Writer's Strategy Session

with Julie Duffy, Founder & Director of StoryADay

Understand where you are. Make a plan for where you're going.

Writing can feel surprisingly complicated.

You're trying to find time to write, finish projects, improve your craft, build confidence, navigate feedback, and somehow keep believing in yourself while juggling the rest of your life.

No wonder it sometimes feels overwhelming.

That's why every coaching relationship begins with a Writer's Strategy Session.

Rather than spending our first conversation deciding whether we should work together, I'd rather spend it helping you make real progress.

Together, we'll take a thoughtful look at your writing life through the lens of my I, WRITER Framework—a practical philosophy for building a sustainable writing life. We'll identify what's already working, uncover what's really getting in your way, and create a clear, practical plan for your next season of writing.

Some writers leave this session with everything they need.

Others decide they'd like ongoing support through Writer's Accountability Coaching or a Project Residency.

Either way, you'll leave with greater clarity, renewed confidence, and a clear sense of what matters most right now.

Your Writer's Strategy Session Includes

  • One 80-minute private Zoom coaching conversation
  • A personalised strategy for your next 30 days
  • Follow-up notes summarizing the key insights from our conversation
  • Clear, practical next steps tailored to your goals, your life and your writing
  • If appropriate, recommendations for the type of ongoing support that will serve you best

We'll schedule our session at a time that works for both of us using my online calendar.

Is this right for you?

This session is ideal if you're thinking things like:

  • "I know I want to write more, but I don't know where to focus."
  • "I've started too many projects and don't know which one to pursue."
  • "I'm overwhelmed by everything that seems to go into being a writer."
  • "I feel stuck, and I can't quite see why."
  • "I know I'm capable of more, I just need some clarity."

This isn't about me, telling you exactly what to do;Ā  it's about helping you understand where you are today, so you can choose the next steps that are right for you, right now.

You've spent long enough trying to untangle it all on your own.

Let's make a plan together.

My coaching session was amazing. Not only did we address the original issue and come up with some great alternatives, she probed me about my current project and helped me to come up with some new ideas that are going to revolutionize it. I'm so excited about how the ideas we tossed around are going to affect this revision of my book. I feel like I'm on track to accomplish what I wanted.
