Writing coaching to boost your writing skills
Ready to take your writing to the next level?
Whether the term ‘writer’, ‘copywriter’, ‘blogger’ or ‘communications’ appears in your job title, you’ve no doubt been writing content for years. This content could be in the form of writing reports, newsletters, sales copy, blog posts, course content, articles, emails or social media posts.
Perhaps you want to improve your writing skills to better connect and engage with your audience through smarter, more strategic content.
Maybe you want to increase your productivity and learn techniques to help you write better quality content, faster.
Perhaps a manager or mentor has suggested you look into writing coaching as part of your professional development.
You might want to overhaul your writing-related business’ processes and procedures to improve your profitability.
Whatever the reason you want to improve your writing skills and process, I can help.
Who am I to help?
I’m Sandra Muller, a copywriter, editor, content strategist and swooner over plain English.
I'm also a writing coach who helps people become smarter, more efficient and profitable writers.
I’ve worked with creative professionals in the online content and UX design space since the days of noisy modems.
I’ve led teams of writers and editors on large content projects since 2004. Writers in my team always leave a project with fresh writing tips, techniques and processes that they can apply to future projects.
For me, writing coaching is more than about teaching people how to write well. It's about so much more than the words on a screen.
It's about:
- doing audience research and analysing the data behind how people currently interact with your content so you can do it better
- aligning your business goals with your user goals
- developing a recognisable and authentic brand voice
- having the right systems, tools and processes in place, which lead to greater efficiency and productivity.
I engaged Sandra for a writing coaching session to analyse my writing. She provided extensive feedback on how to use plain language and improve the user experience. Sandra's tips have been beneficial not just for the content we discussed but for my entire site.

Sandra's focus on plain English has taught me how to be a better copywriter—right from consistency in bullet-point lists and punctuation to making the reader your first priority and writing for understanding. As plain English and user experience becomes more important than ever, Sandra's expertise is a wonderful resource to help your organisation communicate better.
