Are you ready to write? Start that story that won’t leave you alone? Finish those pieces that are sitting in a drawer? Or are you new to the process and want the support of a gifted group around you? Does the thought of writing excite/scare/intimidate/exhilarate you? Maybe you’re you ready to start submitting? Do you want to develop work to read at spoken word events? Are you tired of the words “Someday”? Here are some places you can start.

Private Sessions, & Coaching: Solo & Mixed genre - I coach writers from across the country through private sessions both in person
and by distance coaching. The process is simple- you are encouraged to Email
your work ahead of time so I can read it through before we meet. We will then
work together on your writing based on your goals and intentions. You also
have the option to work these by phone or “Apple I Chat” (which is very cool).
I have found that these classes have also proven to be very effective to the
development of your material.
Privates coaching sessions are effective because the entire focus of the session
is based on your work and your particular needs. This type of arrangement is
$75.00 per sloppy hour. I usually like to chat before any agreement is made so
that we can talk about your work, your goals and to see if we're a good fit. This
is of course a freebie.

Check list of things to bring:
|
• Please bring material to be shared in class. This material is a work in progress- so reading it or just talking through an idea is fine. This class is designed for you- so let me know how I might best serve you and your process. And if you don’t have material to share come anyway, your feedback and support is important. It will also serve to motivate and excite you to get back to the page. Also- If you need to miss a date, let me know head of time and we can arrange a privates session |
• Two copies of your materials- double spaced |
• Stuff you need to write with, your good luck charms if you are so inclined
(writers like ball players are a superstitious bunch), Your sense of adventure,
an open mind and your spirit of generosity and fun. |

Lastly, I encourage you to be in the creative process as you go thru your day; while you wash the dishes or sort laundry or daydream. I encourage you to honor your gifts by writing on a consistent basis. I encourage you to write through your fear, your confusion, your uncertainty and your busy schedule. And to always, always listen for the story.
