Mentor Programme
The Writer's Journey Mentor Programme
Would you like to have professional support
on a month-by-month basis
to find your true voice & write your book for publication?
If so, my 6 month programme of individual coaching is just what you need!
Despite the best of intentions, many writers struggle to make real progress with the books they want to write.
Why is that?
Well, there are a number of reasons which usually come down to a mixture of the following:
- a lack of clarity about which idea to focus on first out of many possible projects
- not knowing where to start or how to deepen the impact of the words on the page
- too many conflicting priorities in day-to-day life to find the time and space to write regularly
So I have created an individual coaching programme
which offers accountability and structure alongside
intuitive guidance and professional support.
I met Julia at a book launch a few years ago and knew how much her guidance had helped my friend achieve publication. Last year, I reached a crucial point in my novel, so I contacted Julia about her Writer’s Journey Mentor Programme.
I am nearing the end of a Writing MA and have a personal tutor I see a couple of times a year, but we focus on the work, not on my motivation or confidence.
Deep down, I began to wonder if I was capable of finishing my novel. I felt I was blocking my own progress but I wasn’t sure why.
Over the past five months, Julia has shown great sensitivity and understanding throughout our sessions. She has helped me to look at each issue with fresh eyes, turning what I saw as blocks into monumental strengths - not only in my character, but in the true source of my creativity. My whole outlook is transformed; the doubts have vanished and my novel is almost complete.

My unique skill set combines the perspectives of
Publisher, Author, Consultant, Coach and Mentor.
This is the approach I bring to the 6 month Mentor Programme which enables you to:
- clarify your ideas, release your blocks and set your creative spirit free
- get started and/or develop and deepen a solid writing practice
- keep the momentum going amongst everything else on your 'to do' list
- complete your manuscript and undersand the publishing process
- work 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!
Within three months of joining Julia's Mentor Programme I completed the first draft of my book from scratch!
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.

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.

This is also your chance to check in with me for that all-important accountability which will help you to keep your writing at the top of your priority list!
So we are in contact either by phone or email every two weeks throughout the programme, and this rhythm is one of the reasons why the Mentor Programme enables you to make such incredible progress.

I have just completed the Mentor Programme with Julia and I can honestly say that having Julia’s help and support for the past five months has been so very liberating on so many levels.
Julia asks you the questions that you don’t even know how to ask yourself with regards to your relationship with your process of writing. She has the ability to pinpoint exactly what you need to focus on which results in you being lifted out of confusion and uncertainty in to knowing and clarity with a real sense of direction.
I have gone from having all sorts of different writing projects on the go but going no where, to being able to really focus on what is important to me at this time and driving it forwards. I now have a regular blog-ezine that I send out on a monthly basis and a book that will work its way out there too at some point.
Whether I am ever published or not is not such a priority to me anymore, but what is, is the fact that I now have the confidence and the means to put my message out there in some way and this somehow completes the process for me.
Thank you Julia for being such a fundamental part of my setting myself free. I now believe my writing is good enough and that I am good enough.
