What We Do

Manuscript/Proposal review

Price: $295 for up to 25 pages (double-spaced), plus $5/extra page

This service provides a careful review of your book proposal or manuscript sample, and gives you detailed feedback. We will:

• Examine the style, tone, and format of your proposal or manuscript relative to what agents and publishers expect to see.
• Review your proposal’s competitive analysis.
• Critique your writing and make concrete suggestions for improving your content.
• Distill high-impact selling points for your query letter.
• Prepare a detailed, personalized report with recommendations just for you.

For a modest flat fee, priced by proposal page, you will get a complete game plan from a seasoned industry pro that will dramatically boost your chances of getting published.

Online/Telephone coaching services

Price: $65 per half hour coaching session, or $500 per block of 10 sessions

Online or telephone coaching provides regular, ongoing feedback about your writing from a professional, while keeping you inspired and motivated, and on-track. Telecoaching can help you:

• Define your writing voice, genre, and market.
• Review progress and talk through “stuck points.”
• Critique your writing and make concrete suggestions for improving your content.
• Discuss a detailed game plan for completing your project.
• Create a marketing strategy for your work.

Telecoaching represents an inexpensive investment, available to suit your schedule and frequency, that helps you grow as a professional writer with the guidance of an expert.

Editing and ghostwriting services

Price: $75 per hour. Content estimates gladly provided.

Hire the services of an experienced, professional writer to create or improve your projects:

• Content and style editing.
• Ghostwriting services ranging from articles to turnkey book projects.
• Print, presentation and online media content.
• Experienced in corporate, academic, technical, and professional writing.

*Note that I do not generally propose my own editing services to coaching clients, because the goal of coaching is to make you a better writer. Consider using an editor when your goal is to simply improve your material or hire a resource to produce your content.
