I've cleared the backlog of mss., I'm practicing revision avoidance (two in a row--that's just cruel), and I need to pay the utility bills, so I've decided to have a sale. What I do as a Writing Mentor is described fairly generally here. I do R&D and Mad Plotting as well as the usual editing and proofreading. The hourly rate for 2009 is $40; I'm offering $10 off four hours of mentoring, for a total of $150.
That's just about the right amount of time to have some solid plotting sessions, read and comment on a couple of short stories, OR review the first 30,000 words of your novel. I'll also look at submission packages, synopses (and the art of writing thereof), and query letters. Unless Life seriously intervenes, I usually get to a ms. within a week or two. If your project isn't quite ready for review, you can book yourself some distance out; I had a client book at the Christmas sale for July.
Offer applies until midnight PDT on June 21st. Previous and current clients can play, too. Email capriole at gmail dot com and we'll set you up.
Also available, one of my favorite things to do:
Commission-A-Story
Give me a theme, let me know if you want to be Tuckerized (or if you want someone else written into the story), and I'll write you a story. It may be in one of my published worlds, or you can ask for something different. You get an electronic copy of the story, a signed and inscribed hardcopy, and a glowing acknowledgment if and when it sells to the general public. Deadline to be agreed on. This is a great birthday or special-event gift.
Rates are:
$100 for a drabblezoid: up to 1000 words
$350 for up to 6000 words
Want something longer? Let's talk. Same email as above.
Thank you one and all!
