Coaching is a broad term, and it’s different for each person I work with. Some need accountability and a sounding board; others need consistent critical and craft feedback; still others need both.
My coaching meets you wherever you are. Your monthly fee buys you time, encouragement, and expertise; you get to decide how to leverage each. We’ll work together to create a schedule that works for you and helps you meet your writing goals.
Most often, we start with an assessment of your goals and current work, then develop a plan. If you have projects ready to be worked, we can start there: you’ll send me a maximum of 25 pages per month and I will read, make notes, and provide a detailed report for you to review. During our monthly call, we’ll discuss any questions you have and/or talk about your writing practice in general. I’m happy to offer writing prompts or other exercises if you need them.
My preference is that each client commits to a minimum of 3 months of coaching, and I offer a discount for those who want to work together for 3, 6, or 12 months.
While each client’s plan is different, typically this coaching package includes:
- One hour-long phone call/Skype session every month
- Close reading, in-line notes and edits, and a summary report for monthly submissions of no more than 25 pages of prose
- Unlimited email support
- Weekly check-ins via email or text
- Discounts on developmental editing services
