Are You Ready to Level Up Your Writing Career?
Jumpstart your writing, get motivated, and meet your goals
Greetings, Substack readers!
I hope your week is off to a great and productive start!
Over the past few months I’ve had a few people reach out to me to ask if I would coach them through some of the challenges they’ve been facing in their writing careers. Nothing makes me happier than seeing other writers succeed in meeting their writing goals, so of course I accepted!
Their experience and needs vary, from wanting more help crafting solid pitches to needing help figuring out who to pitch it to, even having another set of eyes on a completed story before it’s submitted. I’m happy to report that the people I’ve been working with have had amazing results!
While they are the ones who did the hard work, they’ve benefitted from having an additional resource to help motivate them, hone their ideas, and provide outlets and connections. They’ve landed assignments in top tier and goal publications, tightened up and improved their pitches, and figured out the best outlets to send their pitches to. They’ve also gotten motivated and conquered their fears (more than half the battle, if you ask me)!
Here’s what one client had to say about working with me over the past few months:
“I started out last year as a new freelance travel writer. My success in my first year and a half is due in no small way to Rebecca's mentorship and support. Her pitch workshops have been invaluable. She has helped me understand more about how the business works and how to clearly articulate my pitches to editors in an intriguing way, and I now have bylines in places like Insider, Eater, and National Geographic.” —Marci Vaughn Kolt
After getting a lot of positive feedback like this, I decided to create a coaching package and make it available to everyone. I have learned over the years that I have a night and day positive difference when I invest in myself, get coaching from a mentor who motivates me, and put in the work. In my own writing career, my coaching has more than paid for itself with the work I get as a result.
No matter where you are in your freelance writing career, one-on-one coaching can help you get to where you want to be.
My personalized coaching program allows you the flexibility to get the coaching you need then take the time to meet your goals. Maybe your goal is to be published in a certain magazine, get a story idea you’re passionate about in print, or double your income—I can help get you there.
This monthly package gives you:
Two hour-long sessions each month where we do an in-depth dive into your questions and goals, including improving your marketing strategies, pitching goal publications, and review pitches and stories. Good for single topics or several.
Two 30-minute power sessions each month where we cover short-term goals, how you'll reach them, your online presence, target clients, and problem solving.
Email recaps of both hour-long and 30-minute conversations, including goals until our next meeting.
Up to three pitches workshopped per month.
I hope you’ll join me and transform your writing career!
The cost is $600 and after one month, you can choose to continue working together or take time to work on your goals.
I’m only going to work with a few clients this month (since I have my own assignments and want to make sure I’m giving high quality coaching), so space is limited!
If this coaching package isn’t in your budget or a good fit right now, stay tuned. In the coming months, I’ll be launching writing events, webinars, online classes, videos, and e-books for you to access!
Thanks for being here!
