Are you struggling to find the time, energy or support you need to write? Let’s take a closer look at how, when, where and why you work best, and how to create the perfect environment to foster your creative practice.

Because sometimes we forget writing should be fun, right? Yes, it can be difficult and challenging and frustrating, but ultimately it should still be enjoyable to tap into our creativity. So what’s gone wrong? is life too busy, too stressful, too much? Are there psychological blockages getting in the way? Or are you just not quite where you need to be in terms of development?

Let’s find out what you need to perfect your writing practice and maximise both your enjoyment and efficiency)

Productivity: I actually hate the word productivty, because writing is a process, not a product, but all of us need a little help getting the words down when we’ve hit a wall. This coaching session will look at what you find motivating, what makes writing feel easier, and what makes you excited about getting creative (all of which ultimately result in a boost in productivity — but without the guilt and stress!).

Well-being: Sometimes we find it hard to write or feel blocked because we’re not actually listening to what our brains and bodies need. Or we’re trying our damndest to proceed in a way that doesn’t actually suit us. So let’s figure out how to balance your writing goals with your well-being in both the short-term and long-term.

Suitable for: Any writer who’s in need of a creative shake-up, a literary shoulder to wail on, a gentle kick up the bum, or who just wants to tailor their writing practice into an integral part of their life.

This tailored coaching package includes:

• Prepwork: Send me excerpts, outlines, contextual info (up to 5,000 words), and any initial questions you have, and we can do some groundwork and chat via email ahead of your session.

• One-to-one coaching sessions: Choose from 1.5 hrs or 3 hrs of personalised coaching from the dropdown. These can be spread across multiple sessions (45 mins - 1.5 hr) if necessary. Online sessions are via Zoom/Google Meet, or if you’re local to Brighton I can meet you in person.

• Post-meeting report: A detailed write up of everything we’ve discussed, feedback on any work you’ve shared, and a comprehensive plan of action!

After the coaching sessions you’ll emerge a new writer, with fresh clarity around what and how you like to write, how you work most effectively, how to deal with blockages, and how to balance up your creative pursuits with whatever life throws at you.

Further info and details on arranging dates/times that suit you will be sent out after booking.
