I understand what it’s like to be stuck in a writing project, or unsure of where to begin. I’ve edited some of Canada’s leading literary journals and have worked extensively with those coming to the page for the first time, driven by a story that needs to be told. Currently I coach both emerging writers and professionals at any stage of a writing project—from conception to realization, or the messy space in between. Sometimes we all need a helping hand.
What does coaching look like? One to one coaching for writers might include support structuring or planning a book, developing and enhancing an ongoing writing practise, troubleshooting a complicated project, or getting particular feedback and editing advice on a shorter piece of writing. It may simply be a way to hold yourself accountable to a longer term project with regularly scheduled check-ins. If you’re unsure what you need, we will work together to tailor the coaching sessions to best meet your needs. This is an excellent way to work together if you’re not yet ready for a full manuscript evaluation or if you simply need some one to one support.
Coaching rates are available by the hour ($90 + HST), with discounted rates for pre-paid packages of six and ten hours. Each season, I work with a very limited number of writers in a one to one capacity. Through January, 2021, I’m offering a special rate for pre-paid coaching packages of six and ten hours. Packages must be pre-paid in advance and working times are flexible.
Coaching rates (available until January, 2021)
