I couldn’t admit to myself that I was writing a book until I’d written 10,000 words. Two pieces of guidance from Julia Cameron got me started writing with a first thought and 1,000 words at a time. When I reviewed those first 10,000 words, I could see the book that was emerging and the structure that was forming.Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

WRITING COACHING If you're looking for a writing coach to support you in starting or finishing your writing project including everything from emotional & mindset support to technical structure & habit building as well as support with the actual writing... I'd love to hear from you and learn about your project. My coaching packages start at $1000 NZD for one month of coaching support through Whatsapp voice and text messages. If that's a little out of your price range, I am putting together a group coaching program with a waitlist coming soon. EDITING PACKAGES If you're looking for an editor who champions women's stories, honours your creative choices, works to divine timing (not deadlines), and supports your style of working... I'd love to meet you and hear about your project. We start with a $500 NZD Editorial Review where I can look at your first 3 chapters to give you feedback and directions on how to develop your book further. The cost of this review can be put towards the price of any of my editing packages. A full three pass editing package is $5000 NZD including a structural edit, copy edit, line edit of your formatted-for-publishing manuscript, and full access to me on Whatsapp for coaching and support throughout the editing process. If you don’t want a full three pass edit then we can put together a custom package with one or two editing passes to suit your needs from $1000-2000 per editing pass. Email me at kerryn@kerrynhewson.com or DM me Instagram @kerryn.trisha for more information about working together.
