Book a discovery call with me today, and find out how I can help.
A discovery call is a thirty minute chat about what you need help with. It’s very informal, and is like having coffee with a friend.
We will talk about anything you like to do with your writing. I use my experience as a creative writing tutor to both offer possible solutions to issues, as well as coaching you to understand why you are experiencing the issue and how we can move forward.
I also set tasks outside of our time together so that you can work toward your goals. All our conversations are confidential.
