Mentor Programme
On-going support in the form of individual monthly coaching proves to be the right solution for many writers to make dramatic progress.
This 6 month programme provides structure and rhythm for:
- clarifying your ideas, getting started and keeping the momentum going
- developing a solid writing practice and completing your manuscript
- working on your book proposal or synopsis and sample chapters
There is nothing quite like the joy of advancement which comes from working with an experienced mentor!
Here's what GP Neesha Mohan, author of Maya, has to say about her experience of working with me on the Mentor Programme:
Initally I wanted to write non fiction. However, Julia's unique mentoring allowed me to discover my talents in fiction writing. Her expertise and intuition guided me gently through the unravelling of my story.She seems to get to the heart of your individuality in a short time, enabling the essence of your message to pour onto the page. She is true to her message, that your writing should be 'from the inside out'.
I would recommend Julia's Mentor Programme to anyone who has ever thought of writing a book because it incorporates expert advice with a momentum that motivates you to achieve your goal.
This programme is perfect for you if you:
- are committed to taking action on writing your book for publication this year
- want to enjoy the benefits of regular information, support, advice and individual feedback
- are ready to 'fast track' your writing journey to ensure that you are not wasting precious time (in the knowledge that the path to publication takes time to complete!) without losing the quality of the experience or the end results
- understand the value of working closely with an experienced professional who has a proven track record and who knows the writing journey inside out
- know that having a mentor is the absolute best way to get the job done alongside all of the other commitments and priorities in your life
Sarupa Shah has this to say about her Mentor Programme experience:
Before I met Julia, my approach to writing was that it was something outside of me, almost like a ‘job’. What I have discovered and experienced through my mentoring sessions with Julia is that writing is very much part of me.It sounds simple but making that shift has impacted on my whole being as I have gone through a major personal transformation and journey to discover my true writing voice.
Having Julia’s on-going support means I continue to grow as she shares her wisdom, knowledge and insight filling me with confidence, inspiration and joy about my writing journey.
The results you can expect include:
- complete clarity regarding the essence of what your book is about and the knowledge of how best to communicate that message both to publishing professionals and to your readers
- total confidence that you are on track with your ideas and the professional presentation of those ideas to maximize your potential for publishing success
- the knowledge that you are presenting yourself as a credible author that publishers will take seriously
- assurance that you will make the best decisions at each stage along the way for you and your book's success
- enjoying the journey and arriving at the destination!

3. Thirdly, I have worked with literally hundreds of authors, many of whom were writing a book for the first time, so my expertise is grounded in practical reality - in short, I know what works!
4. And finally, I coach, mentor and support people on the whole journey from inspiration to publication ... and beyond.
