Wordy Coaching for the Written Craft

Please take your time to fill out the questions below carefully. While we love working with writers who are committed to their craft, we are very selective in clients we work with.

We will reply within 2-3 days, after checking our availability and reviewing everything to make sure our services are a good fit for what you need.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This form is for writers who are interested in working with Elisa and Inkwell Forge on their writing through editing and coaching. It is not a form to work for Inkwell Forge as a writer. Any forms sent for this will be sent to Spam.

Let's get to know each other... what is your name? (Real and pen, if that's your style.)

What is the best email address to reach you at, so we can continue this conversation?

What is the website or project we're looking at today?

If you don't have a website for your writing project, what is a social media or similar online URL where we can get to know a bit more about you and your writing?

Tell us about yourself. A bit about your own background. Your position with the brand. What’s your favorite streaming binge?

Tell us about your site or project.

What about your writing hopes and dreams? What do you want to "get" from your writing?

What are you looking for help with?

What type of editing or writing help are you looking for? IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not an application to work for IWF.

Proofreading - I could use a second set of eyes to review my blog posts, short downloadables, newsletters, and other writing monthly.

Content Editing - I need someone to proofread my content, but I'd also like some editorial feedback on structure, consistency, and whether it is serving or contradicting with the voice & vision I have for my business/brand.

Writing Coaching - In addition to regular editorial feedback on structure and consistency, I'd like help to improve my development, ideas, and writing skills.

Content Management - I am committed to having high-quality, well-written, brilliantly thought-out content. But I don't know how to do this consistently. Looking for a strategist to oversee it all and help me manage my writing and maybe 1-2 person content team.

I don't know what I need help with...I just know I need help. Please help me.

Why do you want to focus on content and writing?

Yes, we're getting a little philosophical here. Just go with it...

What kind of time/work are you interested in investing?

I want to improve my writing craft, and am willing to invest whatever time and work that involves (for at least 3-6 months.)

I want to improve my consistency and get support/accountability, but have a limited amount of time and work to invest.

I want to have someone do everything, I don't really have a lot of time and work to invest at this time.

How much planning have you done so far to set a foundation for your writing?

I haven't done anything yet, I'm brand new to all this

I've done a bit of planning and have some ideas, but nothing substantial

I've done some work and thinking, maybe created a voice and vision profile, completed keyword or competitor research

I have been doing this for a while so I completed all that long ago

I did all this before, but could probably use a refresher before jumping into a new editing process

I've completed all this work and will happily share it with you

Have you tried anything else to solve or change the problems and/or observations that brought you here today?

How many pieces per month are you planning on publishing?

How long will they be (on average?)

When are you looking to get started?

I'm ready to go whenever

I'd like a couple weeks to pull things together

I'll probably need about a month to get things set up on my end

I was thinking of starting this within the next couple months

How much have you budgeted/planned to spend monthly on improving your writing and content?

Less than $100 USD

Less than $300 USD

Less than $500 USD

$750+ USD
