One Life Coaching
does your writing need some love? LET me help.
One of my greatest joys as an editor and writing professional is to work one on one with other writers.
As a writing coach, I offer my clients sensitive, professional feedback designed to meet their own personal writing goals. Every client relationship is different. Many clients I meet on a regular basis to discuss work and provide feedback. Others are looking for more particular strategies, like preparing a manuscript for submission to agents or publishers. Coaching might include support structuring or planning a book, developing and enhancing an ongoing writing practise, troubleshooting a complicated project, or getting particular feedback and editing advice on a shorter piece of writing. It may simply be a way to hold yourself accountable to a longer term project with regularly scheduled check-ins.
This is an excellent way to work together if you’re not yet ready for a full manuscript evaluation or if you simply need some one to one support. Whatever your writing and editing needs, as a writing coach I’m here to lend you decades of experience in the writing and publishing worlds, a background in adult education, and a curious and sensitive approach to helping you explore your writing.
Each season, I work with a very limited number of writers. Coaching rates are available by the hour ($110 + HST), with discounted rates for pre-paid packages of six, ten, and twenty hours. Working times are flexible.

Trevor acted as a developmental editor on one of my stories. What struck me most was not just the thoroughness of his critique, his copious notes, but the penetrating insight, the encouragement to go deeper into a piece that I thought, quite mistakenly, I understood.
