenges at large. If you would like additional read-throughs, please see “Booking Options” below.
Minis
In-Person (or video call)
If you don’t need a pre-read (maybe you don’t yet have writing) but just want to sit down with me, share, and get ideas on where to go next, you can schedule an hour with me.
In particular, this is great for discussing how to start/deepen your writing practice or talking through blocks — basically those “what now” moments when you find yourself at a crossroads but can’t perceive which gates are open for you.
Read-Through with Notes
