Guidance and support in academic writing was something I wished for since my undergrad studies, but never got. It was only during my doctoral studies, when I realized that writing coaching is a thing. A great thing, actually!
Of course, over the time, I developed my own strategies and ways of getting things written. But I still think there is a lot of people, who might need a little help with that. Or maybe just some inspiration. Not to be losing time with learning through their mistakes and reinventing the academic writing wheel.
How can I support you in your writing? I offer individual coaching sessions, workshops and writing retreats.
Individual sessions
Do you feel like your writing could be optimized? Do you face challenges which hold you back from getting your project written?
Book a free session to see how you like my approach. No strings attached.
I specialize in supporting academic writers, people writing in foreign languages and people with care-work responsibilities.
During a coaching session, we will find a solution that fits your individual writing style and is applicable beyond your current writing project. I believe in the power of good writing habits and process-oriented approach, which brings you (back) to the joy of writing. Well aware of the fact that our writing is shaped by factors beyond our desk, my advice takes these issues into consideration.
What is writing coaching and how does it work?
Usually, we meet for a short, 30-40min online session, where we can talk about a specific issue you deal with in your writing. Ideally, it is linked to a particular writing project of yours. You leave the meeting with strategies and tips you can immediately apply to your writing process.
For whom?
For example, for those, who struggle to move from reading to writing.
For those, who fear the blank page.
For those, who write in a foreign language.
For those, who need to edit or finalize their text.
For all those, who could use some support in their writing, because it can be a lonely thing.
To put it simply, writing coaching can be useful for everyone who writes and feels that the process could be optimized.
Apart from single sessions, I offer longer-term support as well. Ideal for those working on extensive writing projects. In addition to strategies for your writing challenges, we can work on issues related to planning, motivation and create accountability mechanism that help you write better and with a good feeling. You can also get feedback to your texts. Contact me to get more information about coaching packages.
