Most of my clients use grants or institutional funds to cover coaching sessions. Writing coaching is increasingly considered part of professional development. I have a funding letter template you can tailor to request funding from your institution. (And if you’re not sure, just ask your school! Several of my clients were ready to pay out of pocket when I gave them the letter to send to their department chairs or deans. They were subsequently able to get coaching covered—or at least mostly covered—by their institutions.)
