Adult Writing Coach
Are you looking for someone to read your essay and give you some editing advice? Have you written half of your memoir and need someone to look it over and offer guidance? Maybe you haven't started anything yet and need encouragement. I can help.

*INCLUDES:
Consultation and discussion (I will discuss your ideas with you, offer feedback and suggestions for structure and story).
2 full rounds of edits (one on a Google doc as you write and the other on a final draft).
Discussion of next steps (synopsis, proposal, cover letters to agents, agent list)
50% must be paid in advance.
My style is very direct and thorough, but the piece will always retain your voice. If all you want is a reader, that's ok too. But, traditionally, I focus on line-item edits, grammar, structure, and content. There is never any pressure to work beyond your time constraints, but I will check in weekly to discuss your progress, if that is what you'd like.
