Have you ever considered hiring a mentor to help with your writing?

Perhaps this is you:
• You’re yearning to write a book, but don’t know where to start.
• You’ve started writing but feel you need guidance to help you along.
• You enjoy the idea of writing but find it a lonely business.

There’s nothing wrong with writing in solitude. Writing can be a soothing and cathartic process, one that engrosses you and allows you to shut out everything else. When you find your creative flow, it can be exciting and energising. However, you might find that one day you’d like your work looked over by an editor; perhaps for your own personal progression, perhaps because you want to do something with your story. Whatever the reason, book editors exist to help guide you through the process.

Why wait until you’ve finished writing your book to work with a writing mentor?

A writing mentor can help you along the way, being there to hold your hand, so to speak. You might discuss the initial idea together, to help you flesh out a plan. You might send them your writing chapter by chapter, or whatever you agree feels right for you. A writing mentor can be there to help when you feel stuck over a particular plot point. They’ll know the story and characters as well as you will, and you’ll be able to bounce ideas off each other.

When you hire a writing mentor, they can be as involved or as distant as you want or need them to be.

Nevertheless, they’ll be there as your guide, and you will no longer be writing on your own.

Does this sound like something you might need?

As a writer myself, I’ve had the benefit of working with an editor and mentor and I know how beneficial this can be. At the same time, I’ve been helping writers along their author journey for years and can provide that valuable support you need.
