We work together to develop the most effective collaborative process for creating the most compelling manuscript. For instance, if I feel that your thesis would be strengthened through additional information, and you do not wish to take the time to write it, we can generate it in this manner:

• I can use an interview/dialogue process with you to generate this new material. I will transcribe, edit and integrate your answers into the matrix of what is already written. I’ll then send the results to you for your further consideration and changes.
• Or, I can research subjects on the Internet for you and write a first draft of the new material that you can work with before we add it to the manuscript in the most appropriate section.

Policies

Through my skills, experience, and intuition; on-going communication with you, and evolving understanding of your goals, audiences and competition – I endeavor to bring all written materials to a level capable of achieving or exceeding your highest intentions for it and expanding your potential reach.
 
When possible (given the timeline), I like to tune your composition to create a 'perfect pitch' that resonates with the mind through the heart of your future readers.

Please Note: Because I only accept projects I can wholeheartedly support, and have experience in writing for and pitching to the media on behalf of my clients, I will likely have marketing suggestions for you that could expand your audience.

Compensation: $125/Hr

For a large book project, we begin with a sample chapter that I edit within an agreed upon number of hours. Based upon our experience with each other’s work, we can then determine a mutually honoring overall project rate and completion date – for first, second and third drafts – because the following conditions will have been met:

• We’ve both had the chance to evaluate the quality of our working relationship.
• You are happy with what you’ve been able to achieve because of it
• I am clear on the scope of your project, your approach to it, and your writing style.
• I have a better sense of what my supportive role will entail, and
• I can more realistically estimate how long it will take me to fulfill it.

Payment Schedule

Generally: 50% is due at the start of the project and the balance at completion.

I accept checks, PayPal, and bank transfers. ​
