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
Pull the story out: start or make progress on a specific writing project
Polish a work to get it to completion
Uncover or refine the form that best fits the story you wish to tell
Bring structure to a collection
Find places in your writing where you can go deeper
Break through a block
Address specific “problems” – structure, tone, unity or clarity of voice, etc.
Walk away with new writing and/or editing exercises specific to your own needs
Bring organization to how you manage your writing projects
Address any genre or style

It is basically this – show me where you, and we will work on answering the biggest question: what now?

SCHEDULE A SESSION

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 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.

Make Consistent Progress

Buy a Block, Set Your Pace:

every other week

Booking a block (4 sessions) to set a pace ensures two things: (1) you will have a place on my regular schedule; (2) you will make consistent progress toward your goal. Clients find that structure and accountability go a long way toward actually doing the thing they are seeking me for.

Each session includes 1.5 hour in-person/video call & 1 hour pre-read with notes (see above).

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.

$75/hour

Read-Through with Notes

For feedback on a specific piece of writing without the one-on-one coaching time and exercises that come with it, share your writing and I will send you my notes.

Writing samples must be uploaded to Google Drive.

Feedback will be shared in:
