When starting from scratch with One-on-One Coaching, it is very important to have trust and a mutual understanding of the project. Both the writer and coach's goals should align. To achieve this and create the best product possible, the writing coach needs to know the author's skills, expectations, and goals for the project.
Prospective writers will fill out a short intake form when they sign up and email 3,000 to 5,000 words of the project or another example of their writing to weston@kincadefiction. During the next four to five days, the coach will review the author's responses. The writer will then meet with the coach in a free 30-minute video conference, where the coach will offer insights about their observations, improvements needed, and the writing project's potential.
If their goals align, One-on-One Coaching will commence after the first coaching payment is made.
Testimonial
"I met Weston on a writer’s social website back in 2010. Even then he was encouraging and helpful, leading me step by step from the mechanics of CMoS to the final posting on Amazon/Smashwords. He introduced me to my first cover artist, several forms of marketing, and when he was busy teaching or writing himself, to my favorite editor, Katy. I’ve published 31 novels on Amazon since we met, and Weston has edited or beta-read over half of them. Read the dedication of any successful novel, and you’ll see that it takes a village and a lot of work to move from concept to delivery. If you’re lucky, you’ll have someone like Weston in your corner who has been through the process numerous times and can guide you.
