Writing Support for the Overwhelmed and Overextended
Keep the Flame Alive
What might it be like to have a reliable, safe, interpersonal space where your creative, writing self is the main event? This package is for parents, caregivers, people dealing with chronic health issues, people whose lives feel eaten up by gender transition or other queer-in-a-hostile-world experiences, people navigating through grief, teachers, and anybody else who needs to reconnect with their voice or creative spark—to write with support but without pressure. You’re still in there, friend!

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.
- Review of up to 2,000 words of planning documents to discuss in session
- Please get me your words at least 3 business days before our scheduled coaching session.
