Coaching Options
The coaching relationship is fluid. Many people start out with a project and end up in a long-term coaching relationship, or we move from project to project. I’ve been working with some of my writers now for three-plus years, and the relationships continue to change. People have babies and take time off; people finish books and start the next one; people sign up for a short program and end up continuing for months. It is up to you! Because I work with only a few people at a time, our relationship is able to be flexible and fit your needs, availability, goals, and financial situation. We just keep talking.
These three options are usually where people begin—diving straight into a journey without a specific end-point in mind; beginning with a goal of completing a book, launching a newsletter, putting together a chapbook, or some other project; the short program is a great place to start if you’re not sure what’s going on with your writing and or where you want to go with it, and also makes a really good gift.
the long journey
For those who want to free their writing voice. We’ll understand, and deepen or alter your relationship with writing, develop your craft skills and practice, face challenges, understand your creative blocks, dismantle them, and develop your personal writing philosophy.
Reach out for pricing. I work with only a few one-on-one clients at a time, and pricing is based on a number of factors, including meeting frequency, volume of work produced, and your financial reality. The most common coaching arrangements cost between $1,200 and $2K a month.
Project based
A book you want to start or finish, a newsletter you need to scope, a book of poetry you want to order, a manuscript to structure, even a website that needs to tell your personal story and philosophy—these are all projects that I’d be excited to support you in.
Reach out with details about your project and the help you think you might be looking for, and if it’s a good fit I will explore coaching and pricing options with you.
Short program
The one-month program begins with a 10-question writing exercise, where we’ll learn about your relationship with writing and unearth important parts of your writing story—your blocks, your inspiration, your motivation, your values. This experience will help you begin to change your relationship with writing, whether that’s a repair, a turning-toward, a strengthening, or a balancing. I’ll provide notes and specific ideas for your next steps.
I’ve gone through this month-long experience with writers and it has never failed to be extraordinary. All you have to do is show up!
The short program costs $750.
