In addition to teaching various levels of writing at Universities, with students ranging in age from 17 to 70, I have worked with and managed groups of writers in many different contexts. I have worked with book clubs that have shown interest in writing their novels or short stories. I have worked with publications that have needed help organizing writers and writing projects. I have also worked with PR and Marketing firms to strengthen the writing skills of office workers.

How does Group Writing Coaching work?

I meet in advance with a dedicated group leader who represents the group’s interests in writing. This meeting helps me customize content and facilitate productive working sessions for the group.

  1. Group Writing Workshop—a customized session where I will meet with your group and discuss project ideas, provide feedback, advice, and coach you in creating actionable goals and next steps. Includes one 30-minute, pre-meeting workshop with organizer. Up to 2 hours.
  2. Monthly Group Writing Coach Sessions—For the group who wants to commit to a process together that will help individuals shape their writing project and includes instructions for the group members on how to read, reflect, and critically respond to one another work. The Monthly Group Writing Coach Session Plan includes a 90-minute consultation and instructions for another hour of work each month. This plan is a 3-month contract, renewable with 30-day cancellation.
  3. Add-on Coaching Package— adds four individual coaching sessions of 30 minutes each. These sessions may be used by anyone in the group.
