I see MENTORING IN WRITING as a holistic journey, facilitated to help you develop your unique voice and refine your writing practice.
Should you choose to work with me, your journey will be tailored to align with your current needs and who you are as a writer.
Why Would You Need a Mentor?
The voice of a mentor is an essential archetype in every story. I use "voice" deliberately, as a mentor doesn't always need to have a physical presence. The writers I read, most of whom I've never met in person, were the mentors I learned from the most. Heroines and heroes receive guidance in myriad ways. Writers, too, embark on a lifelong journey, often seeking a roadmap or the wisdom of a teacher at various stages.
To cater to where you might find yourself on your writing journey, I have structured my mentoring program into three distinct categories: Lighthouse, Chariot, and Waves. However, the specific design of your program is crafted collaboratively to meet your unique needs. I meet you exactly where you are, sprinkle you with some pixie dust , and together, we advance toward your goals.
The investment in personal mentoring varies, depending on the pace of our journey together, and can be adjusted to fit your budget. This is what we talk about on our INTRODUCTORY CALL.
Lighthouse, Chariot or Waves?
LIGHTHOUSE
Is for Radical Expolration
In the LIGHTHOUSE program, I will help you transform the overwhelming need to tell a story into a real first draft. This is the part of the journey when we play with elements of water and earth.
We will dive into the ocean of creativity and swim on, exploring your potential. Even when I push you beyond what you expected, I will be your safe Lighthouse on the shore.
CHARIOT
Is for Mastery and Triumph
In the CHARIOT program, we evoke the fire element to make art. We master the craft. We master our resistance. And what is most important, we learn how to govern the creative fire.
Chariot is the most intense part of the process, requiring dedication, trust, and patience for the inevitable future of trial and error.
WAVES
Is for Creative Rebelion
In the WAVES program, I work with writers who are comfortable with their voices and have mastered the craft but want to explore new possibilities.
HOW CAN WE DO THIS DIFFERENTLY is the signature question of my soul and the core of my mission as a writing teacher. WAVES are my synthesis of all five elements (in Ayurveda, we distinguish ether or space as the fifth element in nature) and the synthesis of everything I absorbed over 25 years of learning creative writing.
