Not Hitting Your Goals?
Working with a coach is a commitment to yourself and your writing. Our coaching services are grounded in entwining empowerment and accessibility with accountability, craft, and community. Together, we will bring the story that you have always wanted to tell to the next stage so that you can share it with the world.
We are queer, neurodivergent writers who are looking to make writing and finishing stories with professional support within the reach of all who want it. By making the best parts of an MFA program available for a fraction of the cost in a more flexible format, our program is truly guided by you and your goals.
Whatever those end goals are - if you are just starting a story, struggling to finish one, or approaching the editing and querying process - we are ready to meet you where you are to support and propel you toward it.
Our coaching services are right for you if:
You get bogged down by process and want to find better methods
You are ready to make writing a priority after struggling to balance it with day-to-day life
You care about integrating concepts of diversity and inclusion into your writing
You have found you work best with external accountability to reach your goals
You want to connect with other writers
You aim to improve your craft
You plan to commit to your writing
You need another set of eyes to figure out the “what’s next?” in your story
