Writing Guidance

My style of mentoring focuses on intuitively and psychically guiding your writing by tuning into the body of work you’re creating and supporting you to access that. It is not to teach you how to write or what to write about. It is to provide clarity and support in shaping the content, plot and characterisation if you’re writing fiction. And if you’re writing non-fiction, I can guide you to reach the depth of the subject matter by helping you explore your intuitive knowing to reveal what you feel passionate about.

 Whatever your focus, writing takes courage, commitment and self-discipline. It can be one of the hardest things to show-up for, equally one of the most intimately satisfying spaces from which to manifest your dream of becoming a writer.

 With my decades of experience as a metaphysical counsellor and psychic communicator, I can support your writing journey in a way that goes beyond technical skill but encapsulates your whole project. Writing is about bringing forth the unknown and creating something fresh and unique.

I offer one-off sessions, or packages of three, six, nine or twelve sessions. If booking a package, the sessions would be fortnightly to allow time between each session to implement your writing with focus and intent.

Sessions include

·      Embodying your writer self.

·      How to overcome self-doubt and writer’s block to forge ahead even when you don’t feel like it.

·      Finding your writing groove - the best place to write and the amount of time you can commit per week to your writing project.

·      Exploring content.

·      Characterisation and developing plots if writing fiction.

·      Working on how to best approach your content, and the crafting of your writing project.

·      Techniques to overcome the old mental constructs and emotional blocks that you will inevitably meet during your writing journey.

·      How to appreciate the true value in your writing, even when you’re not yet earning any money from your writing project.

 My Writing Projects

I have written and self-published After Life: A Soul’s Journey of Life, Death and Beyond, and The Nature Oracle: Healing messages from Earth, Sea, Stars and Sky.

I am in the process of creating an online program for my metaphysical workbook, Forest Dreaming. The program is being designed for those wishing to deepen their understanding of the metaphysical nature of their humanity, to enable transformation and a more soulful life.

Presently I am writing my fist Visionary Novel, the first in a series of three. Journeying the world of fiction is proving to be a lot of fun, requiring a different sort of discipline, which is unexpected.

Testimonial

Claire Swinney has been my writing mentor for a decade. She has supported me getting five novels published by major worldwide publishers (with one in train). I honestly don’t think I could have got there without her. Her deep intuitive abilities and practical, grounded advice make a magical combination. She can ‘feel’ my characters, their backstories and fates, as if they are inside her rather than me! And she has the ability to cut straight through an issue to the underlying problem - plot, pace, character, theme - and know just how to fix it. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Testimonial

Claire has helped me with a few different writing projects. Her insight, clarity and skill was amazing in supporting me to access my own writing voice and in unlocking a body of information. Claire is fun to work with and really helped inspire me to be more committed to my writing path and to discover much deeper aspects of my writing I hadn't been able to access previously. She helped me to work through blocks and issues holding me back and aligned me to my creativity in a whole new way. I would highly recommend Claire as a writing mentor and coach. A R- Byron Bay

"Claire’s ability to work intuitively to help uncover and then guide a story is a wonderful gift in the writing process which can so often be a solitary process. I highly recommend ongoing mentoring sessions as you develop your script to talk through sticking points, character and plot development. These sessions are fun, insightful and motivating.
