WHAT IS A WRITING COACH?
A coach doesn’t play, but does improve the playing. When you or your business has writing to do, I can help you get it done more quickly. With guaranteed quality. And the benefits of writing guidance go beyond a specific project. The more you learn about writing, the more clarity and impact you’ll bring to succeeding projects. A good writing coach gives you tools that stay sharp.
WHY A WRITING COACH?
To Improve General Quality
A writing coach can be a wise investment if the general quality of your company writing seems confusing, dull, uninformative or less than effective.
The poor quality may be due to factors such as:
- not enough time to write well;
- undeveloped writing skills;
- the wrong idea of what writing is or should be (a surprisingly common obstacle).
Whatever the reason, a good writing coach can:
- identify the block and get past it,
- better clarify the writing objective,
- help aim the writer’s focus,
- instill good editing habits.
For Specific Projects
Besides upgrading general writing quality, a writing coach can also make sure a specific writing project gets done on time with flying colors. A looming deadline can block people who usually write well enough. It’s worse if there’s a lot riding on the project. As an professional writer, such pressure doesn’t slow me, and I can impart that mindset to the less experienced. With my guidance — and my own writing if necessary — the project will be done well. That very guarantee is often enough to free company writers to do their usual excellent work — only better.
