Writing Reboot Session with Jenna Avery
If you’ve been blocked or stuck, want to (re)start writing, or need help building a solid writing practice — this is the session for you. Writing coach Jenna Avery will help you reboot your writing and move forward with your calling to write. She has an intuitive knack for sensing what’s holding you back and for helping you restore your confidence in yourself, your skills, and your writing. Together you’ll explore and tackle the challenges you're facing as a writer and get you writing again. Though this isn’t therapy, some writers have described it as “therapy for their writing."
What Jenna’s students say:
“Jenna is supportive, constructive, and attentive. The tips and skills she taught, as well as the new way of thinking about writing that she demonstrated, have helped me write more in two weeks than I have in two years! Absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to write - and to have written! - but still needs to maintain a job and a life.” - Heather Hillstrom
