Writing Coaching

Let’s talk about you.

We love the buzz of a creative community in our workshops and programs and we believe that community is the answer to many creative questions.

But, we also know that sometimes what we need to move forward is one person’d attention, deeply attuned to the puzzle of our creative life.

That’s where coaching comes in. Bring us your messy drafts, half-formed ideas, uncertainty and fears. We’ll bring big questions, curiosity, tools, and a huge capacity to listen, listen, listen.

Here are some of the starting points our clients arrive with:

• I want to write but I’m overcome with the ache of fear or unworthiness.

• I write for work and it has extinguished my creative spark. I want to get back there.

• I have an idea for a book but I have no idea where to start, and if I have what it takes to write it.

• What should I do with these piles of old notebooks and journals?

• I wrote something years ago that I loved, but then I put it in a drawer. I want to open it up, but I don’t know what I’ll find.

• I love writing for myself, but I never share.

• How can I figure out if it’s worth it to write something that might hurt someone?

• I have an idea for a story, but I don’t know how to get it going.

• I look out at what’s on the shelves at the bookstore, and I don’t see anything like my story.

• Should I try to publish? What about self-publishing?

• I've been working on my passion project forever. I thought it would be done by now. I’m getting exhausted.

These packages are three months, meeting every second week. We’ve found this to be the magic combination to build the relationship that will hold your work and help you thrive. That said, if you have a different need, you can let us know.

There’s no bar for “readiness” — we’ll meet you exactly where you are and co-create a process to get you where you want to go.
