Writing Coaching takes many forms. My goal is to help you become the writer and memoirist you want to be.
Many websites outline exactly what they will and won’t do as part of their writing coaching program. In many ways that’s a good thing. While I do outline some basic programs, I want to try something a little different and create the majority of what I offer based on your needs. As each person who reads this will be different, I can’t say exactly what will and won’t happen for everyone.
Some writers would like to develop their creative non-fiction writing skills, others would like to work specifically on a manuscript, still others may simply need to have someone to work through a difficult part of a memoir, novel, or compilation they are working on and need a trusted fellow writer to work with. And still others would simply like to polish their writing skills overall. To each of you I say come! We will create a plan and schedule just right for you.
Again, I don’t know in detail what it will look like. But what I can say, is that we will develop a program that works for you where your at. Generally speaking I envision it will include:
- 30-45 minute recorded phone calls.
- If you have a major aversion to being recorded, let me know. I use the recordings to review the session, be sure we are reaching your goals, and so that you also have it handy to hear your own conviction and dedication and see how far you’ve come.
- Email follow-ups, support, and availability.
- Review of written work which includes my feedback and if you like, a verbal discussion.
- Tips and suggestions as needed, ideas for development if wanted, references for reading that may be helpful or interesting.
My goal is to come alongside my writing clients and help them discover the writer within. I know for me, it is best done in a positive, nurturing, honest environment and I intend to provide that for each of you. There won’t be any judging your emails for typos – I make them too. Emails are for conversing, manuscripts are for editing.
So if that sounds fun, exciting, like your cup of tea, let me know! I’d love to work with you.
