Coaching

Coaching provides tailored guidance and support throughout the writing and revision process. Coaching is individually structured to the author's needs. One author may require recurring weekly meetings, another may require ad hoc meetings when a problem presents itself. One author may want assistance planning the story, while another may want assistance during the writing process. Anything goes!
