writing mentoring

This is the option to go for if you’d like the equivalent of an MA Writing experience. This involves being set writing exercises, getting feedback, learning about how to find an agent or publisher, or how to self-publish, as well as tips on self-promotion. Over a period of 3 terms I’ll see you through a book length project in the same way an MA manuscript tutor sees their students through their MA.

Mentoring can be booked by the session, or by the term. Each term comprises of 10 one-hour sessions, either in person, or via Zoom/ Skype. One term will help you through one third of a book-length project, around 30,000 words, as well as offering all the benefits listed above. If you decide to go on to a 2nd or 3rd term you’ll be invited to do so with a discount, so best just to book the one term here for now.

A single one-hour session may involve different activities, including a guided writing exercise, a discussion about how to sell your writing or find an agent, feedback discussion on up to 3000 words of your writing, tips on developing your social media profiles, etc. We can discuss in advance what you want your single session to include if you’re not able to commit to a whole term. Every writer will want different things from their session or term. I’ll facilitate you in getting what you need from our sessions.
