Coaching

Having a writing coach at your side relieves the burden of writing alone.

It means having someone to bounce ideas off, untangle problems with, and guide you towards happily and healthily navigating the process of non-fiction writing.

You may have been writing for years, or perhaps you feel new to it all. Either way, I’m here to help you on your path. 

I will invite you to push yourself, and to continually assess your work, your writing and your direction. Sometimes the process can feel uncomfortable, but don’t worry: that is the feeling of growth!

What you learn in our 1:1 sessions will help your current project, as well as equip you to tackle future projects.

Every person and every project is unique, so there is no set formula for our sessions.

Whatever your obstacles, we’ll find a way.

As we deep dive into your work, you’ll gain practical and relevant skills, increase confidence, reach a whole new depth of knowledge, and have the opportunity to immediately apply all this to your writing practice. Depending on your project’s complexity and length, you may end up with a polished, ready-to-publish piece of text — or at least be well on your way.

Using your current project as a training ground, we can:

  • clarify your goals and intentions

  • break down the overwhelming whole into simple steps

  • plan and structure your writing

  • hone your author intuition

  • refine your working methods

  • identify gaps and fluff in your message

  • practice your writing skills

  • develop your individual writing style

  • learn about grammar and writing rules (including which rules are best to follow and when we can break or bend them)

  • and find solutions to any other challenge along the way.

“Jessie’s ability to analyze and summarize the thoughts and ideas that [my co-author and I] brought up immediately made the whole project seem more achievable. The discussion also helped clarify my own thoughts, as well as better understand my co-author’s thoughts and expectations from the project.

The way Jessie interacts from a place of genuine curiosity and non-judgement makes one feel at ease to share and develop thoughts. Also, keeping things on track — balancing between brain-storming and moving forward with concrete actions — is really motivating. It feels like the book will be a by-product of a journey to discovering something really significant.”

“When I approached Jess with the idea of developing my writing voice, I felt self conscious. Working with Jess improved the quality and style of my texts but, more important, it gave me confidence. Through the sessions, a bigger project emerged and I would have never come this far without her guidance and support. (Thanks Jess!!)

I consider the coaching sessions a helpful hand in an inner search, since developing my writing helps me to develop my thoughts and grow. This all sounds serious but I actually consider working on my writing a personal treat as I find it relaxing and fun!”
