Writing Mentoring

Looking for a writing mentor?

I’m Rose, a multi-published Australian writer and editor. With a Master of Arts in Creative Writing (including book editing), and graduate and postgraduate studies in language and literature, I offer a fresh creative coaching experience that delivers results.

Alongside my own books, I’m also the author and ghostwriter of several books for some big brands in Australia, such as Lisa Messenger.

With twenty years of studies and experience behind me, I know it takes time and technique to shape exceptional writing: so hopefully, that’s why you’re choosing me as your coach.

Why I believe in mentoring

I needed excellent teachers to get where I am today – and so did every published, award-winning book author you’ve ever had the pleasure of encountering in your favourite book store.

I took the time to study the intricacies of writing. I enrolled in some of the best academic institutions in Australia. And I was mentored personally by authors with PhDs in creative writing and decades of publishing experience.

Everything took off from here, including a magazine and book editing career and the creation of HeartWriting. Today, I write for myself, I ghost write for businesses, and I teach others how to achieve success with their writing. I have 15 years of experience as a senior-level high school teacher, plus many years of experience teaching adults.

My promise to you is achieving exceptional, powerful, and accurate words that can make lasting change in a tedious world. 

STEP 1

Creative Alchemy 1–1 Session

For creatives needing that personal touch strategy session with creative healing. This session is designed to give you a devoted hour of creative awakening, tools, and a strategy to move forward — no matter the creative project or block. 

Most of all, I help clients find and practise their authentic authorial voice in their writing – so that their writing can truly resonate, touch hearts, and make change in the world. 

Afterwards, I’ll send you our notes, a selection of resources (tailored to your needs), and I’ll edit 1000 of your words, with feedback and structural/ developmental advice.

 

  • 1 hour of mentoring with Rose.
  • learn about masterful writing.
