MENTORING
THE BOOKSMITHS WAY
How we can help
If you’re looking for experienced, approachable experts to develop your creative writing and nurture your ambitions, Alex and Becky are here to offer meaningful support and guidance, elevate your writing and get you over the finish line.
With years of publishing, teaching and mentoring experience, we have the insights and empathy to boost your creativity and keep your writing on track. All our mentoring is bespoke, focusing on the micro and the macro, honing your story and voice while encouraging your growth as a writer. We’ll help you discover the tools of the craft, tailor a schedule (if you'd like), as well as offer step-by-step feedback on your work in progress, building the skills, confidence and accountability to see your book through to completion. With a particular interest in overcoming imposter syndrome and creative blocks, we can help unlock your potential, carve out the time, rediscover the joy and gain the permission to become the writer you’ve always dreamed of.

How it works
Alex and Becky work with writers at all stages of the creative process, so whether you’re just starting out and need one-off mentoring and brainstorming to set your project on the right course, or would like on-going help with your writing project, get in touch for a free 30-minute discovery call to explore your technical and creative challenges. From there, we can create a program and price designed to improve your craft and realise your goals. As a guide, we work to an hourly rate of £50.
Much of our mentoring takes place online, enabling us to work with writers internationally – time-zone and language permitting. However, we’re East Sussex based, and if you’d would prefer to meet in person, we’re more than happy to make that happen.
