the sound of voices two
Sometimes our own desire and motivation to write is not enough. Whether you need specific advice on the best way to structure a large project, or thoughtful editorial guidance and feedback on elements of craft, or are stalled and need concrete strategies and tools to get started or re-started, a dedicated writing coach can help.
Jeannine has worked individually with writers for more than twenty years, combining her passion and experience as a teacher with her award-winning editorial career and extensive experience as a published author to help writers achieve their goals.
coaching for books and other works-in-progress
Focus can be on any/all elements of craft, including structuring or restructuring a project from the ground up. Other focal areas include goal setting, breaking through writer's block, creativity building, detailed editorial feedback and revision guidance on work in progress, ways of staying on track, meeting deadlines, resources for fortifying craft, submission strategies and assistance (and, often, all of the above as needed).
