£145 for a close-reading and appraisal of a work-in-progress with follow-up one-hour phone call
Coaching is a personal, professional and progressive relationship in which we work closely together to improve your skills and develop your style as a writer. This will usually be based around the advancement and completion of a specific project, either a novel, a collection of short stories, or a piece of life writing or general nonfiction. Coaching entails formal and informal communication and knowledge transfer through sharing documents, email and some telephone contact. I am a very experienced teacher and writing coach, as well as an accomplished writer of fiction and nonfiction and a highly regarded editor, if I do say so myself. I’m culturally literate and open-minded, and whether you’re writing experimental literary fiction or working in a commercial genre I will understand your vision and be able to help make it a reality. For each coaching session you submit sections of your work in progress (up to 10,000 words on a negotiated turnaround time), along with any supporting documentation and specific questions (not counted in your word limit). I then read closely (embedding comments in your document), and feed back in an accompanying written report. At the end of the process, you should have a complete manuscript. Sessions can follow whatever schedule suits you, and there is no obligation to ever pay for or commit to more than one at a time, assuming you’d like more than one session. Time between sessions is also not an issue.
