Everyone in a coaching program receives:
- Calls: 1:1 calls take place on Zoom via chat, voice, or video chat. You get practical advice to maximize your strengths and address challenges as well as encouragement and honest input. We may share screens, talk strategy, or navigate the complicated publishing industry together.
- Emails: Check-in emails are perfect for quick encouragement, accountability, or questions.
- Resources: Free resources are available for everyone in a coaching program. Tier 2 & 3 gain access to personalized resources, where I add insight specific to generate solutions for your project or address your concerns.
- Community: Each package comes with BeWrit’s Writing Community access for group coaching, support, and asking random questions.
- Goal-setting & accountability: Not only do you gain an accountability partner, I’ll help you set and track actionable writing goals (long and short-term). My advice may include productivity and time management tricks, personalized to keep your creativity flowing.
- Homework: Designed for regular motivation and writing craft advice, your homework could look like personalized info and exercise worksheets on dialogue, character development, story flow, etc. Or, homework may include suggestions for recapturing your joy in writing.
- Editing: The level of editing you need depends on your writing. Every package obtains final proofreading before publication as well.
- Review & critique: At major project milestones, you’ll receive a written review and critique on your project’s progress. This is when we’ll assess and make any necessary changes to your action plan.
- Fact-check: Before you submit your work, the final editing stages should include a fact-check to ensure all quotes or information is correct.
- Organization: Editing sometimes requires re-organization, where I move paragraphs and sentences around to help the story in terms of flow or comprehension.
- Formatting: Whether you publish in print or e-formats, your manuscript must be formatted before publication. I might remove line breaks and extra spaces, or re-arrange centered blocks of text.
- Marketing, Publishing, or Author Platform advice: After you write a book, you need to start thinking about sales. I help you get ready for the publishing process, offer social media advice to market your book, and help you create an author platform to get your book in front of readers. I’ll even suggest agents and publishers you might want to work with, depending on your book.
