It’s no secret that I plan to open a writer mentoring program in the future. I spend at least a little bit of time, each day, working on the program. I’m exploring many options, too. I’m looking into what kinds of resources I can bring to the table. I’m exploring potential partnerships, looking at software packages and designing curriculum. Some of the possibilities are pretty exciting, and I think those of you who’ve been waiting won’t be disappointed.

I don’t know how soon the program will be ready to launch. There are a lot of T’s to be crossed, and a lot of… lower-case j’s to be dotted. Rest assured, it’s coming. I’m hoping to have a real timetable in the coming weeks, and you’ll be the first to know when it does launch.

Not a week goes by, however, that I don’t get someone asking me when we’re going to start. That’s an awesome encouragement, and part of what keeps me motivated to keep working on the project.

In the meantime, I hate to see new writers struggling. On top of that, I know how hard it is to get a writing career started, or to try to restart one that’s stalled.

I do what I can here, on my blog, to help writers achieve their dreams. And, I’ll be doing more once the mentoring program begins. At that point, I’ll be able to help literally hundreds of folks.

For now, I want to do something a little extra. For a limited time, I’ve decided to open up coaching opportunities for a limited number of my readers. Specifically, I want to help some of you:

• Propel your writing business ahead
• Learn to write with impact, conviction and, authority
• Make money writing online
• Understand the complex inner-workings of the Internet Writing business
• Map out your own pathway to freelance success

How will I do that? Well, as a stop-gap measure designed to help at least a few of you out until the mentoring program is in full swing, I’ve structured a personal writing coach program that begins today. In this program, I give you:

• Four hours of personal attention to help you with your writing career
• A customized coaching program that most suits your needs
• My perspective as a seasoned freelance veteran
• A hands-on analysis of your writing
• Communication via E-mail, chat, or any combination of the two

Now, my time isn’t limitless. I wish I could help every one of my readers in this way, but I can’t. That will come, down the road, when the mentoring program opens up. For now, I can only accept a total of 5 clients into this coaching program. I’m not promoting the coaching program anywhere else, and this blog post is the only time you’ll hear about it, at least for this month.

The normal rate for this coaching program will be $250 per month. For August only, I’m going to set the price at $150 per month. This lets you get a chance to see if you benefit from the program, and it gives me a little leeway to experiment on you. Mwah ha ha ha!

The program will run at least through the end of the year, and folks who are currently enrolled will have first pick of the slots for each following months.

The first five of you who enroll will get the spots in this exclusive program. Go to the sign up page and get started now!
