My arrangements are flexible according to your needs. My fee is $20.00 an hour. We work at your pace. I ask that you pay a month at the time, and in advance, according to how many hours a month you want. Once we agree to work together, I will send you a link to pay with Pay Pal.
For example, you can pay for--say--a month's worth of classes at one hour a week, two hours a week, or whatever, depending upon the speed at which you desire, the volume you submit each time, the speed at which you want to complete the manuscript, and, of course, your financial requirements.
I require a commitment for a minimum of two, one-hour sessions a month for one month ($40.00). That way we stay focused. If you or I need to reschedule a sessions that could definitely be arranged.
I will ask you to send me a chapter at the time for critique and discussion, then we will consult by phone or by Skype (which works well for these sessions.) Also, I will occasionally send you a handout article to read that I think might be helpful (at no extra cost to you.)
In order to be the most effective, you will find that I encourage you to pay careful attention to the feedback and use it in the next chapter, etc. That way it saves you time and money.
Then, when your manuscript is ready, we can move to Level 2, which is query writing, synopsis, book blurbs, finding an agent and/or a publisher.
If I haven't answered all your questions, please ask. I look forward to an opportunity to work with you!
Also, I offer one free, five page consultation to see if what I offer meets your needs. Email me and we will make arrangements for your free submission. sylvia(at)sylviadickeysmith.com (remember to substitute @ for the parenthesis and word at.
