When it comes to coaching writing, ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL! Some writers want the coaching emphasis to be on getting started and some writers want detailed long-term support with editing and counsel.
When you work with Donna Dahl as your book shepherd, she tailors her coaching to meet your individual needs. You choose the focus from a broad selection of possibilities which include but are not limited to blogs, short stories, novellas, book-length manuscripts, and character development. Some have sought Donna out to get help with writing their bios, their press releases or their resumes. Whether your undertaking is 500 words or 50,000 words, Donna is skilled at helping you develop your writing project from stuck to start and start to finish.
Are you an author with a story waiting to appear in print? Are you a grandparent with a legacy story that deserves to be handed down in writing? Are you a corporation with a backstory that your clientele would appreciate? Clients receive one-on-one personalized writing coaching through a variety of channels: email, phone and internet video communication. Some writers are more like the Hare in Aesop’s Fable and some are more like the Tortoise.

Whatever your objective…whatever your timelines for completion, Donna’s process will accommodate your needs. Whatever your needs—be they written or verbal commentaries, you get to set the priorities.
