Everyone Needs a
Little Help Sometimes!

A writing coach can help you find the heart of your story and give you the motivation to keep on writing!

Whether you’re just starting out or have been writing for years, we all need support, encouragement, and guidance. Consulting with someone else can bring clarity to your concerns and help you move forward with confidence.

If you feel like you would benefit from sharing your ideas with a trusted guide, sign up for a 50-minute writing coaching session.

Throughout the summer, all coaching sessions are pay what you can. When you select "Try Coaching," you can choose the price that works for your situation.

These sessions are FREE for former students who are scheduling their complimentary coaching session included with their writing course.

The sessions are also FREE for first-time coaching clients curious about how this kind of service could help their writing practice. 

For all other writers interested in coaching, the 50-minute sessions are pay what you can. It is acceptable to pay anywhere from $45 per hour to $99 per hour (my going rate). If money is tight, email Rehema to discuss a service trade—swapping coaching time for something of equal value.

Book your 50-minute session today to take the next step in your writing journey. Limited spaces available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the afternoon (Eastern Time). 

Contact Rehema if you have questions.

All about our sessions

What happens in a session?


Each session begins with a short grounding meditation to focus our energy. Next, we will set intentions and expectations for the session by talking through your concerns. Each concern will require a slightly different way forward, so we will find the next steps to address them together. You will leave a coaching session with a clear idea of what you can do to continue making progress.

How long is a session?


A session lasts 50 minutes.

How do I book a session?


Please email rehema @ storyspringwriting.com to make an appointment. Once the new booking system is live, you will be able to click on the button above which will redirect you to the online booking system.

How do I share materials with Rehema?


When you book an appointment, you will get a confirmation email with instructions. We ask you to share materials at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment—more time is helpful. This will allow Rehema space to creatively reflect on ways to assist you and your writing goals.

How do you handle stress and anxiety?


We start every session with meditation to ground ourselves and calm the nervous system. If someone is too anxious to meditate, we will focus on breathing to center the mind and slow down the body.

After that, we will set a goal for the session. This will allow us to talk through your writing concerns, assess where support is needed, and solve the problems at hand. Attention will be given to addressing the most central concerns. From there, we will discuss reasonable solutions that can be achieved within a realistic timeframe without unnecessary stress.

What do we do if I have Writer's Block during a session?


Writer’s block tends to take many distinct forms. It is important to assess what kind of block we are facing. In my experience, there are different levels of writer's block. Sometimes it means: “I don’t know what to do right now.” Other times it can be expressed as: “I don’t know how to get started or keep going on this project or task.” The most serious kind is an outcome of the following sentiment: “I am utterly exhausted, and I don’t have the creative energy to work.” Once we identify the underlying cause of the writer’s block, we can figure out the appropriate next steps.

Meet your Coach

Hi, I'm Rehema.

I have been writing and teaching writing for decades! After getting a Ph.D., I was a principal in Beijing for three years, and I am currently a professor at Michigan Technological University. A year ago, I published a young adult fantasy novel where the protagonist uses prayers, meditation, and mindfulness to overcome challenges. Currently, I am editing a collection of stories from 27 authors. These activities have enabled me to hone my writing coaching with real-world experience.
