Writer Coaching

Meraki Writing Masterclass

1:1 Custom-Tailored Masterclass

Do you want to write that memoir or nonfiction book you’ve been saying for years that you were going to write? Have you felt a powerful need to share your story because it will have a positive, lasting impression and impact on the lives of others? Do you believe your story will contribute to or truly inspire others in a meaningful way? Do you believe it will help others to heal?

Or do you have a novel that you have been dying to write? Have you had an idea for years but didn’t know how or where to start? Is writing something you have always wanted to do, but every time you open your laptop, the white screen blinks back at you and your mind fills with doubt?

You are not alone.

If you’re writing non-fiction, you may have questions about how to organize the book and how all of your ideas, emotions, events, timelines, and thoughts will be structured and outlined into the book in a cohesive manner that brings value to the reader.

If you’re planning on writing a novel, you probably already have a host of characters swimming in your head, and maybe even an idea or two or a premise for the plot and subplots. But getting everything sorted for a full-length book feels daunting.

I will be your guide as you begin your writing journey. This is a 1:1 writing masterclass tailored specifically to your needs as a writer/author.

Author Coaching

Struggling to finish your book? Keep revising the first chapter(s)? Don’t know where your book is going? Have you arrived to the middle of your book and feel stuck?

If so, I can help. Let’s start with your free 30-minute consultation via phone. I’ve been giving and receiving writing advice and editing for more than 10 years. I love stories, I love helping writers, and sharing my writing knowledge.

The writing process is different for each writer for many reasons—experience, genre, process, time—I tailor my coaching to each client’s needs. Each session includes a 30-minute Zoom about your writing. I’ll ask questions about any struggles you’re facing, your writing process, and any other factors that could be affecting your writing time. We’ll work together on a plan to get you back on track and to a final draft.

Coaching sessions are $150 each. Each session includes:

  • 30-minute phone call

  • reading/editing/comment time on sections of writing between 18-20 pages, double space, 12 pt font

  • feedback on your writing (sent via PDF)

The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your writing goals.

Package sessions also available for discount, paid in advance:

  • 10 sessions (200 pgs) – $1350 ($150 discount)

  • 15 sessions (300 pgs) – $2025 ($225 discount)
