Writing Consultation

For writers looking for customized conversation and feedback, we offer one-on-one consulting. Each session is a conversation and a collaboration: Choose from our menu of services or propose a more customized format; bring notes and seeds or a full-fledged text; meet with Paige, Miranda, or both. We draw on an expansive range of readings and writing tactics to help you find your project’s nascent threads and spin it into a more refined project.

The many ways we might collaborate with you include:

  • Offer guidance on everything from the planning stages to the finishing touches

  • Act as a kind of writing coach therapist, working through obstacles—both emotional and practical

  • Provide feedback on overall structure, character development, and prose

  • Read for tone, style, and affective impact

  • Help you find the right structure or form for your work

  • Engage the conceptual terms of your work and think with you through its coordinates

  • Generate a short reading list of works in conversation with your project

  • Craft writing prompts in dialogue with the readings/excerpts to generate new in-roads for your work
