Mentoring
Have a question about writing? Need someone to talk through a particular sticky plot point? Or perhaps you just want to discuss your overall project with a friendly and experienced ear?
From my own experience, I know how important these processes are, and how valuable a writing peer or mentor can be. I offer hourly mentoring appointments and I am happy to tailor them to an individual writer's needs. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your project in more detail!
Beta & Sensitivity Reading
Describe your service here. What makes it great? Use short catchy text to tell people what you offer, and the benefits they will receive. A great description gets readers in the mood, and makes them more likely to go ahead and book.
