Creative Writing Coaching for
Enthusiastic Young Writers &
Those Who Support Them
Are you a young writer who wants to explore creative writing more deeply? Do you have a young creative writer in your life who is enthusiastic about storytelling, but you don't know how to begin supporting them? Or are you uncertain how to effectively help your young writer improve their draft creation, editing, critiquing, or exploration of new forms? Wordplay Wisdom has your back!
Our personalized writing coaching is designed to help support both you and your young writer, with one-on-one coaching options as well as opportunities for team meetings with both you and your young writer.
We firmly believe that every child who loves to write deserves creative support and encouragement to continue developing their confidence and their voice. Our tailored and compassionate writing coaching provides exactly that!
We support young writers who are thrilled to tell stories!
Our specialties range from traditional pieces including short stories, fan fiction, novels, creative nonfiction, scripts, and screenplays to experimental creative work to poetry of all forms. We're not afraid to mix genres and mediums - you shouldn't be either!
We would also love to help your young writer explore any genre or mix of genres as well!
We also provide support for those who want to help an enthusiastic young writer in their life but who aren't sure how to do so effectively.
We do not work with school essays, college essays, or reluctant writers.
For reluctant writers, Brave Writer is fantastic. https://bravewriter.com/
For students stuck on college essays, The College Essay Guy has great resources. https://www.collegeessayguy.com/
Through our coaching, your young writer can expect to:
➼ Strengthen their characterization, dialogue, plotting, and action.
➼ Dive deeper into the art of storytelling.
➼ Explore new forms of writing and expand their range.
➼ Revise and polish the writing they care about most.
➼ Build confidence in themselves and their work as a writer and an artist.
➼ Have a ton of fun!

Pricing and Scheduling
Our sessions are sixty-minute blocks starting on the hour. We charge $90 for
individual sessions and $145 for group sessions.
Writing is personal so we always begin our work with a $30 thiry-minute intake meeting. This allows us time to discuss your goals, analyze the best way to achieve them, and make sure this feels like a good fit for your needs.
