Creative Writing Coaching for
Enthusiastic Young Writers &
Those Who Support Them
Do you have a young creative writer in your life who is enthusiastic about storytelling, and who wants to explore creative writing more deeply, but you don't know how to begin supporting them? Or are you uncertain how to effectively help your young writer improve their draft creation, editing, critiquing, or exploration of new forms? Wordplay Wisdom has your back!
Our personalized writing coaching is designed to help support both you and your young writer, with one-on-one coaching options as well as opportunities for team meetings with both you and your young writer.
We firmly believe that every child who loves to write deserves creative support and encouragement to continue developing their confidence and their voice. Our tailored and compassionate writing coaching provides exactly that!
We support young writers who are thrilled to tell stories!
Our specialties range from traditional pieces including short stories, fan fiction, novels, creative nonfiction, scripts, and screenplays to experimental creative work to poetry of all forms. We're not afraid to mix genres and mediums - you shouldn't be either! We would also love to help your young writer explore any genre or mix of genres as well!
We provide creative writing coaching for young writers of all ages, from elementary to middle to high school. We can guide them in expanding their writing, exploring new mediums and genres, as well as providing critique for themselves and others. If requested, we can also help them to build up their confidence by sharing their writing with the world, through submitting and through public readings. We always provide constructive and thoughtful feedback for all of our students' work.
We also provide personalized support for those who want to help an enthusiastic young writer in their life but who aren't sure how to do so effectively. We can meet with you directly to talk through how to help your young writer soar.

Pricing and Scheduling
Our sessions are fifty-five-minute blocks starting on the hour. We charge $90 for
individual sessions and $145 for family or group sessions.
Writing is personal so we always begin our work with a $30 thirty-minute intake meeting with you and your young writer. This allows us time to discuss your goals, analyze the best way to achieve them, and make sure this feels like a good fit for your needs. Since all our coaching is custom, this intake session is crucial for personalizing your experience with Wordplay Wisdom!
Book an Intake Call
To sign up for our consulting services we ask that you book an intake call with Madelyn Dietz before we jump into ongoing coaching. This allows us to get to know each other, learn a bit more about your and your young writer's goals, and make sure this partnership looks like a good fit!
