One-to-One Support for Writers
Cathy Grindrod is a trained mentor and life coach. She works with individual writers one to one and tailors sessions to each client’s particular writing requirements. Sessions can be booked alongside or instead of Writer Highway course participation.
​
One to one work can be used to:
• take stock of your writing life
• set goals and gain information and advice about opportunities
• support you to undertake or finish a particular writing project
• gain extra writing tuition in particular area
• gain detailed feedback on pieces of writing
• gain an overview of a few pieces and discuss potential areas for development
• support you with performance techniques or reading aloud
• build confidence or discuss areas of difficulty
​
All one to one sessions consider your writing and any writing-related issues in the context of your own individual and unique needs and wider life balance.
​
It is also possible to book a standard coaching package, which can be adapted to your particular needs.
