Creative Writing Coaches are the most important part of the Rising Voices Collective program experience at Novelly. The Rising Voices Collective is a list of the Top 50 diverse teenage writers in North America. As part of their year-long program, these students write, get published, and go on a virtual press tour. Creative Writing Coaches act as personal editors and cheerleaders to these students as they turn their ideas into novellas.

Responsibilities include:

  • Coaching 1 to 3 teenage writers each semester depending on your availability
  • Editing and adding detailed comments to their weekly writing submissions
  • Meeting with each writer weekly for 30 minutes
  • Submitting a brief report on each writer's growth
  • Attend their final readings for moral support

    • What are we looking for?

  • A passion for our mission of amplifying diverse youth voices and building the largest digital library of novellas and poetry written by diverse and talented teenagers
  • A strong skill set in creative writing, editing, communication, and adhering to deadlines
