Write something you're proud of.

1:1 writing coaching

For writers who are stepping into a new version of self and want to use writing as a tool for transformation

Explore The Confident Writer

Many creative writers turn to their writing practice to figure out what they actually think or believe, but their lack of trust in themselves means their drafts stay drafts, and their voice never fully forms.

When you stay stuck, you:

Spend your writing time reading and re-reading what you've already written, revising in circles, not getting any closer to done.

Keep trying workshops, craft books, and writing groups that never really move the needle, because you haven't yet found your voice as a writer or the confidence to say what you're really wanting to say.

Start to believe you aren't really a writer, or that your story isn't worth telling.

Hi! I’m Meredith.

(they/them)

I've worked across the entire creative process as a writer, editor, and coach, so I am well versed in what it takes to move a piece from a rough idea to something finished. I help my clients find the shape of their message through consistent collaboration and support for the emotional and technical alike, so their writing sounds like them.

My curiosity about the people I work with is insatiable. My clients tell me I ask questions that dig deep, questions they’ve never been asked before. Many go on to work with me for years and I love witnessing the transformation in their confidence and skill over that time.

My clients have gone on to start Substacks, publish books, read their work aloud at open mics, share personal essays, and finish projects they've been reworking for years. 


  • "The process was so enjoyable. Mer had enough structure that the whole time felt productive, but also enough flexibility to let me work how I wanted-the writing was entirely in my own hands. There was no moment where Mer took my idea in a skewed direction or gave me words that were not my own. The time was filled with good questions and prompts about my writing and real feedback. Working with Mer was motivation to prioritize what I needed to do, and it helped me feel confident and inspired about doing it!"

    — Emma Collins, Health and Wellness Writer

  • "I came to Word Up Coaching as a fairly sporadic thought sharer. After 6 months, I now understand my voice better, I've learned how to lay out my thoughts on paper in a more useable fashion and how to return to them. Meredith has encouraged me to see myself as a writer no matter how little or much I put down and has given me the confidence to see a future with some of what I'm writing being shared."

    Jonathan Hillis, Substack Writer

  • "Meredith has helped me on my journey of creating two books that I've been wanting to write. Having a coach helped me get ideas out on paper and make it all flow properly. I feel that without Meredith's help, I would still be working to complete these projects."
