Literary Coaching:
"He ne'er is crowned with immortality who fears to follow where airy voices lead." John Keats
Any writer, new or seasoned, can benefit from literary mentoring, someone with whom to walk fearlessly and attune to the muses. I can lead you to start and/or complete your piece or manuscript with:
• Encouragement to write, and re-write
• Editing, and editing, and editing
• Scheduled in-person consultations to talk about the content and process
• Recommend reading
• Provide writing assignments to further content generation and expand and develop drafts
• Consistent contact to support, encourage, and motivate
Manuscript Consultation:
I'll read a manuscript, in any genre, and make line edits directly on the manuscript, provide an additional written critique, and a three hour consultation in person or on the phone.
Book Consultation and Development:
"A book must be an axe for the frozen sea within us." Franz Kafka
Do you have an idea for a book locked inside you? If you're frozen in place and don't know how to start I can help melt the iceberg, get the flow going, and start you on the journey of writing it.
