Consultation and Write-Coaching

Sometimes the creative process gets stuck. After hours on hours of staring at your project, you can’t see it clearly anymore. You don’t need someone to fix it for you: you need a nudge in the right direction to get you moving again. That’s what consultation is for!

Or maybe your problems run deeper than that: nothing sounds right, you don’t know what to do next, and you’re not improving at all—or at least you can’t see it. You don’t have to untangle this pile of worms alone. It’s time for write-coaching! A writing coach will put you on the right path and supercharge the education side of your creative journey!

Publishing and Marketing Overview


It’s a hard truth, but publishing is 50% creativity and 50% business management—whether you self-publish or not. That business side can be the hardest for authors to grapple with.

How exactly do you publish a book? What are the steps? How do you choose between publishing routes? Where do you start with marketing? Scissors for Ink can walk you through the terms, strategies, steps, and vocabulary of the business side of writing.

$250 three hour workshop. Can be split into two sessions.
