Writing Coach

The connection between creativity and chaos is evident to me. Out of every chaotic moment, something creative can come. In every creative endeavour something chaotic lives. It’s what we work with. Art is risky.

People create for lots of reasons, among them: to explore, witness, reject, praise, express, wrestle with, and make sense of themselves and their world. Writers and other artists generally do this alone.

This coaching, while not therapy, borders therapeutic conversations. I work with you to clarify what it is you want to say, and to direct you towards your unfolding material in a way that supports the process.

The format is often a combination of online and in-person meetings. Single sessions can have powerful effect too. While my own area is poetry, I work with prose writers and visual artists. People engaged in all media are welcome.
