The Writing Sherpa
Sherpa-coaching
In this monthly one-to-one program, I critique and work on 20 pages deeply for first round and up to two more times (lightly) during your month. I am available for consultation via phone, Skype and email (up to an 45 minutes on Skype or/and phone). Sherpa Coaching is $145 per month and I ask that people commit to three months, because I only take on 3 in-depth clients at a time. You will get your 20 pages within 4 business days and then you can work on them and get them back to me to review and comment on twice within each month. As a comparison, critiquing 20 pages is typically a $120 (6 dollars a page), so the Sherpa Coaching is a great value. I will recommend readings, writing prompts and ways to improve your narrative and message. I help make your meaningful experiences meaningful to your future readers. Get a free initial consultation or Sign up and pay online.
One-to-One (Up Close & Personal) Sherpa-coaching
Experience a transformative shift in your writing with a one-to-one with your Writing Sherpa. Together we go over 20 pages of your writing project for a 1 1/2 to 2 hours. A rare opportunity to get up close and personal strategy and insight into your writing and your craft.
"My first one to one consult with Julie went beyond my expectations. Julie identified areas that fell short of good communication with the reader. She massaged and enhanced my clarity of message in numerous ways. I left expanded about what was possible for my book and filled with ways to improve my writing. And, I felt I had a true ally in my quest to write well and publish." –Rev. Jody Whelden, Board Certified Chaplain, Retired, Speaker & Author: Heart Centered Intuitive Living. www.jodywhelden.com
Sherpa-mentoring
In this monthly one-to-one program, you set a writing intention at the start of the 6 months and then we work together via phone or Skype. I review pages, mentor you by checking in every week, and work with you to monitor your writing intentions and progress. I also make suggestions and help you move forward with your writing. I use evidence-based practices and writing prompts to move your life, creativity and writing forward. This is typically a six month commitment for $50 a month ($300 total) but I can also do a 4 month version ($200 total). Get a free initial consultation or Sign up and pay online.

"Julie was an invaluable help in getting me started on my memoir. Her concepts, especially that of Pivotal Moments, were especially useful in framing the events of my life into a story that led to successful pitches to literary agents." –Charlotte Mitchell Smith

World into Word…
My writing students and clients refer to me as their Writing Sherpa. I am equipped to help you trek your writing pilgrimage, no matter how high. I have worked with writers for over 25 years one-to-one, over the phone and in group settings. Many are now published writers with successful books, blogs and articles. I offer a monthly writing consultation circle for those ready to commit to a year on a writing project.
Want to hire me to work with you on your writing project? I offer a dynamic and personal process where I focus on 20 pages of your project for a month as your Sherpa-Coach. I also offer a lighter approach as your Sherpa-Mentor. See below.
Living the writer’s life means to explore our own lives, create worlds, and share our wisdom and imaginings on the page through the written word. Check out my weekly blog for writers: All Write Wednesdays: World Into Word.
There is no formula to writing, but you can create an architecture to which you can write, and, create a lifestyle in which you find yourself writing. There are no universal rules to the craft, but there are principles you can use to write. My main focus as a Writing Sherpa is to help turn your meaningful experiences into a meaningful read. Whether you are increasing your awareness and creativity through journal writing, working on a book idea, want to increase your creative energy, or want to know how to get published; I am here to guide you.
Join me in my popular online course: The Initiated Writer, in one of my writing consultation circles, or my writing workshops and offerings through Continuing Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I offer a popular week-long summer writing workshop at Write by the Lake in Madison through the UW.

“Julie Tallard Johnson is a master mentor. She is incredibly skilled at pointing you in the right direction at the right time; offering resources that not only help but inspire; helping you find whatever it is you need within your own being; and being true to her own authentic being. Julie walks her talk like no one else I know: her integrity is impeccable. I’ve used her books for guidance, participated in her workshops and courses, been mentored, and had individual sessions with her. All of them helped me immensely in getting to know myself, being true to my soul’s calling, living an authentic existence, and even loosening up! I don’t know what I did in a former life to get to work with Julie, but I am just grateful I didn’t pass up the opportunity. I give her my highest recommendation.” ~ Prudence Tippins, poet, teacher
