WRITING COACHING + COURSES
BOOK A COACHING APPOINTMENT
Do you have questions about writing or publishing or just want to talk to someone about your abiding love for old timey bottlecaps?
I’M HERE FOR IT.
So you've got questions…
I love to meet with friends and strangers-who-become-friends to discuss their writing projects. We can do so over Facetime/Skype, or by phone. We can structure our meeting to cover specific bulletpoints or we can approach it as a loose, exploratory conversation.
But why would I want to work with you, Kendra?
For starters, I am an encourager at heart. Your goals become my goals. I am poised with pom-poms, ready to cheer for you to meet and exceed your ambitions, in whatever form they may take.
I am also a practiced freelance writer. My essays and reported articles have appeared in The Huffington Post, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post-On Parenting, Slate.com, and others.
Finally, I have a master’s in extension studies with an emphasis in journalism from Harvard University. I have a great network of editors and fellow writers whom I trust. I believe in the process of writing, revising, pitching and finally seeing your hard work pay off with your published byline for all to read. I also have navigated the rubbly road of earning fair payment for work provided. I can offer guidance about this, as well.
Some topics we might discuss:
- How do you land an agent? (I’ve worked with several).
- What are the first steps to building a freelance practice?
- Is self-publishing or traditional publishing right for me?
- What should I put in my non-fiction proposal?
- How do I pitch journalistic stories and essays to editors?
My consulting rate is $80/hour. If you’d like to buy a package of 5 hours, there is a discount.
I'll send you a follow-up e-mail with some notes and thoughts to summarize our discussion. There's no pressure to continue our hours together, but our initial consult (30 minutes for $40) should give you a flavor of how I work with my clients to try to help them articulate their goals, map out a plan, and fulfill their dreams. You can purchase your preferred session(s) below.
Not ready to hire a writing coach yet, but you know you want to try freelance writing? We can always meet for an initial consult, and discuss steps that may be better suited for your path!
Let’s chat about your writing/creative goals. This is a low-stakes conversation with no expectations or pressure to buy a coaching package. My aim is to be helpful, and to point you in a direction or toward next steps that will best serve your ambitions. We can meet via Facetime or Zoom.
