What Is Nonfiction Group Coaching?
When Mentorship meets Mastermind, you get Nonfiction Group Coaching.
In Nonfiction Group Coaching, a small, select group of writers come together to learn from the mentorship of an expert writing coach.
Group coaching is responsive to the needs of the participants in a way a classroom can never be, because the curriculum is shaped by the needs of the participants. Not only will you learn by doing, but you’ll learn by doing your work with the guidance of your coach, camaraderie of fellow writers, accountability, and an ongoing feedback loop as you work through your writing projects at an accelerated pace, all while learning the storytelling skills you need to write powerfully well, today and every day in the future.
- Small group with individualized attention (3-6 people)
- Two 2-hour live sessions/month
- Recordings available after each call
- Each session will have a focus and structure
- Each writer’s project gets “hot seat” style attention every call
- Office hours and email access to your coach between calls
- Peer-to-peer accountability
- Workshopping of each participant’s work-in-progress at least once during the session
- Examples and analysis
- Problem-solving writing exercises
- Polishing tips and tools
Whether you’re writing long emails to a loyal list, blog posts, self-help, how-to, detailed landing pages, or courses, you can write them better.
Better writing means more effective communication. More effective communication means your words reach your readers in deep, personal, significant ways. Powerful communication moves readers to think, feel, and do.
Meet Alida
I named my coaching and developmental editing service Word Essential, because I truly believe that every word matters. For over a decade, I’ve been the writer behind the scenes, teaching, coaching, and editing whoever discovered me and my offerings, usually through word of mouth. I love helping others develop writing craft while bringing their own, deeply personal project to life. Whether a novel, memoir, self-help, stories, or essays, if it has narrative, I’m here for you.
A lifelong writer, I’ve been at the head of the classroom almost as long, from high school to masters degree classrooms, including the inescapable Freshman Comp, and even in prisons. I’ve worked with writers of all levels with varied styles and goals, including professionals driven to craft more precise and meaningful communication.
It was a great experience on so many levels—the learning, the support, the rich discussions…and the fun!
