Coaching Services

Whether you have an idea or a manuscript, I can help you reach your goals.

Coaching begins with an initial 30-minute Zoom or phone call to hear about your goals for this project. This step may be handled via email if that's your preference.

From there, a writer can reserve blocks of time on my schedule. 

Coaching costs $80 per hour and is sold in packages; a five-hour package is the minimum. I use Square's invoicing and payment can be made through Square. I also accept PayPal or Venmo.

How you spend your coaching time is up to you: brainstorming, written feedback in Word, verbal feedback via a phone call or Zoom, identifying the right comps, reviewing world-creation to ensure it hangs together, researching historical facts for accuracy. We can set up a regular meeting schedule. If you'd like homework or deadlines to keep you on track, I can do that! I also co-write and ghostwrite. 

Coaching is more than just a manuscript; I'm here to support you on many levels as you begin or continue on your career as an author. I can explain the differences in self-publication and traditional publication. We can create an action plan beyond the manuscript. If you wish to query agents, we can find ones who seem to be a fit for you and your book and ensure you have an amazing query letter that will make the recipient hurry on to read the opening pages of your manuscript. If you have a pitch coming up, we can practice. If you need your online presence reviewed, updated, or started, I can assist in all of those areas: author platform, consistent and relevant engagement, literary citizenship. I'm here to support you in whatever manner you need.
