Your Writing Companion is here to offer support, encouragement and friendly advice
Are you interested in writing but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re already writing but would like to talk to someone about your work. If so, I’m here to help.
The Trouble With Writing…
Writing is a creative and rewarding experience, but also a solitary one. And while there are a wealth of resources for writers at the touch of a keyboard, they’re inevitably generic and not focused on your specific needs.
Introducing Your Writing Companion…
I’m a self-taught published author of novels, short stories, flash fiction and poetry. Everything I know I have learned through trial and error, tenacity and finding people who can help along the way. Now I want to help other writers achieve their goals, however modest or ambitious they may be.
It doesn’t matter what you’re writing or why
It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or have been writing for some time. It doesn’t matter if you’re writing for your own pleasure, or hope to be published one day. I will be Your Writing Companion, a friendly source of support, encouragement and advice.
I’ll listen when your writing isn’t going well,
and cheer you on when it is.
I’ll help you set realistic goals and achieve them. I’ll provide informal feedback focused on developing and improving
your writing.
If you’re just beginning to explore your creative writing ambitions, I can offer useful hints and tips.
In many ways, the beginning of your writing journey is the most exciting because anything is possible. If you’re a more experienced writer looking for ways to get your work in front of readers, I can offer first-hand experience and advice.
How It Works
In order to ensure your writing gets the attention it deserves, I prefer to work one-to-one. I offer face to face meetings, either in person or online (via Zoom, Facetime or similar). Arrangements are flexible to suit your availability, with a flat fee and no contract. The first 20-minute session is free, so if you would like to find out more, complete the contact form or email me at colettedartford@hotmail.com
