Coaching Session
- Pre-session check-in questionnaire to help you gather your thoughts and reflect productively, and to let me know what you’re needing, wanting, dreaming, and achieving
- 30 minutes on Zoom (or text chat in Discord), personalized to your goals and whatever you and your project need most right now
- Post-session email from me with meeting notes and next steps, within 48 hours of our meeting
- 30 minutes on Zoom (or text chat in Discord), no session prep or wrap-up email
- You bring questions, an idea you want to talk through, or an annoying writing problem for me to help you approach!
- A weekly, personalized nudge on the day of your choice, bugging you (but, like, in a nice way!) about your goals, deadlines, or writing life. Then you let me know how things are going, have a nice brag, and rework any goals that need it.
- Every other week (so, twice per coaching month), you’ll receive a relevant, personalized writing prompt, revision exercise, resource to explore, or other creativity or skills boost, via email. Send me your work on these homework assignments, plus a very short reflection on how doing the exercise felt, so that I can track how things are going and you can get gold stars! We can also look at or talk about your homework-based realizations and questions during our sessions.
- Review of up to 4,000 words of fiction draft/manuscript to discuss in session
- Please get me your words at least 3 business days before our scheduled coaching session.
- Written feedback on up to 2,000 words, attending to issues in the general neighborhood of style—think voice, clarity, precision, readability, flow, point of view, and more—and mechanics, focusing on whatever you want and/or whatever the writing currently needs.
- Please get me your words at least 5 business days before our scheduled coaching session.
- You’ll receive my feedback in Comments and Track Changes on your Word document at least 24 hours before our next session; then we can talk about any questions or ideas it’s raised for you.
- Written feedback on up to 4,000 words (with an option for up to 8,000 words, priced separately), attending to big-picture issues such as plot, structure, conflict, character arc, point of view, pacing, theme, worldbuilding, and genre conventions.
- Please get me your words at least 5 business days before our scheduled coaching session.
- You’ll receive my feedback in an email (and possibly some Comments and Track Changes on your Word document, if appropriate to the issues I’m noticing) at least 24 hours before our next session; then we can talk about any questions or ideas it’s raised for you.
