Explore different coaching options. Develop a service that works for you.
Coaching Writers is a short, self-paced workshop designed to help you develop a coaching service.
In the first part of the workshop, you'll explore the many ways you can coach writers. In the second half, you'll consider how to shape a coaching service that works best for you.
You'll come out of this workshop with ideas for coaching services that can help the writers you work with, and that feel right for you and the way you want to run your business.

A needs-based scholarship of $15-off is available for editors from marginalized groups who cannot afford the full price. A limited number of scholarships are released in October and April.

Course Wrap-Up
Hi, I’m Tanya 👋🏻
I’m a book editor, translator, educator, and literary omnivore. I've been in publishing for over twenty years and love this industry to bits.
I work with authors and publishers, editing and translating SFF, horror, contemporary realism, memoir, interactive fiction, and graphic novels.
I support editors and writers one on one, and teach in a bunch of places, including the Editorial Freelancers Association and Emerson College's MFA in Popular Fiction program.
It has been suggested that I read too much for my own good. This might be true.
What Others Have to Say

How long will this workshop take me?
What if I want some support during the workshop? Can I get that?
I need accessibility accommodations. Can you help?
If you need any additional accessibility accommodations, shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do to help.
What do you mean by "established editors"?
This workshop is designed for editors who have an established business, and who have worked with writers for long enough to understand their experiences. The workshop can also work for writers who have a good understanding of the publishing industry.
What do you mean by "marginalized" in the scholarship?
People from marginalized groups and communities are people who have experienced systematic discrimination because of certain characteristics — such as their skin color, heritage, sexuality, gender, disability, or neurodivergence. This scholarship is intended to support people who have been historically excluded from the publishing industry.
