1) COACHING CONSULTATION:

If you are interested in learning about the concept of writing, the process of writing a full novel, what to look for when editing, or just generally improving your knowledge of storytelling and story structure, the Coaching Consultation is ideal for you. We can discuss any number of topics pertaining to writing in a friendly, laid-back manner.

Some clients have even used the time to email me pieces of their work and go through specific sections of concern to be given feedback (like a live reading). Basically, the phone calls allow clients the opportunity to get a professional opinion about their literary work, weaknesses, and goals. In fact, many clients have told me it is the best service I offer. Calls can be handled either through cellular or internet communication.

• Pricing: $30 for 30-minutes or $50 for 60 minutes.

2) Manuscript RE-WRITE:

In some instances, a writer might want to gain insight into how to best continue with their manuscript by seeing it in its most polished form. In other cases, a writer simply might want a manuscript they finished to be reinterpreted and refined. The Manuscript Re-Write service is perfect for such writers.

With your guidance and direction, I will endeavor to rewrite either a piece, or the entirety, of your manuscript as best as I see fit. If you would like to see firsthand how I would approach the rewriting of your material, clients are welcome to submit three paragraphs from their manuscript and request them to be rewritten as a sample, free of charge. (Rewrites not available for scripts or comics)

• Pricing: $65.00 per thousand words. 3,000 word minimum (equivalent to a $195.00 minimum)

• The edits will be returned to you written out as a document in PDF form.

• You are welcome to submit a manuscript under 3,000 words, however, you will still be charged the $195.00 minimum.

3) MANUSCRIPT CONSULTATION:

For those clients looking for a professional opinion and critique of their work, this is the service for you. With this editing service, I will read through your submitted work, and then with an included 60-minute Coaching Consultation, discuss my criticisms, concerns, and praises of the manuscript. This consultation will include considerations of the plot structure, overall narrative, marketability, level of entertainment, and many other key factors.

It is also highly helpful that when a client submits their manuscript, they also provide a list of items for me to pay attention to/assess during my read through. Likewise, I recommend clients come to the included Coaching Consultation with questions prepared in order to get the most out of the discussion.

NOTE: This Manuscript Consultation in its base form is best suited for polished manuscripts that do not need serious structural or internal changes. For those clients looking for a more comprehensive, written edit of their work, make sure to look through the Focuses service below.

• Pricing: (The more you submit, the cheaper it becomes!)

• The first 1000 - 10,000 words: $25.00 per thousand words. 5,000 word minimum (equivalent to a $125 minimum)

• The next 10,000 - 50,000 words: $17.50 per thousand words

• The next 50,000 - 100,000 words: 15.00 per thousand words

• After 100,000 words and above: $12.50 per thousand words

• Clients who purchase this editing service are also able to add additional 30-minute segments to their Coaching Consultation for $25 each.

As an example, if a client were to submit 125,000 words, the breakdown would be as follows:

** -$250** for the first 10,000 words ($25 rate x 10,000 words)

** -$700** for the next 40,000 words ($17.50 rate x 40,000 words)

-$750 for the next 50,000 words ($15.00 rate x 50,000 words)

-$312.50 for the next 25,000 words ($12.50 rate x 25,000 words)

Totalling: $2012.50 for all 125,000 words.

4) Focuses:

A client may choose a single or multiple focuses to go along with what is discussed in their purchased Manuscript Consultation. These Focuses will be detailed, written edits that specifically address the topic of the Focus and how it appears in your manuscript. Focuses are great for clients who know exactly what strengths and weaknesses they would like edited in their work. In this way, the editing service is tailor-made to target your areas of greatest desire, rather than aspects you may not be concerned about. This fosters a more precise editing experience and significantly faster turnaround.

For clients who do not know what strengths and/or weaknesses lie within their manuscript, and therefore have a difficult time choosing a Focus, you are more than welcome to submit 1000 words of your work so that I might suggest what Focus you should choose.

• Pricing:

• Dialogue Focus: 30% of the Manuscript Consultation cost

• Prose and Voice Focus: 30% of the Manuscript Consultation cost

• Exposition/Worldbuilding Focus: 25% of the Manuscript Consultation cost

• Character Development Focus: 25% of the Manuscript Consultation cost

• Fight Scene Focus: 20% of the Manuscript Consultation cost

Example: If the cost of your Manuscript Consultation is $500, adding on a Dialogue Focus will increase the cost by 30%, bringing the cost to $650. For the same $500 Manuscript Consultation, adding a Dialogue Focus and a Fight Scene Focus will increase the cast by 50%, bringing the cost $750.

You are welcome to add as many or as few Focuses to your Manuscript Consultation as you please.

5)Proofreading

Where other options are more focused on narrative and larger scale edits, these options are specifically for those look for line by line, word by word edits on their manuscript.

With the proofreading service, you will be provided with a comprehensive check of grammar, punctuations, mispellings, and syntax throghout the whole of your manuscript. Keep in mind, this service is for manuscripts that are narratively polished and complete. With the proofreading service, you will be left with a manuscript that is submission ready!
