I work with non-fiction writers — authors, bloggers, speakers, and experts.
Here are some of the ways we can work together.

Update:

At this time, I am taking on the following types of projects:

  • Book proposal development: $1,200 minimum
  • Manuscript development coaching and/or editing: $5,000 minimum

I wish you all the best with your book project!

 

Package 1

A medium-paced schedule with writing deadlines every other week

  • Two 45-minute coaching sessions/month via phone or Skype
  • Two writing deadlines/month
  • For example, one Wednesday we’ll have a session. The next Wednesday you’ll submit work for me to review.
  • During our sessions, we’ll talk through my notes on your writing, address your questions, brainstorm solutions and outline next steps
  • My feedback will be directly related to you goals, audience, and purpose for writing
  • You’ll also receive hand-selected resources, narrative examples, and custom assignments based on where you need the most support
  • We’ll use email to continue our conversation between sessions
  • Investment: $400/month

Custom packages

If you have a specific project or deadline, let me know in the pre-coaching worksheet and we can design a package that meets your needs.

For example:

Talk sessions only (no reading)
This is most helpful in the early planning stages.

Rock your publishing deadline
You have a book deal (yay!) Which also means you have a deadline (oh shit). And the last thing you want is for your editor to be the first professional to read your manuscript.

Book proposal editing
A high level review of your book proposal. I’ll be reviewing your pitch with a 1,000-foot view. As in, “how about killing off Part 1 of your entire book and starting with Part 2?” If you are looking for quick and easy edits, that’s best left to a proofreader. My role is to help you turn your book proposal into something you can sell.

Developmental editing of your full manuscript
Whether it’s fresh from your keyboard or has been hiding in your bottom drawer for a decade, I’ll read your entire manuscript (twice) and give high-level developmental feedback, and also outline recommendations for getting this baby into the hands of your readers.

How to get started

  • Sign up for a 45-minute strategy session which will take place via phone or Skype, whichever you prefer
  • I’ll also also ask you to send a few sample pages
  • By the end of our strategy session, we should have a good idea which of my coaching options would make the most sense for you and your writing goals
  • Once we agree to get started, I’ll send you a PayPal invoice and recommend meetings times and deadlines
