You define the goals, and we'll design a program just for you. Step by step, we'll get you where you want to go in your writing career.
One-on-one mentorship for writers who are ready to go all in and want a coach who is genuinely in their corner the entire way. The Cultivator's Circle is the most direct and personal way to work with Gentrye Houghton. It is one-on-one mentorship built entirely around you: Your writing, your goals, and the honest conversations we'll have about what stands between the two. There's no fixed curriculum and no
predetermined path. The work we'll do is shaped by what you want from your life and writing practice.
This is where the full scope of what Gentrye does comes together: Writing practice, craft development, editorial feedback, voice work, and the business strategy to build a sustainable writing career. If you are serious about making writing the central focus of your professional life and are looking for a mentor who's done exactly that, this is the offering built just for you.
What mentorship looks like
A small number of clients are accepted to this premium service only a few times each year, by application. When a new intake opens, the waitlist and Instagram followers will receive the announcement first, so make sure to follow @gentryehoughton to be among the first to know. In the meantime, every other offering at The Writing Cultivator is designed to bring you closer to your writing and career, and the version of yourself who is ready for the Cultivator's Circle.
