Many writers who decide to have writing coaching or a writing mentor are beginners. The majority of the people I coach are not experienced, although some have unfinished writing they want to complete.
Not necessarily. Many writers have several ideas and choosing which one to go with is part of what coaching can help with.
I offer writing coaching mainly online, combining email, phone or video. I'm based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Occasionally, if you're able to come to Hitchin and would like to meet me, we may be able to have an informal session in a quiet cafe or a private office I can access.
You're in control so it's completely flexible. There's the option of a single session or ongoing sessions, perhaps once a month or thereabouts.
Coaching is working with you on your writing and also your confidence, time management, immediate goals. Mentoring includes where I share my own writing experience, my professional insights, keep you on track in the medium and longer term in a broader sense. Both are valuable and you can choose a package that includes both.
Yes, absolutely if that is what you choose. I offer two kinds of reading: a broad overview and more detailed comments on a shorter extract. If you want ideas of fees, get in touch.
I've coached writers in their twenties and thirties, right through to their late sixties. There is no limit - young or old! What is most important is your enthusiasm and commitment to write, regardless of age.
