1-on-1

Work directly with a Pilcrow instructor.

Beyond the cohort, our instructors offer private craft sessions and manuscript reviews — coordinated through Pilcrow. Tell us what you're working on and who you'd like to work with. We'll confirm with the instructor, share a quote, and make the introduction once you're booked.

How it works.

01 / Browse

Find your instructor.

Eight Pilcrow instructors offer private mentorship outside the cohort. Read their bios, find a voice that resonates with what you're working on.

02 / Request

Tell us what you need.

Fill out a short form below — what you're working on, who you'd like to work with, and what kind of help you're looking for. We'll confirm availability with the instructor and send you a quote.

03 / Connect

Book and get to work.

Once you accept the quote and complete payment, we'll introduce you to the instructor directly. From there, you'll set the schedule and format together.
