Let’s take your idea to the finish line
–> Hire me as your writing coach.
My superpower is an ability to deeply listen and draw out the best ideas from clients. I help spark ideas and build strategies.
I have collaborated with bestselling authors and aspiring writers new to the craft. Their projects spanned a range of genres, including historical fiction, literary fiction, memoir, paranormal romance, poetry, science fiction, and nonfiction.
I love helping writers finish what they start.
Writing Coaching
As your coach, I am committed to supporting you throughout your writing process. Whether you need help starting and finishing a book, staying disciplined, organizing a messy project, or aligning your voice to your vision, I’m your guy.
How Frequently Should We Meet?
On average, I have found that biweekly meetings provide the ideal meeting cadence for most writers.
If your writing project is a top priority and you have ample time to work on it, we can meet weekly to keep the momentum going. Whatever your needs, I will work with you to establish a schedule that suits you best.
What Do You Get?
To help you stay in breakthrough mode, you’ll get regular manuscript support via email/chat, document annotations and commentary, plus focused one-hour phone consultations.
Throughout the process, we’ll maintain an open channel of communication.
How to Get Started
Send me an email at offgridauthor (at) gmail.com and tell me briefly:
- What are you working on? What’s your project about?
- What would you like help with? Where do you want to take your manuscript?
During our first call, we will discuss your creative project. If working together feels like a good fit, I’ll provide you with a cost estimate for my services. Unlike many “writing coaches,” I aim to keep my rates affordable, and I offer a sliding scale.
I choose to work with writers because it’s uniquely rewarding to play a part in the creative process.
Stephen has a unique capacity for listening that allows him to understand the feeling that I’m struggling to communicate, and sometimes blindly seeking, in my writing. On many occasions, with a few insightful words he’s helped me clarify and amplify my connection to my true and powerful voice.
