Kat, London
Which matches your experience?
-
Unlock
You’ve never done this. You don’t know where to start. You need to guidance to to uncover your potential. You feel inexperienced - but you also have this idea that won’t leave you alone. You feel nervous - but you’re also ready to try something new.
-
Improve
You’ve been working on something for a while - but now you’ve hit a block. You feel your technique needs work. Or maybe you just need an accountability framework. I’ll help you to hone your skills and make consistent progress towards your goals.
-
Complete
You’ve completed a draft. You want to move to publication. But first: you need a sense of what’s working and what’s not working. I can be your first reader, provide in-depth feedback and streamline the redrafting process.
What support do you need?
-
Coaching
You want a 1-2-1 that can be taught mentorship or a structured discussion. Learn new skills, use appointments as motivation to drive your progress or use the time as co-working sessions: use the time to write and benefit from immediate feedback.
-
Editorial Services
You want feedback on your manuscript or a larger extract of your work. You can choose to receive this in a written report, via Loom video or over Zoom. Please note, before a complete read I always request a chapter to ensure this is the right option for you.
-
Combination
You want both! We can structure the process to suit your unique goals and requirements.
How do you work best?
-
Casual
You want flexibility. Or you’re a beginner who has yet to discover ‘how you work.’ Maybe you need a one-off to fix a problem or ask a question. Consider a Taster or, if you’ve already started writing, look at the Story M.O.T. service.
-
Consistent
You want structure. And flexibility. Consider a bundle of three sessions. A small commitment that provides momentum with bookings to suit your schedule. Higher value than P.A.Y.G., offering reduced rates and no expiry.
-
Confident
You are going to DO THIS. You want steady progress. Accountability. A skills and technique glow-up. Request a custom programme or course, just for you. The design is FREE, allowing you to peek into the future with no pressure. Best value with game-changing transformations. Fully flexible, no expiry.
“If you want a mentor who cuts straight to what matters with warmth and expertise, choose Melanie. The investment has paid dividends I never imagined possible.”
— Lisa, France
