No really, what is a writing coach?

Published: Wed, 12/02/15



Hey there,


Last week we talked about how there are as many definitions of what a writing coach does as there are writing coaches. (Well, maybe there aren’t, but it’s close.)


We asked some of our writing coaches to discuss how they see their role, and the responses were enlightening. (Check 'em out here.)


We also asked some of you WriteByNighters to describe your experiences working with these same writing coaches, and we got some great feedback.


And yes, maybe we’re tooting our own horn a bit by posting these, but hey, who else’s horn are we going to toot? It’s rude to just grab someone’s horn and blow your spittle into it.


What is a writing coach to you? What role does your coach play in your writing life? What does your coach do that others in your life do not (or vice versa)?


Read your fellow WriteByNighters' reflections here, and don't forget to share your own thoughts in the comments section below the post!




Happy writing (and coaching),
Justine
