Writer Mentoring

How is your freelance writing career going? Have you been frustrated by the difficulty of getting reliable insider information to jump start your career. If you’re anything like I was then you could probably use some help. I know that when I started writing, I got advice from editors and other writers about writing skills and it really helped me to develop my skills and abilities and to launch a successful and varied writing career. As I moved through the ranks from sub-editor to edit magazines and books, I learned more about the writing business (20 years will do that) and I’ve learned even more since I’ve been freelancing.

One of the most important things I have learned is that developing a successful writing career is a series of next steps, but you have to know what they are. That’s why I am launching a personal mentoring service. It’s your chance to get one-on-one advice about the writing business and how you can take the next step in your freelance writing career. We will discuss where you are now, the aspects of the business you want to know more about and where you want to go. I will help you see how you can improve the way you present yourself to potential editors and clients.

Here’s what one of my previous clients has said about the service:

‘Sharon made good use of the time, having a well-organized list of important points ready to share with me. She was able to go on for some time, filling me with useful tips and suggestions, but was also willing to be interrupted by my many questions… I got personalized advice specific to my situation…as a result of this one-on-one attention I learned so many things that can help me with my writing career that I can’t even count them.’ (Read the full review of the service here.)

And here’s what Dana Prince has said about my writing advice:

“Sharon set my wheels in motion on the fast track when she once posted a list on her blog of everyone she works for and I proceeded to apply to every single one of those places and that’s how I accelerated my writing career….Sharon has taught me a lot about freelance writing as well as her specialty of self promotion. She’s a true guru on seo and self promotion!”

The price of this service is $50 for a single one hour session, discounted to $120 for a batch of three. We will chat by IM. I prefer to use Google Talk as it automatically keeps a record of the chat for future reference. However, I can also be available on MSN and others.

To get started on developing your writing career book a single session for a quick career boost or a batch of three for real, in-depth planning. I’m looking forward to chatting with you and helping you to take that next step.
