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
Work through the overwhelm of a writing project
Polish a work/collection to get it to completion
Uncover or refine the form that best fits the story you wish to tell
Find places in your writing where you can go deeper
Address specific “problems” – structure, tone, unity or clarity of voice, etc.
Break through a block
Walk away with new writing and/or editing exercises specific to your own needs
Bring organization to how you manage your writing projects
It is basically this – show me where you, and we will work on answering the biggest question: what now?
Writing Coaching 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.
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 excerpt 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.

Chat
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 person or video call).
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.
