Coaching for Writers
Whether you’re bursting with a book in you, or you want to write articles, blogs, reports, or anything else of personal or professional importance; whether you aspire to being published by a major company, or to self-publish, Phil can help you achieve your goal.
Whatever stage your work is in, he can guide you in taking the next necessary steps. He will work with you to clarify your intent; help you make difficult choices; separate the wheat from the chaff; liberate your creativity; find the right mix of inspiration and discernment; and do the necessary editing, tweaking, and rewriting to lift your work to a professional level.
Phil has been writing professionally since his first for-pay magazine article in 1973. He is the author or co-author of more than twenty books and the uncredited ghostwriter on several more, almost all written under contract with major publishing companies. He has also published countless articles in newspapers, magazines, and online sites.
Phil has worked with experts in various fields who wanted to collaborate with an experienced professional writer. He has also advised and assisted many aspiring authors, helping them turn ideas into manuscripts and rough drafts into finished products. Many of those authors were able to move ahead with projects they’d struggled with, or hadn’t been able to get started on, for many years.
Phil’s payment structure for coaching services is on an hourly basis.
Practical Spirituality with Philip on Substack
Phil posts two or three times a week on his Substack. Most of his posts are short essays related to the theme of Practical Spirituality–advice, guidance, commentary on spiritual concepts, quotes from and tributes to spiritual luminaries, spiritual takes on current events, etc. Sometimes, the posts are announcements about his offerings or those of teachers he respects. Once in a while, he’ll range further afield and share something on his mind, whether serious or humorous.
You can subscribe for free and get most of his postings in your Inbox. You can also become a paid subscriber and take advantage of special offerings, such as: monthly Zoom gatherings where people come together to share insights and concerns about life on the spiritual path in these challenging times. Most sessions have special guests who add fresh perspective and expertise. Other offerings for paid subscribers include transcripts of selected podcast interviews with spiritual teachers and jokes, stories, and cartoons that combine spiritual insight and belly laughs–because spirituality is serious business and also a hoot.
