The Gilliam Writers Group is not in the business of peddling overly abstract advice – the kind unqualified professionals use as a smokescreen for missing knowledge. Instead, we're committed to providing actionable, practical feedback that helps every client become a better writer, no matter their training or goals. 

To this end, we believe that a business writing coach should offer not only technical support, but a collaborative, participatory learning experience, to each individual they work with. The interactive, growth-oriented nature of this service is what distinguishes writing coaching from editing; while editing is (primarily) asynchronous, coaching calls for real-time human connection. While editing is product-focused, coaching attends equally to the writer, their product, and their process of production.

Accordingly, GWG’s business writing coaches and tutors take a hands-on approach to our clients’ writing. Meeting on Zoom and Google Docs simultaneously allows us to engage with written text in a uniquely tactile, organic way; using shared digital documents, we can shift seamlessly between dialogue and demonstration, idea and experiment, critique and revision. The virtual environment introduces an unprecedented level of immediacy into the workshopping process, enabling us to intervene in a client’s output at nearly the speed of thought.

Practically speaking, this means our business writing coaches can mark up your work with you live on video, demystifying the editorial process. It means we can observe your writing process in real time and provide actionable pointers on technique. It means we can instantly demonstrate the skills we want you to learn — all without the awkwardness of peering over each other’s shoulders or passing notebooks back and forth.

If you’re still feeling uncertain (or excited!) about the logistics of one-on-one business writing classes online, we invite you to schedule a consultation call. A representative from our company’s leadership team will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Whether you need some help putting together an internal presentation, or want to elevate the quality of your company’s marketing materials, we hope you’ll consider building a long-term creative partnership with your GWG business writing coach. Why? Because the longer you work with a writing coach, the more impactful their insight becomes. A coach’s most valuable assets – nuanced interpersonal awareness, an intuitive grasp of clients’ evolving skill sets, and deep familiarity with their work – just aren’t available off-the-shelf.

These layers of comprehension take time to emerge, relying as they do on data from months and even years of regular meetings. As time passes and the client-coach relationship deepens, this data becomes understanding, and informs our work as a business writing coaching service in countless beneficial ways. We rely on the long process of trial and error to gain perspective on which interventions lead to the greatest improvements in a given client’s writing, for example, or which strategies most consistently mitigate their writer’s block. The more thoroughly we know our clients as individuals, the more precisely and impactfully we can apply our expertise to their writing.

Many of our senior faculty members have met with the same clients weekly for years; in fact, several of GWG’s very first customers are still active in our community today. Long-term collaboration is a core value of the Gilliam Writers Group, foundational to both the sustainability of our business and the quality of our services.

The Gilliam Writers Group faculty is composed of highly trained writers, expert editors, and experienced technical writing consultants. Scroll through our team page and you’ll see graduate degrees in writing and literature from the country’s top MFA and PhD programs; years of professional experience in the publishing industry, media, and education; and strong track records of literary publication. 

Writing by our faculty and emeritus faculty appears in top publications including Granta, The Southern Review, The New York Times, Tin House, Vice, A Public Space, AGNI, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Al Jazeera, Michigan Quarterly Review, The Sun, The Cincinnati Review, American Poetry Review, The Common, Los Angeles Review of Books, Ploughshares, and more.

Before hiring an online business writing coach through the Gilliam Writers Group, we invite you to request a writing sample from their portfolio. That way, you can experience for yourself the exceptional combination of talent and training our team has to offer.

In today’s business landscape, effectively communicating your brand message could not be more crucial to achieving success.

The ability to communicate your company’s message is key. Our business writing coaches work with you to hone the craft of writing compelling marketing materials, press releases, newsletters, and blogs that will set your business apart. Whether you're part of a tech startup, a healthcare institution, a financial firm, or any other industry, our experienced coaches understand the nuances of effective external communications writing. We recognize that marketing materials serve as the voice of your brand, and we guide you in creating content that resonates with your target audience, building strong connections and fostering brand loyalty for years to come.

In today’s digital age, blogs are immensely powerful tools for brand building. Our business writing coaching service delves into the best strategies for creating and maintaining blogs that not only showcase your expertise but also engage and captivate your audience on a consistent basis. 

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a budding entrepreneur, Gilliam Writers Group is your partner in refining your business communication writing skills, ensuring that your brand message is not only heard but also leaves a lasting impact.

Please note that writing coaching takes place live on Zoom and Google Docs.

To discuss options for a private business writing class near you, please contact us.

Within any business, effective internal communication is the backbone of ensuring successful operations. The ability to articulate processes clearly through documents like user guides, instruction manuals, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is paramount, and relies on clear, concise, and engaging communication skills. Our business writing coaches work to empower you in mastering the art of business writing for internal educational operations.

Clarity in communication within an organization is vital. Crafting user guides that are not just informative but user-friendly will ensure that your audience can seamlessly navigate complex processes, a crucial cog in the machine of any internal business operation. Whether you are developing detailed instruction manuals or SOPs, our technical business writing coaches guide you through the process of creating documents that serve as comprehensive roadmaps for your internal operations.

Working together with a professional writing consultant at GWG is a hands-on process designed to provide practical insights and individualized learning, allowing you to apply your newfound knowledge and skill-set immediately within your field. Whether you're seeking to enhance the proficiency of your team, or a seasoned professional looking to refine your own skills, Giliam Writers Group can be your partner in transforming daunting educational operations writing into a comprehensive skill-set that you can confidently implement going forward in your career.

Join us on a journey of elevating your internal educational operations documents to new heights, where clarity meets competence, where every guide, manual, and SOP becomes a testament to your organization's commitment to excellence.

Across industries, internal operations writing is vital in managing business operations, and the Gilliam Writers Group is here to help with our specialized business writing consulting services. Whether you’re looking for a legal writing consultant, a medical writing consultant, or a scientific writing consultant, our expert coaches are equipped to serve your industry’s specific needs. Let’s set up a conversation. Just click here or fill out the contact form below to book a no-cost, fifteen-minute consultation call with someone on the Gilliam Writers Group leadership team.

To connect with a business writing consultant on the Gilliam Writers Group faculty, we invite you to first schedule a free, 15-minute consultation call with a representative from our company’s leadership team.

During this phone call, we’ll guide you through a series of standardized questions about your background, experience, and goals, taking detailed notes on your responses. These notes will form the basis of your client brief – an internal document central to GWG’s client-coach matching process. The client brief ensures that we can help you find a business writing coach who suits your particular needs and preferences. After answering any lingering questions, your representative will conclude the call and email you two important documents. 

First, you’ll receive our new client onboarding brochure, a PDF containing useful resources including a list of best practices, contact information for everyone on our leadership team, and the link to a feedback form you can submit at any point during your work with the Gilliam Writers Group. Second, you will receive a link to our service agreement (fillable online). We co-sign this form with all new clients to establish clear terms of engagement and, above all, to protect your interests – for example, to legally bind ourselves to nondisclosure. You can later dissolve this agreement at any time, for any reason, with just 24 hours’ notice.

Within 24 hours of your consultation call, your newly assigned writing coach will reach out via email and text to schedule your first session.

At this point, they’ll already have a clear sense of your background, needs, and preferred meeting schedule; it is our policy to always read a new client’s brief before making contact. This mitigates redundancy in GWG’s onboarding process; as you establish communication with your business writing coach, you won’t need to rehash the basics of your interest in online business writing classes, for example, or the personality profile of your ideal business writing helper. Your coach will already be in the loop.

Our online writing coaching sessions take place on Zoom and Google Docs, and emphasize guided, real-time practice combined with immediate feedback.

The structure of your first session will depend largely on your particular needs and the discernment of your coach; there is no standard formula, though most such meetings are necessarily focused on gathering information, assessing the client’s writing and goals, and developing a plan of action. After your first session, we suggest that you and your coach agree on a regular weekly or biweekly (once every two weeks) meeting time and stick to it. Over the years, we have found that consistent weekly or biweekly sessions generate the clearest improvements in our clients’ writing and writing processes. 

The Gilliam Writers Group is primarily an online company; however, if you’re interested in setting up in-person business writing classes near you, please contact us. In certain cases, we may be able to offer a professional business writing course in NYC, which is home to a large part of our community.

If you find that you and your writing coach aren’t a match, or you decide to work with other GWG faculty in the future, our leadership team can support you in choosing another business writing coach on our team.

Before matching you with another faculty member, we will usually suggest that you first tell your writing coach as clearly as possible what you believe is missing in your work together. Open, honest dialogue is essential to the service we offer; all GWG coaches possess strong interpersonal skills, but none of us can read minds.

If clear communication does not yield the hoped-for results, or you no longer want to work with your writing coach for any reason, just let our leadership team know. We’ll initiate a new, more streamlined client-coach matching process, supplementing your original client brief (the one created during your initial consultation call) with updated information to reflect both your progress and the reasons you are pausing work with your previous coach.
