Manuscript Coaching
Are you struggling to get your manuscript off the ground? Are you unsure of what story you’d like to tell? Do you have difficulty in organizing your thoughts and creating a coherent structure for your work? Do you struggle to stay motivated and on track with their writing goals? Are you wondering if should self-publish or try to sell you manuscript to a publisher? Whatever your issue, you don't have to go it alone. I can help you transform your ideas and stories into publishable pieces of writing your readers will appreciate and enjoy.
-
As your manuscript coach, we'll work together to identify the areas where you need the most help and develop a plan to address them. I'll provide honest, constructive feedback on your manuscript, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses and offering suggestions for improvement.

Why work with a writing coach? The answer is simple: writing can be a lonely, frustrating process, and having a supportive collaborator can make all the difference. As a manuscript coach, I'm committed to helping you achieve your writing goals. So why not take the first step and reach out for a consultation today? Together, we can turn your writing dreams into a reality.
“Not only is Navé a superb poet and a unique individual full of soul and wisdom: that rare kind you don’t come across very often, and when you do, you want to hang around and listen to all they have to say. But, above all, Nave is a highly creative and profoundly inspiring mentor with whom to embark on the artistic journey. He gave me the keys to unlock the doors I didn’t dare open, and with his guiding light, both painfully harsh and blinding in its brilliance, I found my way through the darkness. I have a lot to thank him for; anyone who gets an opportunity to work with him should seize it. You will be amazed at where the journey with Navé will take you.”

Creativity Coaching
based on The Artist's Way with Julia Cameron
Welcome to my Artist's Way creativity coaching services. If you looking for new ways to bring your creative ideas and dreams to life, expand your creative community, and identify the many opportunities that await you, you’ve come to the right place. Regardless of your stage in life, it's never too late to make significant changes.
-
With its advocating artistic philosophy and powerful creative tools, the Artist's Way approach is the perfect support system to bolster your courage and give you strategies to turn your creative dreams and desires into finished realities.
As an experienced creativity coach, I have been teaching Artist's Way creativity courses since Julia Cameron and I first co-produced The Artist's Way Creativity Camp in Taos, New Mexico starting in 1995 and running until 2001. Since then, I've taught hundreds of Artist's Way classes, from small two-hour workshops to weekend retreats, to 12-week courses based on The Artist's Way and other books by Julia Cameron.
I've witnessed firsthand how The Artist's Way's evergreen approach to unblocking creativity works. I've lost count of how many people I've helped achieve their dreams while working with The Artist's Way.
-
When we work together, you'll start and finish The Artist's Way Course which will ground in the Artist's Way tools: morning pages, artist's dates, and walks. Then, as we continue, you'll redefine perfectionism, overcome creative blocks, and develop a strategy to push your artistic work forward with a sense of drive and purpose. Finally, we'll design a manageable creative strategy to support your sense of purpose, vitality, and confidence as you build your creative projects into the world.
Remember, it's never too late to begin again. I look forward to talking with you. Your first Artist’s Way session is free. Let's talk and see if our styles fit.
“James Navé and I have worked together for over 20 years. He has a quick, curious, and searching mind, plus a humanist eye for poetic detail. His work as a poet, teacher, and facilitator is an important force for change.”
