coaching hours
. . .
work with a mentor, a tutor, a guide,
incrementally
You can purchase a package of coaching time, to be used in any way you would like — as long as the assistance you’re looking for is in my wheelhouse, naturally.
What kinds of things can I help you with?
Strengthening and improving your writing style and technique (for articles, essays, or stories)
Building stronger scenes and writing punchier dialogue
Developing a stronger synopsis
Solving a story problem in a piece of flash or a short story
Guidance as you write
Developing a plan for building your platform (your visibility and reach in the marketplace)
Personalized accountability
. . . and more
You can also use this avenue to test me out, see whether you like working together.
Hourly: $120 / hour
Three-hour package: $220
That’s a savings of almost 40 percent. It’s like getting one hour free, and then some.
. . .
For coaching projects of longer duration, we would likely make different arrangements. Short editing projects are calculated differently, by editing rates.
