Our writer-coaches consult with our clients (via Zoom/phone) to coach and provide them with support to meet their writing, self-editing or editing goals.

Many of our clients are NDIS participants, are neurodivergent and/or have disabilities that make it difficult for them to write, self-edit, stay focused on their writing or stay motivated to continue with their writing project. Other clients who do not have a disability are seeking writing and self-editing coaching – in structuring their sentences or whole piece of writing, grammar, punctuation, and sometimes motivation.

When we provide coaching and support to any client:

•  we always put their needs first when working out a plan and working with them.
• we are flexible during the course of coaching sessions in changing the plan to best suit their goals. 
• we are nurturing and honest when working with all our clients, sensitive to their needs and committed to helping them grow and reach their goals.
