Is there a particular writing skill you want to improve? Would you like some dedicated, professional attention for your drafts? Need help developing your poetry project? Want to get your manuscript ready for submission?
 
What is mentoring?
 
When you register for a session of mentoring, you work directly with me, Cat Woodward, via email. I provide written feedback on your individual poems and comment on your writing in general. I personalise my tutoring to you, whether you need help redrafting, developing a project, or building your poetry-writing skills. Mentoring can help you improve technically and flourish creatively.
 
Written feedback is especially good for poets who:
- want to work on specific writing skills or elements of craft
- have a specific project they want to complete or improve
- would like some really detailed, in depth, critical feedback on their work
- want help with their writing but would prefer not to attend classes or do group workshops
- would like one-off or semi-regular help with their writing
 
How it works
 
For one session, submit up to 200 lines of poetry to receive at least 1500 words (though usually more) of tailored, thorough feedback. When you register for mentoring, I’ll contact you by email for an initial chat about what you need and how I can help. Then, you're welcome to submit your work to me by email. I then return my feedback as soon as possible.
 
If you would like a longer course of mentoring, simply order more than one session at check out. If you want to submit a smaller project, just email me for a custom quote and pay by invoice.
