Coaching for Writers
Do you need to structure a manuscript, find its core, detect its flaws, revise and edit it? Do you have good ideas but not the means to articulate them? Are you afraid of writer’s block? Do you write too slowly to make your living as a writer? Are you afraid of the blank page? Do you find it difficult to find a work rhythm for your days, weeks, and months?
I can help you deal with all these issues, in face-to-face meetings or online. I’m an experienced writer with several books under my belt. My nonfiction books are published by Oxford University Press and my novels by Random House. The Integrated Writer is currently under representation at Writers House, a leading literary agency in New York City. I’d be more than glad to lead you through exercises on a one-to-one basis or in a small group of like-minded writers. Feel free to e-mail me.
