WRITERS SERVICES
 

I analyze completed manuscripts.  In addition to the final analysis, I coach the entire range of writing your book from developing the concept to finding your voice and writing the text.  Call me at 970-385-5884 for a complimentary telephone session, the best way for me to find out about you as a writer, determine your needs and design a course of action for you to accomplish your professional goals.
 

$75 an hour for one-on-one sessions and for reading and evaluating manuscripts. If you want an estimated charge for your manuscript, please call me at 970-385-5884.

(If you want to estimate the charge yourself: It takes me approximately 2 minutes to read/analyze a double spaced sheet of text.  Multiply the number of your double spaced pages by 2 and divide by 60.  Multiply the result by $75.  For example: Two hundred double spaced pages x 2 = 400 minutes divided by 60 minutes would result in 6.67 hours x $75 = $500.  That would be an estimate of the basic reading/analysis charge for your text.  Then you have to add a minimum of one hour for your telephone conference.  So, the estimate for your text would be $575.)

Call me to discuss at 970.385.5884.
 

An evaluation of Plot, Structure, Character, Dialogue and Narrative.  You receive both typed overview notes and specific suggestions on the text.  The telephone interview allows me to elaborate on the notes and gives you the opportunity to ask questions once you have had time to digest the notes.
 

I work nationally and internationally with clients.  Manuscripts can be sent electronically.  I edit and make notes using Microsoft Word Millennium.  I work on the telephone or in person.
 

English is a second language for some international clients. Because of my extensive background in Language Structures, I am able to effectively bring those texts into American English.
