Do you have a large  nonfiction writing project on your hands?  Or are you feeling compelled to start one but not sure how to do that? Writing a book is work but it can be fun and extremely satisfying. I’d like to help you make your book dream come true.

Using my experience writing and publishing over a dozen books as well as coaching others who have successfully published their work, I can help you conceptualize, outline and organize your nonfiction book or memoir.

I can help you stay on course with your writing and research schedule and provide feedback for you as you go along, helping you to keep from getting stuck and helping you understand what writing a book and publishing it involve each step of the way.

Hire me by the month to be your writing coach and you will get more done than you can imagine:

• You’ll spend your first coaching hour with me on the phone talking about your project.

• I will send you an outline and work plan after that discussion to help you begin your project without hesitation.  If you are needing to revise a manuscript, I’ll work on re-visioning the book’s organization.

• I’ll  create a schedule for talking with you each week for an hour to help you over stumbling blocks with writing ideas and exercises to keep you finding the richness in your material.

• We’ll work by phone, email and screen share to keep making progress on the book you are working on.

Fee: $400 for the initial month, $375 for subsequent months. Email info@writingitreal.com for more information.

Help Editing and Developing Essays, Poems, Stories, Articles, Book Chapters, Book Proposals and Whole Manuscripts

Sometimes coaching that helps you know what to do is not enough. Sometimes an editor’s skillful hand is what you need–someone who will make the changes and develop the material for you based on the information you supply.

I work individually with Writing It Real members by telephone and email. I make edits that address structure and organization, wording and phrasing, deep meaning and how to evoke it, as well as ways in which your manuscript can be developed for marketability.

I keep track of the minutes I use in each pass before I send the work back for further information from you. I let you know with each pass how much of the time you purchased is left. Response time is within 3 days.

If you need a developmental editor, purchase one or more hours and email me your work and a description of how you’d like to enhance it. I will edit and return your document to you within three days as well as call you if we need telephone time.

Developmental and Line Editing – $120 Per Hour (1 hour minimum)
