Welcome to Write Here. My mission is to help creative writers find their voice and gain confidence in their writing. Services include workshops, coaching, mentoring, and copy editing. I use a flexible approach in working with clients to suit their individual needs. Together we will discover how you, as a unique individual, will best be inspired to reach your writing goals. My focus is primarily on new writers, writers who are stuck, or those who simply need to refill the creative well. My job will be to get you started or help get your words flowing again. My purpose is to offer inspiration, encouragement, and confidence. I'm always generous with positive feedback on your work and, if you ask, I will critique your writing, but always gently.
My services include:
* Group Workshops for six or more participants on a wide variety of topics (see Creative Writing Workshops page) primarily in the Portland, Oregon metro area. I will also travel to conduct workshops in your area. Contact me for details.
* One-on-one Workshops, either online or by phone.
* Writing Circles. I will conduct circles according to your specifications or help you create your own.
* Coaching and Mentoring. In coaching sessions I'll assign activities to keep you going in your work, stay on task, and reach your goals. In mentoring sessions, I do more listening, offering encouragement, and offering suggestions or direction.
*Copy Editing and Proofreading. Copy editing and proofreading include correction of punctuation, grammar, and spelling.
My fees are reasonable and my approach is flexible. Contact me to see how we might work together to reach your writing goals.
