Coaching for writers

The writer’s journey can be a lonely one with lots of twists, turns and derailments along the way. With the stresses and strains of professional and family life, it can be hard to maintain focus with your writing.

Working with a coach can help you to stay on track or help you to find a new commitment to your path whether that be renewed creativity, a reinvestment of time, publications or exposure for your writing.

“Through her coaching, Beverley has helped me to pursue my dream of becoming freelance.”

— Anne Grange, Writer and Editor

Alongside my work as a writer and facilitator, I also work one-to-one with individuals as a coach. I trained as a coach with RD1st in 2012 and am a member of the Association for Coaching.

I specialise in coaching writers and other creative people, but I am able to offer coaching on all aspects of a client’s personal and professional life, whatever their skills, goals and circumstances.

I also have a particular interest in helping people to move forward following bereavement or other trauma.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a form of self-directed learning which enables you to reflect on what you want to achieve in your life and to make concrete plans to achieve your goals.

The coach is there to work alongside you to help you to uncover the next steps towards creating the life that you want to live.

I have personally found coaching to be extremely valuable in my own life, for my career as a writer, coach and facilitator and in helping me to rebuild following the loss of my love.

“I knew I had a story to tell, but I realised I needed help to shape it. Through working with Beverley, my writing and confidence has come on in leaps and bounds. I would never have felt confident to say “I’m a writer” but I can now.

I have written over 32,000 words and the book is becoming more real as the weeks pass. I genuinely couldn’t have come this far without her support.

I cannot thank or recommend Beverley enough”

Mentoring and manuscript feedback

Sometimes, as writers, we get so close to our work that we can’t see the wood for the trees, or find the path through the forest. We can be passionate about the stories that we want to tell but there comes a point when we need to focus on the reader’s experience of the work.
