Need a Writing Coach?

Sometimes personal attention makes all the difference. I've helped many people improve their writing and conversational-media skills -- especially people who must write for their career but who are not primarily writers by training or inclination.

  • Are you having trouble organizing your thoughts, or choosing the right words?
  • Would you like for your staff to write more effectively and efficiently?
  • Do you need writing or publishing advice tailored to your needs and goals?
  • Do you need guidance in weblogging or other aspects of conversational media?

I can help you with any kind of nonfiction writing: reports, articles, weblogs, web site content, position statements, instructional or explanatory materials, and more.

Here's how it works...

HOW IT WORKS: I offer coaching services by the hour, over the phone. I review your content ahead of time and e-mail follow-up notes after each call.

We'll discuss your real, current projects. I'll help clarify your needs and goals; and your strengths and weaknesses. I'll give custom exercises and suggestions so you can put your new skills immediately into practice on real projects.

For employers seeking help for staff writers, I offer follow-up reporting on progress.

RATES: $90/hour for 1-5 hours. Discounts available for larger blocks. Organizations can purchase blocks of hours to be divided as desired among multiple writers. First three sessions must be paid in advance. Credit cards accepted via Paypal.

Free 20-minute phone consultation to discuss your particular needs: 303-554-5550

Comments

Amy, some good tips in this post, and they hit home for me as someone who's just launched a blog and is trying to build an audience. I also think that strategic comments should be made to blogs that are writing about you or your organization. Setting up "watch lists" through Technorati is a good way of monitoring what's being said about you and your blog, and I have a post about this on my blog: http://www.bryper.com/2006/05/02/growing-your-blogs-audience/
