Do You Need Help With Writer's Block or
Want Honest Feedback
Before You Publish?
We offer coaching and review sessions
One to One Coaching
Writer's block? Or something else getting in your way?
Writing a book can be a lonely journey, and if you've not published a book before then it can be fraught with perils along the way.
I can support you in all aspects of writing your book, whether that's to help you improve the quality of your book, provide guidance with the publishing process or help you to get through the emotional barriers that we can all face along the way.
The sessions will be tailored to suit your needs, whatever they might be and can be paid for on a session by session basis, or if you want to show true commitment to your book you can block book sessions.
The standard rate £200 per session with discounts for block booking.
Writing Review and Feedback Session
Honest to goodness feedback to help you to write better
It's amazing how much you can learn to improve your writing when you receive feedback about two pages of your work.
Provide up to two A4 pages, double line spaced, 12 font size of your writing and Maria will provide feedback about how to improve the quality and the reader experience.
All feedback is given for your consideration only, with explanations for the various suggestions. The document will be returned to you with tracked changes and comments added.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more in a one hour online video session, where Maria will go through the changes and answer any questions that may arise.
Investment £250
Proposal and/or Synopsis Review
Need help to develop your book proposal, synopsis or enquiry letter?
You've written your book, or your almost there, and you would like to approach a publisher or literary agent to see if you can get it accepted by a publishing house. You need a book proposal, a synopsis and an enquiry letter.*
This kick start service includes a one hour online video session to discuss the potential content of either your book proposal, or the synopsis and enquiry letter. You will write the document and Maria will provide feedback via tracked changes. If more sessions are required, these are charged at the normal one to one coaching rates.
One session plus feedback is £250
*This is useful to do even if you intend to self-publish. Ask me why!
