Writing mentorship

“... encouraging and respectful, direct and bracing”

— Amanda, mentee

Writing can be a lonely business! Perhaps you want a second opinion on a draft, or maybe you’re in need of a coach to advise on an application or develop a manuscript.

Mentorship with me can work hour by hour, or project by project. It can include draft feedback, career discussion and a listening support for the uncertainties of creative practice. I bring industry knowledge as an established author, critic and editor, and extensive experience as a supervisor of long-form creative writing projects including book manuscripts.

Mentorship consultation can take place from anywhere virtually (video call and/or emailed feedback), or for those in Central Victoria and Melbourne a blend of virtual and in-person may be arranged.

If ad hoc hours sound like you, get in touch for a fee schedule (including discount for workshop participants) and to share a bit about your needs.

Some people are happy with an open-ended journey while others have a specific outcome in mind. For those who prefer structure, I suggest a mentorship plan that offers a fixed timeframe, expected outcomes and a discounted flat fee. Drop me a line for more info.
