Meredith Lewis
Services Offered
Project Management
I offer project mentoring to help writers sustain inspiration, learning, and effort during the complex project of writing a book. Through a combination of Zoom appointments, email dialogue and prompts, and written guides, I provide critical friendship from light bulb moment through to post publishing debrief.
Mentoring
I provide mentoring services on establishing and sustaining creative practice. I debrief writers and support them in finding insight into how and why they work.
I focus on the work practices people use to navigate from light bulb moments through to tangible outcomes. I want to help people do this so that they embed resilience and joy in their creative practice.
I am interested in:
· the conditions under which people create
· the feelings and thoughts that inform creativity
· what drives people to create
· and how these things nurture or block their creativity.
I can offer either face to face appointments via Zoom or written exchanges via email.
