Ready to start your writing coaching adventure?

Writing coaching can help you:

• work through story or character issues
• hone your craft
• stay focused and on track
• get your book where you want it.

Here are four ways you can get started on your coaching adventure.

• Dip your toe workshop

One-hour workshop of the first 15K words of your draft. We’ll discuss what’s working, what needs developing or tightening and where the story is going.

You will leave the session with confidence and direction for your next round of writing and editing.

The workshop is recorded so you can work back through it at your own pace.

This can be a stand-alone experience or the beginning of our work together.

 Cost: $450

• Get going workshop program

This three-month intensive of fortnightly workshops is for new writers who are still finding their way into their book and their craft. It will help you expand your writing skills and get your novel on track.

You will finish the program with a swag of new writing insights and ideas, and a refreshed approach to your novel.

How does it work?

The get going coaching intensive follows on from a dip your toe appraisal of the first 15K words of your manuscript. We’ll explore the building blocks of a novel and how to apply them to your book. We’ll also look at elements of craft that will help bring your characters to life and draw your reader in emotionally.

Alongside this we’ll work towards developing a chapter outline, which will give you a framework for working on your next draft.

Includes:

• six one-hour workshops (recorded)
• a copy edit of your most polished chapter, up to 3000 words
• 30-minute follow-up session

Cost: $1450

• Keep going workshop program

This six-month program of monthly workshops will keep you inspired and on track. This program suits graduates of the Get Going intensive and writers who are well underway with their first draft.

You will leave each session feeling encouraged and inspired to keep going, with a clear idea of what’s working, what needs work and what to do next to get one step closer to finishing your novel.

How does it work?

I read your submitted chapters in advance (up to 15K words), we work through them together on screen, then discuss the next steps. The session is recorded so you can go back over it as often as you like.

• six one-hour workshops of up to 15K words (recorded)
• notations on your manuscript sent after each workshop
• five x 15-minute check-in support calls

• 30-minute follow-up session

Cost: $2650

(There is the option for a three-month program if that’s more suitable for your needs.)
