Work with an established Author & Instructor
Make what's meaningful to you, meaningful to your readers
I offer a variety of writing circles, classes, coaching and mentoring based on my experience as a published author and experienced educator. I apply unique approaches in my work with writers that involves both a psychological and contextual framework. What this means is that you will tap into your deepest resources to both experience yourself as a writer and to get your message on the page in a meaningful way.
The Writer's Sherpa Coaching & Mentoring
Sherpa-coaching
In this monthly one-to-one program, I consult and work on 20 pages deeply for first round and up to two more times during your month. I also consult with you via phone, Skype, phone and email (up to an hour Skype and phone per month). 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/week 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. This is a personal, one to one experience that begins with a free 20 minute consultation.. Learn more.
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, email and/or Skype. I review up to 5 pages a month (with light consultation-editing), 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 cognitive-behavoral practices that help us live, create and write forward. I will give you personalized writing prompts, readings and explorations. This is typically a six month commitment but I can also do a 4 month version. Learn more.

“The Writer’s Consultation Circle has so many accessible layers conducive to my writing. Being paired with a writing partner has urged me to keep moving forward with my book as we share pieces and offer general feedback to each other. We also hold each other accountable for our daily writing practices. The larger circle of participants provides an energy vital to the success of my writing pilgrimage. Their collective stories and intentions create inspiration for my own stories and intention. And Julie as the facilitator of this group awards me such a personal experience of the entire writing process. With her intuitive teaching style and attention to both the individual and collective processes and journeys, I have experienced great leaps in my writer’s life.” ~ Diane Ludeking
