Coaching & Mentoring
Let's get writing now ...
If you've always wanted to write, for your own enjoyment or to share with others, I encourage you to take the first step.
I've helped many authors navigate the writing process and achieve their creative goals.
As a writing mentor, I'll equip you with the tools and techniques you need, from brainstorming ideas to structuring, writing, editing your work, and reaching the finish line.

Choose the level of mentoring that's right for you.
Mentoring sessions are available at The Writing Place in Arkles Bay, Whangaparaoa and on Zoom or Facebook Messenger.
Please contact me to arrange your session. I'll work in with you to select a day and time that suits your schedule.
A one to one session with me can really help if you:
have an idea for a project but don't know where or how to get started
have a project on the go already and need some guidance to navigate a few roadblocks or settle some speed wobbles
need help collating or organising existing writing or ideas into a cohesive whole
want to talk through ideas you may have about a writing project
need someone cheering you on from the sidelines
need a quiet, creative, dedicated space to gather your thoughts
Choose the option that best suits your needs.
It's as easy as ABC. The one and two hour sessions can also be taken on Zoom or we can work out a mentoring schedule that suits you.
A. One-hour Writing Session
Cost: $70
Spend an hour with me going through your writing and project issues.
One hour session where we review your writing and come up with solutions to common issues such as where and how to start
B. Two-Hour Writing Session
Cost: $120
A two hour intensive where we dissect your writing project, take it apart and put it back together again with a pathway for progress.
C. Four-Hour Writing Session
Cost: $225
This is a full-on, deep creative immersion where we focus exclusively and intensively on your project. Recommended if you have a project already underway and need some serious and full on effort to get to the finish line or make a solid start on a solid idea. This session can be done on Zoom as one 4-hour session or two 2-hour sessions.
A Testimonial from Helen
"Jane has been helping me with my writing for the last twelve months. I started my novel when I attended a fiction writer's course. I then got writer's block.
"Jane has helped trigger the exploration of the characters in my work.. She asks what is happening with the characters, the plot and we are working on a first person narrative rather than third person. She also helped me discover the real protagonist.
"These huge steps had stopped me from writing and I am now back in the flow thanks to Jane.
"Her tutoring is gentle, sensible and affirming.
"I am so glad I have this opportunity to run the work by her as it develops. She has an astute eye and every suggestion is from the reader's perspective and helps make the story more whole and readable.
"The writing would be substantially different if it wasn't for her capacity to observe the gaps and make sound suggestions.
"I recommend her skills to anyone who wishes to get on with their novel or memoir. She is a brave and gentle supporter of my writing and I feel I am in good and safe hands."
