| Services Any one can write, so we say. And that's true, depending on what you mean. Sometimes we've got too many other things going on to want to fuss with word choice, length of writing, formatting and use of keywords. Sometimes we need encouragement and coaching to get over the hurdle of making time for writing in our all-too-busy world. Sometimes we don't have the words we need for the specific task at hand. Let me help you. As someone with years of rigorous writing experience as required in major US organizations, as well as creative and memoir writing, I can save you time, money, headaches, worry and leave you feeling at ease, relieved and pleased. Here are some of the services I offer.
Most of my services are priced on an hourly basis, or on a project rate. My hourly rate for in-person services is $150 an hour. I invite those who can to pay at a higher rate since I provide many pro-bono services in the community to those suffering from family illness, loss, financial weakness and more. By doing so, you end up sponsoring work that helps others. As you might expect, sometimes I can provide immediate turn-around, and at other times, due to prior commitments, we'll negotiate a completion date. If you have something you need immediate help with, if I'm available, I will consider it. | | Copywriting
Are you looking for a writer to review what you've written, or to write content for a brochure, website, press release, news article, advertisement or announcement, call me and let's see if my experience is a good match for your needs. I am especially interested in working with creative people - writers, artists, potters, musicians; alternative health care providers - therapists, naturalists, massage therapists; and people who work to make contributions to our society, culture and world.
Copyediting
Ever noticed how easy it is to edit someone else's work, but how hard it is to edit your own? It's like a rule of nature that when you do your own writing, you need to get someone else to edit it. They do it faster, easier and probably better. Need something reviewed? Call now and let's make an appointment to go over it. Freelance Writing
Do you want an article written for your web site, for your magazine or newspaper? Do you need an extra writer for your project? Do you want to feature yourself or your company in an article? I am available for writing articles about people, businesses, nature, trends and more. For local publication, I take my own photos and edit them. Depending on what projects I am involved in, I can be available immediately, or within a week or two, call and let's talk.
Consulting and Coaching
I consider the difference between consulting and coaching to be one of content. The consultant is an expert in content and shares that content with her client. The coach is an expert on awareness, process, motivation and insight. She provides a crystal clear mirror for her clients to see what they know, where they find momentum and where they get stuck. The nature of the coaching work if far more intimate, requiring participation and engagement with the client. Consulting
As a consultant I can advise you about your writing; about setting up a workable book development project plan or about places to publish your writing online. I can talk with you about self-publishing options with no up-front investment or ones with some up front investment. When you hire me as a consultant I am your advisor, giving you the information you need and making recommendations. Coaching
Is there a book in you? Is there a story that you know you want to tell but just haven't been able to make time for it, or when you do, you just aren't able to get through it? If you haven't yet had an experience with a coach, you might be delighted to find out what a tremendous boost it is to your productivity to have someone who genuinely believes in your work and helps you see what you need to do to accomplish your goal. I coach authors and writers of creative content, memoirs and material related to the social sciences, human beings and living creatures. I coach by phone, and sometimes in person for those who live nearby in the Triangle region of North Carolina.
