I provide a number of services to writers: editing, consulting and coaching.

EDITING

WRITING CONSULTING AND COACHING

SUGGESTED FEES

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.

Editing consists of my giving your work a read-through for necessary corrections for clarity.

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.

all texts should be in Courier size 12

For script notes/consulting (one draft of the work)

TV drama scripts (no sit-coms):
Comic scripts:

Other prose: Fiction and non-fiction, any genre

COACHING

For coaching the price is $10 less than double the consulting fees.
