The Storybreath School Writing Coaching Terms

These terms apply to all writing coaching services, programs, packages, subscriptions, and related offerings provided by The Storybreath School and Ash Wylder LLC.

1. Coaching Structure & Commitment

The Storybreath School offers both ongoing writing coaching and contained programs.
Some offerings operate on a subscription basis with no minimum commitment, while others are time-limited or program-based. The structure of your coaching relationship depends on the specific offering you purchase.

When applicable, additional program guides or agreements outlining the scope, duration, and structure of a specific program are provided at the point of purchase and are considered part of these terms.

2. Session Changes & Missed Sessions

Clients are required to provide a minimum of 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel a coaching session.
Sessions canceled or changed with less than 48 hours’ notice may be forfeited.

This policy exists to support clear boundaries, consistent scheduling, and mutual respect for time.

3. Refunds, Cancellations, & Unused Sessions

  • Refunds are not issued after 24 hours following the first coaching session or program start date.

  • If a client cancels an ongoing coaching subscription, they have 30 days to use any unused sessions remaining in their account.

  • Partial refunds are not offered for unused sessions or early withdrawal from a program.

If a client is unable to continue due to financial or life circumstances, they are encouraged to reach out directly so next steps can be discussed with care.

4. Payment

  • Payment is due at the start of each billing cycle or according to the payment plan selected at checkout.

  • Payments are processed securely through The Storybreath School’s online payment system.

  • Failure to maintain payment may result in paused access to scheduling or coaching services.

5. Scheduling

  • Coaching sessions are scheduled through the online booking system.

  • Sessions are subject to availability, and advance booking is encouraged.

  • Program-based offerings may have fixed session dates or submission deadlines, which are outlined in the relevant program guide.

6. Confidentiality

All coaching sessions are confidential. Information shared during sessions will not be disclosed to third parties without the client’s consent, except where required by law.

7. Coaching Relationship & Conduct

Clients are expected to engage in coaching sessions with professionalism, respect, and care.

The Storybreath School reserves the right to pause or terminate the coaching relationship if:

  • behavior is inappropriate or disruptive, or

  • the coaching relationship is no longer a healthy or effective fit for either party.

8. Communication

  • Communication outside of scheduled sessions should relate directly to coaching logistics or submitted work.

  • Coaches typically respond within 24–48 business hours, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

9. Responsibility & Liability

Coaching is a collaborative, creative process.
The Storybreath School does not guarantee specific outcomes and is not responsible for decisions or actions taken by clients as a result of coaching.

Clients remain fully responsible for their creative work, choices, and well-being.
