Create momentum in your writing
Do you...
...have an idea for a writing project but can't get started?
...have something you've started but are stuck on?
...have a piece you want to deepen and develop?
​
This is a 1-on-1 coaching package designed for people who are ready to commit to a writing process with structure, accountability and deadlines. Fiction or non-fiction, memoir, solo performance piece or monologue--any form of writing (except poetry!).
​
How to apply:
Email me a brief (<100 words) description of your project and your goal, and a 250-500 word sample of it. I'll let you know if your project is a good match for what I do and, if so, we'll set a schedule.
​
How it works: ​
-
We agree on a regular time slot (e.g. Thursdays 9-10am).
-
We meet every other week at that time for 1 hour (5 sessions total).
-
I coach you on process, give direction on your writing, and make specific suggestions for next steps.
-
Between meetings, you have the same deadline and we use the same process, except by email.
-
You have a weekly deadline of writing at least 1000 words.
-
Meetings are via Zoom (or, pandemic and geography willing, in person).
-
Take a look at a sample schedule.
Pricing, etc.
-
$1,500 via check or Paypal.
-
At the end of the 10 weeks, if you come to all 5 sessions with new writing, you'll get a 6th session free.
-
The fine print: The fee is non-refundable. Each session should be considered a firm commitment and can be rescheduled only with 24 hours notice.​
