Writer's Coaching for Creative Projects

Coaching guides the writer, and editing guides the writing.  With obvious crossovers, both often occur simultaneously.

Coaching is generally focused on empowering the individual to become a writer and consistently grow. This includes inspiring creativity, enhancing skills, and developing content, as well as setting and achieving goals through the process of writing.

For some, outdated attitudes, fears, and creative blocks will need to be addressed and redefined for creativity to flow and writing to happen.

Whatever their experience, I work with writers in the genres of:

• Memoir
• Creative Nonfiction
• Inspirational / Self-Help
• Fiction
• Science Fiction / Fantasy
• Romance

within formats of :

• Novel / Book / E-book
• Short Story
• Screenplay
• Stage Play
• Poetry

I am ‘the magic mirror’ when I coach a writer on content development.  Brainstorming ensues, questions are posed, information exchanged, ideas surface, research discussed, and the path for you and your work becomes focused through this process.

As your coach, I provide accountability.  Project management involves determining goals, setting schedules, attaching check points, acknowledging setbacks, making adjustments, and adhering to deadlines for completion, publication and release.

I also organize and facilitate focus groups for further evaluation of your writing, assisting in both approach to and analysis of information gathered after the meeting.
