HWR Writing Coach

One-on-one support

THWR has assembled a very select set of high-quality coaches and mentors who work closely with writers, help them with feedback and also stay on track with their writing.

HWR does this for free, but we make a small request of both parties (writer + coach / editor) if things work out: Please support a child at the Chirag School for two months or more. Details here. 

We help writers with one-on-one support in two different ways :

  1. Manuscript evaluation
  2. Ongoing coaching and feedback. 


Manuscript Evaluation
is meant for someone who has already finished writing their book / story, and are looking for feedback. The mentor will read your entire manuscript and come back to you with feedback on various aspects such as structure, flow, language, clarity etc. 

In fiction it would dig deeper into aspects such as character, plot, the strength or the storytelling etc. 

In non-fiction the mentors would look at the Logic, research, gaps that may need plugging, and so on.

Writing with a Coach

The writer commits to write and submit a minimum of 8000 words every month. The count can be higher.  The coach reviews the writing, annotates with their suggestions and edits and discusses that piece with the writer each month. This helps the writer get feedback on their writing, and also stay on track with their writing.

We do this for free, and make a small request of both parties if things work out : Please support a child at the Chirag School for two months or more. Details are here.
