Are you lacking clarity in your writing and in your writing career?

You need a writing coach.

Why use a writing coach?

When you know that you need to get in shape the right way, you hire a trainer. If you’ve noticed that your health isn’t what it could be, you hire a nutritionist. If your back hurts, you visit a chiropractor. Feeling sad? You book an appointment with a therapist. Skin problems? Off to the dermatologist you go. It’s a no-brainer, right?   

Yet so many of us who are having fundamental problems with our writing never think of calling in a professional. Many of us hope that our friends, or our writing group, or even those “helpful” folks on Facebook boards, will give us that crucial dose of wisdom… but usually, that just results in more confusion.  

 We’re out to change that. 

When you’re stuck, you really need someone with a critical eye to get you out of your rut. What you really need is a professional. Someone kind, compassionate, objective, and supportive, to guide you.  

 Talking to a coach who will listen and help you to come up with solutions that work can save you lots of anguish and time. It can mean saving on your editing costs as well, by catching certain potential issues before they become a major problem.
