A guide to creative coaching, poetry, songwriting, screenwriting, and musical theatre. Interviews and essays provide instruction and advice from acclaimed writers and industry experts. These are followed by a concluding piece called Mentor Me: An Inside View, which guides the reader through the creation of first and final drafts of a poem, song, or screenplay, to give a sense of the process and possible outcome of one-on-one mentoring sessions.
