I don't know yet!
What do you love to write? Check as many as apply. Yes this list is ridiculous.
*
Have you ever worked with a coach before?
Yes
No
If you answered yes, what kind or kinds of coaching have you done?
Tell us about your wishes and goals for the next three months. Be as razor-precise or as wishy-washy as feels right. We love both, and we're getting to know you.
Bear with us on this one, we just really enjoy asking it. If you could eat ANY meal with ANY person tonight, living or dead, who would it be? Feel free to give us a few. (We're not making dinner reservations, we're just learning about who you are.)
Finish this sentence: "I'd be writing a lot more if...."
Finish this sentence: "I'm looking for a coach who..."
Finish this sentence: "I'm nervous that my coach will..."
Finish this sentence: "To me, writing is all about...."
Finish this sentence: "One thing my future coach should know about me is..."
Now on a much more practical note, tell us a little about any quirks in your availability. Are you only available weekends and evenings? Do you only work on Monday mornings? Fill us in.
Just so we know, is there any content in the writing you plan to share that may be seen as triggering or offensive? This includes (but is not limited to) abuse, bigotry, graphic depictions of violence, sexism or racism.
If yes or maybe, tell us a bit more. What might be hard to read?
This part is optional, but we'd love for you to copy and paste a small sample of your work here, to give your coach a little window into what happens when you sit down to write. She'll read up to 2,000 words. This isn't for critique, just context and clarity.
Now tell us a little about this piece. Is it brand-new? Is it an excerpt? How long has it been around? Does it feel finished to you?
What's the MAIN reason that you wrote this?
Is it memoir or fiction or a little of both?
It's entirely memoir
It's entirely fiction
It's a blend
OK, lovely person! We are nearly done. Within a few days, you'll hear from Heather the "Coach Concierge." If there is ANYTHING you want us to know, see or understand about you at this juncture, lay it on. We're listening.
