Edit Steps
- 1Create an account to receive coaching. You can also register at this link.
- 2Check out the Coach's profile and see what she is all about.
- 3Request an appointment. The Coach will get back to you within 24 hours to discuss a meeting time and the best way to work together. The coach is available to assist you Monday through Saturday, unless otherwise specified by the Coach. Contact her via:
- wikiHow: Talk page
- Google Docs
- 4Include the title or URL of an article you are working on or would like to work on. The Coach will review your work beforehand and plan the best strategy for your meeting. This will ensure getting the most out of the time spent working together.
- 5Include notes on the areas you would like to work on. This may include grammar, style, research, organization or brainstorming of steps. The more specific you can be about your goals, the more effective your session will be.
- 6Make time in your schedule for the appointment. At the time of your appointment, the coach will wait 10 minutes for you to show up.
-
If you can't make your appointment, please give the wikiHow writing coach at least 24-hours notice. Missed appointments will send you to the back of the line, which may mean that you will have to wait a week or two.
Prime Time
-
- 7Enjoy and get as much as you can out of your appointment. Generally, it should last about 45 minutes to an hour. Learn, laugh and maybe even get your article featured!
- 8Make a follow-up appointment if you would like further assistance.
