There is nobody that really understands the life of a writer like another writer, but the added advantage of a writing coach is that they are trained to listen, help and their only agenda is to see your writing dream become a reality.
Taking the form of weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions, phone coaching is exactly what it sounds like; discussing aspects of your writing with a professional writing coach over the phone. These sessions provide information, motivation and personalised support to keep you on track to your goal.
Phone coaching sessions can be done over the phone or using Skype for the fee of AU$65.00 a session.

General Assessment
This provides honest, overall feedback on a completed or partially completed work. While not as in-depth as the line-by-line critique, you will receive a written report covering many things, including the overall flow and readability of your work, your writing strengths and weaknesses, and suggestions on how you might improve particular areas.
The hourly rate for providing a General Assessment is AU$65.00, however for a more exact quote on your requirements please complete the form below. Don’t forget to include the word count of the piece you want critiqued.
Line-by-line critique
As with the general assessment, the line-by-line critique will provide you with honest, professional feedback on a written work. How it varies, though, relates to the written critique you will receive, it will be highly focused, with suggestions and comments being made directly on your manuscript, line-by-line and word-by-word.

Online Courses
The Writing To Inspire online courses are an excellent starting point for any writer new to the skill or who is looking to branch in to a new genre. All the courses are overflowing with practical, proven information, and include text book style resources as well as personal tips and real life examples from the tutor. Not only that, but most are also backed up with professionally critiqued homework and individual email support.
Inspiring, informative, fun and interactive are just a few words that have described the workshops and talks. With almost twenty active years in the writing arena the diversity of topics that can be covered either in a workshop or talk setting is extensive and in-depth.

‘Elizabeth, this was a terrific, confidence building, well-honed little course. I would thoroughly recommend it.’ Margot, Australia
‘Writing is a labour of love when we expose ourselves by baring our soul. I believe Elizabeth Bezant has the skill to combine respect for our feelings, with pragmatic strategies to help us publish our precious efforts.’ John, Australia
‘Elizabeth, this was a great course and though it was short it has boosted my confidence in my writing. Thank you!’ Rachael, Australia
‘A very rewarding challenge – not too difficult, not too easy. Every word was welcome and useful. I edit other people’s writing in a really similar manner, but it’s amazing how difficult it is to see those same errors in your own work.’ Margot, Australia
'Great course Elizabeth! I would not have taken the time to seriously try this genre but for your course. I made the last few changes you suggested and have sent the essay in to ............. After reviewing their requirements I see that my piece fits in every way possible.' SM,Canada
The critiquing to me was the whole point of the course. While the general comments and writing tips were vital as a backbone to the course, the personal interaction and direction was the whole point of it all.’ Sue, Australia
‘I thoroughly enjoyed course, and it being online made it a breeze.’ Rowe, Australia

‘I’ve just sent off the last of the assignments for critiquing and before I go any further I must say a very big thank you to you for the joy you have given me! Not only have I learnt so much from you, but I have also so appreciated all the encouragement and your wise counsel in assisting me to do something that I wouldn’t have believed could have been nearly possible. I will miss you.’ Yvonne, Australia
'Thanks to Elizabeth I can now source markets for personal stories, competently make my writing market-ready and sell it with confidence. Your editing skills are an asset to the writing community. I recommend this course to any writer who wants to break into this market.' JOH, Australia
'I thought the way the market information was presented was not only informative but importantly for me it was written in a friendly manner. It took away some of the awesome fear I have of confronting the real world of publishing.' KM, Australia
