Author Consulting
- Telephone or Zoom consultation sessions and chapter critiques available
- We all have to start somewhere. When a college English Department Dean told me to seek publication for my work, I had no idea where or how to begin. By taking advantage of every opportunity to question authors and agents—and yes, using an editorial service like this one–her challenge turned my writing into a successful career. And I want to help you reach your goals, as well!
- Starting at $150 for (1) Zoom session and (1) full chapter critique
