Coaching: Nourishment for Your Writing Process

Tria Wen (she/they) creates a space that is just for you and your writing. She invites you to take a comfortable position in the center of the room and completely fill it—with your questions, struggles, doubts, and hopes.

Through deep listening, she offers the modality that is most needed in the moment. This could include visualizations, list-making, role-playing, or writing exercises. You will leave each session with clear actions to move your writing forward, and a sense of comfort that someone is unconditionally in your corner.

Her professional and personal experiences situate her to support writers working on memoir, navigating trauma, grieving the loss of a loved one, struggling to forgive or believe in themselves, going through or recovering from a divorce, and caregivers. She is happy to work with writers navigating different genres and situations as well. Writers have found coaching with Tria particularly impactful when they are in a generative phase, need to get in touch with a character, or are grappling with fear.

Cost

Until June 2025, sessions are offered on a sliding scale of $50 to $150 per 50-minute session. Pricing will be reassessed at that date and may change.
