Writing Coaching & Offerings

I love helping others find their writing voice. Here are some of the ways I can help:

 
 

CREATIVE SPARK SESSIONS

60-min 1:1 coaching session + advance review of materials.

Reading, responding, and sparking the next step.

Sometimes, you don’t know where to start. Sometimes, you don’t know what to do next. I can help. I offer non-prescriptive feedback that considers where you and your writing are on the journey. I draw from a varied toolkit of prompts and methodologies to help evolve and energize your writing. Sessions are 60 mins.

Email me to inquire about or book a session.

COACHING PROGRAM

A coaching relationship of 6 bi-weekly sessions. Each session is 60-90 mins tailored to supporting the development of a specific writing project. The cadence of the program can be adjusted to individual goals and needs.

Seeing, framing, and pushing the work to build sustainable momentum.

As a mentor for your writing project, I help you figure out not just “what your writing is about”, but what your writing is doing. How does the plot work? What characters populate your writing? How do choices in tone and language land on a reader/audience? These aren’t just esoteric questions, but craft-based inquiries that help your writing make a leap.

Our meetings will give you a structure that takes the pressure off your shoulders and frees you up to make significant discovery in your writing. It gives you a healthy and sustaining practice to make something you’ll feel positive about, with an ally in your corner. 

How I approach these sessions:

  1. See your work through my eyes: calling on my background as a playwright and educator, I identify the inherent structures in your work, draw those out, and help you see your work more fully.

  2. Frame your work in a broader field: without falling into comparison or judgment, I help you see what voices and canons your work aligns with to create stimulus for a productive creative conversation.

  3. Prompt authentic evolution: through consistent meetings, baked in accountability, and mentorship to elevate your work - we set goals and create a rhythm for sustained creation.

WRITER’S GYM!

Drop-in bi-weekly, Sundays 10am-12pm EST, 120 mins starting June 2024.

Pages, not Perfection.

Grab your morning coffee and come on by the writer’s gym! Each session is two hours with a break in the middle. We’ll have a check in and I’ll give you some prompts to focus your writing.

Unlike the real gym, nobody is checking on your form or making you feel dumb. It’s a supportive place to dig into your work and exercise the writing muscle. You never have to share your work if you don’t want to.

TEXT TUNE-UP

Project-specific partnership to deliver outstanding writing.

We love process-based work, but sometimes you gotta deliver some great writing for a client, an application, essay, proposal, website copy, etc. The pressure of delivering that great work can create writer’s block.

I can help. I’ve ghostwritten books, created copy for media companies, shaped messaging for non profits, and written scripts for TV and stage. Check out my resume for a full rundown of my experience. As an expert in finding the form for any context - I can help you write, edit, and polish that key text.
