Hey, you! I’m so excited we get to keep working together.

My Approach To Ongoing Writer Wellness

It’s strange, isn’t it, how people will get a gym membership or work with a personal trainer, therapist or other helping professional on the regular, and yet the thing they are most passionate about - their writing - is left to its own devices.

So many writers invest in a single coaching package or class and think that will be enough to sustain them through a whole lifetime of creative ebb and flow. Problem is, each book is a different puzzle, each season of your creative life is full of change and uncertainty: having regular, consistent support is essential to sticking the landing with your writing.

Imagine having a writing coach on call: on-demand coaching whenever you need it. Feeling stuck with your book and need to talk it out? Struggling to get to the writer’s seat? Got a rejection or being run into the ground by your inner critic? Or maybe you’re ready to go out on sub, need career support, or want help integrating mindfulness into your writing practice. It’s also possible that you need someone to be on your ass a bit: If I don’t hear from my writers, I reach out. Many writers need someone who’s going to gently - but firmly! - guide them back to their intentions. Think of me as your better angel.

Writer Wellness isn’t something you just do once and then cross your fingers and hope it sticks.

Just like therapy or exercise, having regular support ensures you stay on track so you can sustain a writing practice that moves you closer to your goals and dreams.

What We Do

It’s pretty straightforward: once I’ve worked with a writer in one of my intensive creative seasons, we’ve set a good foundation for their writing practice, I’ve gotten to know them and their work pretty well, and we’ve created a shorthand with one another. This is what allows monthly as-needed support to be so beneficial.

Whichever option you choose, you will have unlimited, on-demand support via voice messaging on WhatsApp, text, and email. I often will send resources your way to supplement this work: writing exercises, helpful readings, blog posts or podcasts - any resources I can think of that will give you the support you need. I can’t emphasize enough how much value is in this, and how committed I am to my writers. But you’ve already worked with me - so you know this already!

How great is is that you can just pick up your phone any time and send your coach a voice message? Or jump into your inbox and send an email, or text?

This is great for on-the-spot writer emergencies, deeper inquiries over a period of time, and accountability. We’ll refine your process along the way and I’ll constantly be sharing new tools for writing wellness: holistic support from craft to story to mindset and productivity. All with a dash of mindfulness, of course!

We’ll brainstorm the heck out of your book, untangle plot snarls together, and keep that inner critic in line.

Exchange

You have three options. Whichever you choose, this is a month-to-month program with no minimum or max. All options include lifelong access to my client-only craft portal and my private mindfulness portal, which I update regularly.

Option 1 :: $350 / month ::

Unlimited voice, text, and email support

Option 2 :: $600 / month ::

Everything in option #1 + a 60-minute Breakthrough Call (Note that you’re getting a $50 discount per call, as the usual call is $250 - this is just one way I can honor the work we’ve already done together and keep this offering as accessible as possible.)

Option #3 :: $800 / month ::

Everything in #1 and #2 + 20 pages of editorial critique per month (could be from your WIP, sidewriting, craft exercises, anything!)

The Nitty-Gritty

• While you have unlimited voice messages, please keep those messages to 5 minutes or less per message, so I have enough time to listen and respond in a timely manner.

• All messages will be returned within 24 hours M-F. Weekend messages or messages on Fridays after 3:00pm EST will typically be returned on Mondays.

• I always offer a la carte editorial support to my long-term writers, so even if you don’t choose the editorial option, I can invoice you for editorial as needed at my current rate. This is also great for continued work on identifying craft strengths and areas for growth.*

  *Please note that this is ONLY to help you with craft. I’m not a book doctor and I no longer do full or partial manuscript critiques. The pleasure is in the practice…for both of us!

I’m so honored to be working with you. Here’s to your practice!
