Creative Mentorship
I offer creative mentoring sessions, with a focus on supporting writers. I work with clients on an ongoing, short-term basis as well as for one-off sessions, and combine an intuitive approach with 10+ years experience writing and publishing work, 5+ years editorial experience, and 3 years training as a counselor/coach.
I especially enjoy supporting those who work full-time in a non-art job, those who didn't get an MFA, and those who are early in their creative process and need orientation.
Developmental Edits
In conjunction with this work, I am also available for select editorial work on essays or book-length projects (of any genre), with a focus on developmental edits. What this means is I read your work-in-progress and give high level editorial feedback on the manuscript (though I can never resist giving line edits).
Manuscript Read-Through
A "read-through" includes a thorough read of the manuscript so that our mentoring sessions can be grounded in my first-hand experience of the material, but is much lighter weight than a development edit. Basically, you're paying for my time to read your manuscript, as an add-on to at least one creative mentorship sessions following the read-through.
This grew from my own longing while writing my books to have someone in the weeds of the actual material with me, and to work through challenges in the creative process with someone who understood what I was grappling with inside of the manuscript. Writing can be lonely and I find this service makes it less so.
If you're interested in potentially working together, please get in touch.
