Mentoring, Critiquing & Editing

Mentoring

Over the past few years, one thing I’ve discovered is how much I enjoy mentoring and encouraging others to pursue their creative passions. Whether you’re 9 or 39 or 90, if you write, or dream of writing, I would be delighted to journey with you. This will look different for each writer, but could include some or all of the following:

  • help you determine your writing goals and how to reach them;
  • inspire you to stop procrastinating and get started;
  • encourage you to persevere when the road is difficult;
  • provide accountability;
  • offer feedback on your writing and how to develop it further;
  • suggest books, articles and other resources;
  • inform you about publishing opportunities and competitions;
  • assist you to prepare your manuscript for a publisher or competition;
  • connect you to other writers through twitter, Facebook and local writing organisations.

If you think having a mentor would benefit your writing journey, please contact me.

Critiquing and Editing

I also offer a range of critiquing and editing services:

  • overview critique/manuscript assessment;
  • first ten pages critique;
  • detailed structural critique;
  • line by line edit;
  • proof-reading.

Please contact me if you would like to know more.
