Writing Coach
I provide private consultation to writers at all levels and have extensive experience in one-on-one tutoring. Rate is $50 per hour and is usually done by phone and email. I can help you prepare an application for graduate school or encourage you on a major writing project. I can offer assignments, help you set and keep deadlines, discuss technique, and suggest interesting reading. The aim is to help you set and meet your own writing goals in a very personalized style of teaching. Coaching is often combined with Creative Critique (below).
Creative Critique/ Editing
I have many techniques to help writers find their story and tell it successfully. I read manuscripts at a rate of $5 per page. (This means a double-spaced page of Times, 12-point font, approximately 250 words.) The fee includes a detailed written response to your work, outlining the strengths and weaknesses of the writing, as well as line-by-line editing suggestions. It does not include detailed proofreading, word-by-word changes, or extensive grammar correction. For longer work, please contact me for additional information and reduced pricing.
