Writing Coach

I offer coaching services to writers who need help moving their projects forward.

I worked on my published creative works, including my debut novel, The Cine Star Salon, while balancing a day job (or two) and other commitments. I understand the challenges that come with carving time for creative pursuits and staying on track until the finish line.

If you have a writing project that needs a big push, I would love to hear about it. I offer a free 20-minute chat to learn more about your project, working style, expectations, etc. If it sounds like a great fit, we will proceed as follows:

  • You choose how long we will work together. Packages are for four (4), six (6), or eight (8) weeks. Please note that I require a 50% deposit at the beginning of our contract.
  • At the start of each week, you will submit a 2500-word passage from your work in progress.
  • Within the same week, we will arrange a 45-minute Zoom meeting/phone call during which we will discuss your submission, challenges, questions, etc. My feedback will be tailored according to your work and specific concerns you’ve brought forward.
  • In the following weeks, you can send me a revised version of the earlier submission or a new passage.
  • During our time together, I’m within reach by email to answer questions, celebrate wins, and help keep you accountable, if requested.
  • We will discuss next steps about your work before the end of our contract.

Rates: 4 Weeks – $640 | 6 Weeks – $900 | 8 Weeks – $1,100

Leah has worked with me on two of my pieces and both times her suggestions and ideas have transformed my writing. I believe that one of my creative non-fiction stories got published in a literary magazine because of her suggestions. Work with her! She is the best. Karen Segal
