MENTORING GROUP FOR WRITERS

For the past coupel of years I’ve run mentoring groups for writers. Because they were so successful, I’ll be running them again at some stage this year. It is an integrated program run over a number of months to help writers move forwards with their books.

If you’d like to join one of the groups, let me know. 

The aims of the groups are to:

• learn better writing skills
• learn about story structure
• set (achievable) goals and provide accountability 
• help each other stay motivated
• start or progress your book
• feel more confident about your writing

WHAT YOU GET:

• Once a Month Meeting
  In-person for about 2 hours. The first hour is spent workshopping 5,000-word excerpts from members’ manuscripts—each member gets to workshop excerpts twice during the 6-month period. The second hour is for a tutorial, discussion and a writing exercise. 
• Fortnightly Write Nights 
  These are held Tuesday fortnights via Zoom or in-person at Mattie Furphy House. You write to a prompt and read your work to the group. The prompts and exercises are targeted towards technique and practising new skills.
• Membership of a Private Slack Group
  This is the place to ask questions between meetings and set goals for the week. It’s where I share writing-related guides, tips and news.

IN ADDITION

• 20% Discount off Manuscript Appraisals and 1:1 Meetings

The groups suit writers of any level who are working on a book-length project of any genre: fiction, non-fiction, short stories, memoir.

Daytime and evening groups to cater for people who work.

Numbers are capped at six per group.
