I am offering an intensive twelve week mentoring session which includes goal-setting, multiple critiques, and one-to-one online meetings. I've extensive experience working with both novice and experoienced writers intrestd in exploring a new genre. I have also advised a number of writer/illustrators.
Within the framework of a twelve week session we
will together design a course that best fits your individual goals.
I will offer three Zoom meetings of one hour each which can be scheduled at your convenience.
- If you do not yet have a manuscript you are happy with, in which case you can share your notes and ideas, or even multiple manuscripts and we can start from there.
- If you already have a picture book manuscript, I will provide detailed notes on the first draft of a the manuscript (max 1200 words) and then again on a revised draft.
- Suggestions will be offered with the goal of achieving a submission-ready, polished draft of your story.
- We will discuss your goals, your submitted materials package, and your publication strategy.
- I will also provide guidance on writing a cover letter and will read and provide a written critique of your letter.
- We will meet for a one hour zoom chat at the beginning, midway, and again at the end of your twelve weeks.
- Throughout the entire session, I will be available to answer your questions via email.
