If you’re someone who simply wants a quick “second pair of eyeballs” to take a look at your work in progress—or you want more in-depth help around any aspect of the (your) writing process, I’m happy to help in that way as well. I had a 14 1/2 year career as a life coach, and I really enjoyed helping people figure out what they had within them so they could reach their goals.
Writing can be a (very) challenging process, and my focus is to help you make it easier in whatever way I can. I consider my assistance to you an open dialogue.
*Additional fees may apply, such as the purchase of images from Shutterstock or similar sites if I am providing you with formatting services and photos are required.
For most jobs, I require a partial payment up front based on what the project is, and then in full upon completion and before I send the completed project.
One-off projects require payment before the work is returned to you. On-going projects generally require payment up front; I then send you a time sheet indicating how long I worked and what I completed.
For certain financial circumstances, we can also discuss payment plans.
