Multi-Session Coaching
Ongoing engagement for writers who want to build a long term coaching relationship.
I recommend sampling my service through one or more of the above services before engaging with me long term. Let’s make sure we work well together, that I’m helping you to grow and improve as a writer before you commit to anything longer term.
3 Month Package: $275
6 Month Package: $500
This is an ongoing conversation in the text medium of your choice. Interspersed with calls (voice/video) every 2 weeks or so.
Payment Terms
Payment up front for this one, but I do reserve the right to refuse clients who haven’t worked with me on shorter term engagements first, and to refund any unused portion of advance payments if I feel that I am not meeting my own expectations as to level and quality of service.
All pricing is in US dollars.
