Get the Tips & Gentle Critique You Need to Start (or Finish) Your Book
Whether you have a manuscript in progress or haven’t picked up a pen yet, workshops and coaching sessions can help you transform your ideas into readable and captivating essays.
- Workshops provide the writing instruction and feedback you need in a supportive group context. Their affordable and a great way to meet other writers.
- Book Coaching may be a better fit if you want more intensive one-to-one guidance focused only on the topics that matter to you.
Some writers look to workshop and coaching instruction as a gentle guide throughout the writing process, from brainstorming to final draft revisions. Others use a workshop series to generate rough material for later use in a ghostwriting or coauthoring partnership.
