How can coaching help your writing?

Coaching can be applied to any challenge you might face, inside the text or out.  Because it flows from your specific needs, it accelerates your growth and advances you more quickly toward your goals than other modes of writing help.

 

  • start/finish books

  • learn new skills/techniques

  • develop/structure story material

  • brainstorm/problem solve

  • define/actuate goals

  • refine the writing process

  • find agents/publishers

  • reverse bad habits

  • stay motivated/inspired

  • maximize productivity

  • create routines/schedules

  • overcome limiting thinking

  • establish support networks

  • design a writing life

What kinds of writers do we work with?

We coach writers of all kinds, at every level of experience, on a diverse range of projects.  What ties them together is the desire to identify and overcome obstacles that keep them from creating at their personal best.

  • Ed, a retired state trooper, is writing his first thriller and struggling with plot, pacing and other technical issues.  These challenges have caused him to procrastinate and lose motivation.

  • Katherine, a widely published fiction writer, feels she has stagnated and wants to rejuvenate her creative growth.  Brainstorming, goal setting and process refinement are current areas of focus.

  • Anne has written her second self-help book, which was rejected by her publisher.  Conceptual issues, structural problems, fatigue and deadline pressure have caused her to spiral into limiting thinking.

Can you try coaching before you commit?

Absolutely.  We offer complimentary 20-minute consultations, during which your questions will be answered and you'll experience the power of coaching firsthand.  If you're like the majority of writers we talk to, you'll see immediate results.
