Written Word Coaching is a unique, bespoke and trauma-informed writing coaching and mentoring service providing holistic support attentive to process, craft, and writer well-being. Service options focus on a speciality service for people writing hybrid texts (e.g., memoir/cultural analysis or reportage or literary/academic and people writing trauma and/or family history-based narratives, but writers working on other kinds of projects are also welcome).

Written Word Coaching was founded by award-winning writer Meera Atkinson (PhD, MACW, BA). Dr Atkinson has published four books and her fiction, nonfiction, poetry and hybrid writing has appeared in scores of prestigious publications. She is a critically acclaimed literary writer and highly experienced educator, with over a decade of experience teaching in major universities. She is also an internationally and nationally recognised literary and interdisciplinary studies scholar. See Intro for a personalised introduction and to learn more about her credentials.

Written Word Coaching is located on the land of the Gadigal, Wangal, and Dharug peoples, who have never ceded sovereignty. I acknowledge the trauma inflicted on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by colonialism and unjust policies and practices that persist today. I pay respect to Aboriginal knowledge, custodianship and communities past and present and the vital stories and testimony proffered by Indigenous writers and scholars.
