Creative Writing Partner

I'm hiring a Creative Partner to sit with me and help me make things. This is a writing and content production role — not therapy, not coaching, not clinical work.

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
I create content about mental health, identity, and lived experience. I'm strongest when speaking, so here's how sessions work: I talk through ideas. You ask questions that sharpen them. You draft on a shared doc in real time while we work. We walk out with something publishable — a LinkedIn post, a blog essay, a newsletter piece.

Think of it as what a writing partner, editorial collaborator, or podcast producer does. You're helping shape raw thinking into published content.

WHO THIS IS FOR
You're probably a great fit if you:
- Are a current student with a writing, journalism, English, or creative background
- Have some experience drafting, editing, or producing content (school newspaper, personal blog, freelance work, zines — it all counts)
- Are interested in mental health topics but want to engage with them through writing, not clinical practice in this role
- Have a calm, grounding presence and are comfortable with silence
- Care more about getting ideas out into the world than making them perfect
- Can commit to 2–3 in-person sessions per week in San Francisco

This could work especially well for students in counseling or psychology programs who came to that field from a creative or writing background — your listening skills and comfort with personal material are exactly what makes someone good at this. But to be clear: this is not a clinical placement, practicum, or therapeutic role of any kind.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
- Anyone looking for clinical hours or supervised practice
- Anyone who would frame this as therapy, coaching, or "holding space"
- Anyone who can't meet in person in San Francisco
- Anyone looking for a senior-level content strategy role

THE DETAILS
- $50–65/hr depending on experience
- 2–3 sessions per week, 90 min to 2 hours each
- In-person in San Francisco (non-negotiable)
- Ongoing — flexible around your class schedule
- No resume required to apply — just tell me a bit about your background and why this sounds interesting

TO APPLY
Send a few sentences about:
1. What's your writing or creative background?
2. Why does this kind of collaboration appeal to you?
3. Are you available for in-person sessions in SF 2–3x/week?
