It's time to take yourself seriously as a creative artist...

Our poetry coaches, Heidi Williamson and Julia Webb are ideally placed to guide you, whether you are a beginner to poetry writing or a published poet seeking career development and help with your latest collection. They can support you with feedback on the work, but also offer coaching on the broader aspects of the writing life.

We offer a tailored version of our ‘Full Mentor’ programme for poets and have designed a version of the programme specifically to suit the needs of those writing poetry.

This six month programme includes:

• Editorial feedback on a single batch of up to 20 pages of poetry 
• One one-hour coaching session per month, taken by telephone or Zoom
• Email support between sessions
• Membership of The Writing Coach clients-only Facebook group
• Editorial feedback on 4 additional poems a month
• Additional half hour per month for editorial feedback discussions
• This equates to reading and annotation of around 44 pages of poetry

Your coach will make notes, consider your work, and give you in-depth editorial feedback during your calls. They will also return your manuscript with detailed notes.

Coaching and mentoring is conducted by telephone or Zoom and includes ongoing email support between sessions. After each coaching session, you are invited to submit a Review Form to confirm your action plan.

Our coaching can also address many areas of your life and your writing, including inspiration, motivation, writer’s block, productivity, time management, working methods, self-marketing, confidence, submissions and publishing.

We are looking forward to working with you...
