About this Gig
I will be your writing coach and help develop your story, not by telling you what to write, but by helping you hear what you already know.
I am Alberto De Claraval, a published bilingual author from Chile. My method is called Via Claraval: writing mentorship built on contemplative tenderness, honest fire, and illuminating clarity. Your story. Your pace. Your voice.
This is for you if you have an idea worth developing but don't know how to move it forward. If you feel stuck between a vision and a real manuscript. If you need a companion on the road, not a critic at the door.
I offer focused coaching sessions with written summaries and follow-up assignments. I work in English and Spanish. Custom orders are always open. Message me before booking if your situation doesn't fit a standard package, and we'll build something that fits exactly where you are.

FAQ
Do I need a finished manuscript or complete idea before booking?
No — most clients come with a half-formed idea or stuck chapters. We start wherever you are. The first session is about finding where the real work begins, not evaluating what you've already done.
How do we schedule the session and what platform do we use?
After ordering, I send a scheduling link with my available times. Sessions run via Google Meet or Zoom. I work across time zones. Message me before booking if you have a tight deadline.
Can I have my session in Spanish?
Yes, completely. I am a published bilingual author and work fluently in both English and Spanish. Just let me know when you book — the entire session and follow-up will be in Spanish.
What is the difference between writing coaching and editing?
Editing works on finished text. Coaching works with the writer before and during writing. I don't rewrite your work — I help you write it better yourself. Your voice stays yours.
What if I just want one session before committing to a package?
The Basic package — The Opening — is exactly that. One focused 30-minute session on one specific problem. No commitment beyond that single conversation. You can upgrade anytime.
