Areas of Focus:
I work with writers on all aspects of their writing lives, from self care and organisational skills to formatting and marketing their titles. I also provide initial for feedback on full manuscripts, offer services for creating self-published manuscripts and tailored plans from the proposal to the final blurb in your media kit.
Here are a few examples of the areas where I can help as part of a coaching/mentoring programme:
- Self care routines to boost your creativity and productivity
- Organisational structures and accountability to keep the momentum
- Feedback on your work-in-progress
- Inspiration and motivation
- Creative blocks and the creative process
- Prioritisation of projects and time management
- Business and marketing skills including web and social media
- Advice on submissions and agents/publishers
- Confidence in yourself
- The routes to market
- Professionalism as a writer
- How to avoid overwhelm
Most of my clients are serious about their writing work and looking for a coach to support them in an ongoing dialogue about their writing life. I prefer to work with you for a fixed period of time from 3 months to a full year. My aim is to assist you in finding clarity in the way you approach your work. I am here to ensure you reach your writing goals with the most amount of pleasure and ease possible.
