"Joe was both a writer and a coach for me. When I got stuck, he bailed me out and made my words ring! I truly feel that

we were co-creators."

Book Writer

As your writer,  I will conduct extensive interviews with you and relevant individuals, gather documents, and research historical records to ensure accuracy and completeness.

 

After careful analysis, I'll use my storytelling skills to craft a compelling narrative that captures the essence of your life, experiences, and achievements.

 

Importantly, I'll collaborate closely with you every step of the way for input, changes, and fresh ideas so that we produce a biography that honors your legacy while engaging and informing readers.

Writing Coach

As your writing coach, I mentor and guide you as you develop and use your skills to achieve your writing goals. You are the writer.

 

I provide personalized feedback, support, and encouragement tailored to your needs. I assist with various aspects of writing, including brainstorming ideas, structuring narratives, refining prose, and overcoming creative blocks. 

 

I offer constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement while nurturing your unique voice and style. I may step in to write here and there should you feel stumped or have writer's block.

 

Whether working with aspiring authors, professionals, or students, I serve as a writing ally on the journey toward literary success, fostering growth, confidence, and mastery in the art of writing!

Pricing

Because each author's goals and budgets are different, I don't offer "package pricing." 

​

After we've talked and I have a full sense of your aspirations, I will offer you a few quotes based on your book's 1) anticipated scope of research, 2) anticipated number of interviews, and 3) anticipated number of writing hours. 

 

Below are the factors you and I will consider as we arrive at my fee.

​

Complexity of Project: Every biography project is unique, with its own set of challenges and requirements. It's difficult to accurately quote a price upfront without knowing the full scope of the project, including research needs, book-length, number of interviews required, and potential revisions.

 

Varying Client Expectations: Naturally, clients have different expectations for their book projects. Some want a simple, elegant retelling of their life story. Others are looking for a more in-depth exploration requiring research and interviews. Some want a mixture of both. Some wish to sell their books; others don't. Most people fall somewhere in between. Understanding your expectations is crucial before providing a quote.

 

Additional Services: Clients may request additional services or assistance with publishing, marketing, and printing. You make the call.
