Laying the Foundation: A Space for Your Work

GroundWork Conversations is a space for writers to sort through their ideas, get support, and build something with intention.

Whether you're shaping a manuscript, developing a creative project, or exploring your next steps as a writer, these sessions offer space to talk through ideas, ask questions, and move forward with clarity.

Every session is a conversation—grounded in your needs, offering guidance, reflection, and practical steps to move forward.

Tending to the Work: What We Can Focus On

GroundWork Conversations adapts to where you are in your process. Some key areas we might explore include:

🌻 Shaping Your Work – Structuring a manuscript, hybrid project, or collection in a way that feels cohesive.

🌻 Building Workshops & Creative Offerings – Designing spaces for your own teaching and facilitation.

🌻 Creative Career Strategy – Exploring the business side of writing, including budgeting, marketing, and finding sustainable income streams through freelancing, teaching, or other creative pursuits.

🌻 Finding Clarity & Creative Growth – Working through roadblocks, refining your vision, and making space for new ideas.

🌻 Deepening Craft – Exploring language, form, structure, and creative choices with intention.

These sessions are flexible, allowing us to focus on what’s most relevant to you.

Setting the Pace: How It Works

There’s no single way to approach creative work, and these sessions are designed to meet your needs. Whether you’re looking for steady check-ins, space to reflect between deep dives, or just a session when you need one, we’ll create a plan that makes sense for you.

Scheduling Options

  • Monthly – Ongoing support with time to implement insights between sessions.

  • Biweekly – More frequent check-ins for writers actively working on a project.

  • Quarterly – A slower approach for long-term reflection and strategy.

  • One-Time Sessions – When you need focused guidance or feedback on something specific.

What a Session Might Look Like

Every session is different—shaped by what you’re working on and what kind of support feels most helpful. Conversations may include:

  • Big-picture reflection – Talking through ideas, challenges, and creative goals.

  • Practical problem-solving – Finding solutions to roadblocks in your process.

  • Strategy & planning – Mapping out next steps, whether for a project, a submission, or your creative career.

Each session is a mix of what’s most useful to you in the moment—intentional, grounded, and rooted in moving your work forward.

Digging In: What Happens Next?

Getting started is simple, and each step helps set a solid foundation for our work together.

1️⃣ Start with a conversation – Schedule a free consultation where we’ll talk about what you’re working on, what’s feeling stuck or unclear, and how these sessions can support you. No pressure—just an open space to explore possibilities.

2️⃣ Set a direction – We’ll outline a plan based on where you are in your process. Whether it’s a single session for focused support or a recurring schedule for long-term growth, we’ll establish a rhythm that keeps things moving.

3️⃣ Gather & reflect – Before our first session, I may offer prompts or questions to help you organize your thoughts, identify challenges, or clarify what you want to prioritize. This ensures we can dive right in.

4️⃣ Dig into the work – During our sessions, we’ll talk through ideas, workshop solutions, and develop strategies you can apply right away. You’ll leave with tangible next steps to continue building on your progress.

5️⃣ Stay connected & keep the momentum going – Between sessions, you’ll have space to experiment, write, and refine your work. You’ll also have access to a private Slack channel for check-ins, sharing insights, and staying accountable along the way.
