A companion for the long, quiet work of writing

Writing is mostly solitary, but it does not have to be lonely. We mentor writers who are finding their footing: learning to finish, to revise without losing heart, to submit, and to keep going when the work is slow.

The approach

Craft and courage, in equal measure

We came up between medical studies and newsrooms, publishing four books along the way. We share what that road actually asked of us, not a tidy version of it.

Mentoring is part craft and part company. We help with the sentences, and we help with the doubt that comes between them.

"We help with the sentences, and with the doubt that comes between them."
The work

What the work includes

Built around your goals and the writing life you want.

01

Regular sessions

Recurring time built around your project and your pace, whatever stage you are at.

02

Reading together

We read your work closely and talk it through, in craft and in spirit.

03

Goals & milestones

We set intentions, mark the milestones as they come, and keep you moving.

04

Support between

Between sessions you write, and we stay a message away.

Who it serves

Who it's for

Emerging writers, students, and anyone returning to writing after time away. Especially welcoming to francophone, Haitian, and diaspora writers looking for a mentor who shares their context.
