Writing coaching
What is Writing Coaching?
Writing coaching is a process in which a coach works with a writer to help them improve their writing skills, clarify their goals, develop their voice, and overcome any obstacles or challenges they may be facing in their writing process.
Why do you need it?
Writers seek writing coaching to improve their writing skills, gain clarity and direction in their writing goals, overcome writer’s block or other challenges in their writing process, receive feedback and support, and develop their unique writing voice and style.
How can I help you?
As a writing coach, I help writers by providing personalized guidance, feedback, and support tailored to their specific needs and goals. This includes assisting with idea generation, outlining, revising, editing, and providing accountability to help writers stay motivated and on track.
What can you expect in Writing Coaching?
In writing coaching, writers can expect to receive personalized guidance, feedback, and support to improve their writing skills, clarify their goals, develop their voice and style, overcome challenges, and stay accountable. Coaching sessions may include discussions on writing techniques, brainstorming, reviewing and revising drafts, and setting and tracking writing goals.
What do you need to start the sessions?
All you need is a story idea and a basic plan of what you want the plot to be about. The more details you have, the better.

Packages
Based on your needs, I offer three types of packages:
End-to-end Coaching: In end-to-end writing coaching, I will provide ongoing support and guidance to the writer over an extended period of time, typically several months, up to a year. This includes regular coaching sessions, feedback and support throughout the writing process, and assistance with goal-setting, outlining, drafting, revising, and editing.
One-Month Coaching: In a one-month writing coaching, I will provide similar support, but over a shorter timeframe. This includes weekly coaching sessions, feedback on a few writing pieces, and assistance with specific writing goals.
One-Time Coaching: In a one-time writing coaching session, I will provide targeted guidance and feedback on a specific piece of writing, or address a specific challenge or question related to the writing process. This may include developing a story idea, suggestions for improvement, and tips for moving forward.
