WRITING CONSULTING AND COACHING

If you are looking for help in polishing your skills at various types of writing, I'm here to help you along the way. Screenplays, comic book scripting, prose or poetry, if you want to hone your writing, I can sharpen your edges.

Consulting consists of my giving your work a thorough read-through, and giving you notes on the work. We'll then do some follow-up discussion on the notes. The discussion can be by email, IM chat or phone, depending on our schedules and availability.

Coaching consists of the above services, but for 2 drafts of your work, rather than one.

FEES (Introductory rates -- short time only)

all texts should be in Courier size 12

"I will say that, as a writing teacher, you've pushed me harder towards excellence and given me more useful and straightforward criticism than any other writing teacher I've had – and I majored in English and completed the coursework for an MFA in Creative Writing in Fiction...." - Sean Crymble.
