EVENTS AND CLASSES

Coaching and MENTORING

Hawkins works one-on-one with writers on creative nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid projects. Coaching can be remote or in person.

Editing and mentoring contracts vary widely. Hawkins can act as a first reader on a big project you have in mind to generate new work on a deadline. They can act as a personal writing coach to get you going from scratch. They can read and comment on work with an eye towards deepening and polishing. Contracts and writing agreements are tailored to suit your personal writing needs and goals. Hawkins’ notes sway towards process and play. They are personal and somatic, poem-specific and/or poem-within-a-manuscript imaginations, and include big picture possibility and fine-tuning language critique. Hawkins does not copy edit.

Rates vary as widely as the contracts.

For by-the-hour/one-on-one workshops, rates are a sliding scale $70-$105.

For manuscript editing, rates vary from $450-$3000, depending on length and desired feedback.

For manuscript mentoring, rates vary from $500-$1000 per month.

Point being: There are so many options. Please use contact page to inquire.
