What is a literary coach?
Simply, someone who will help pull the words out of you. In more complex terms, a literary coach works with you one on one and will help you define what you are writing, help you focus your works intent, assist in developing the work including character descriptions/purposes, scene definitions, story transitions, dialogue, personality, ministry/therapy component, fact presentation and other areas dependent upon what you are writing. Sometimes a coach’s role may be to help an author take a poetry collection and weave it into a cohesive book; take teaching, preaching or workshop notes and mold them into a book, or take journal entries and help the writer weave them into a testimony or self-help journal.

I can work with a writer from the idea stage up to publication, or may jump in mid-stream (at the writers block stage) and take you through completion. Or, I may just help in the development of the outline and project summary or in critiquing/editing a completed project. Perhaps your need is to just have me analyze and assess your work from a literary instructive angle and from the angle of a reader.

My approach as a coach is to make the writing process click for you where you are, using what you enjoy. I've been known to build homework assignments around NBA games. Have authors role play with their characters; or even role play with me. We play the book club game so that you can evaluate your work's feasibility based on a reader's perspective. Plus there are those darn FLEX TIME WRITING ASSIGNMENTS that come out of nowhere. Come on - let me be your writing coach.
