Quick Guidance

Sometimes you need focused wisdom on a specific question

in your writing journey.

This is a brief consultation for writers who:

  • Are stuck at a particular point in their manuscript and need a fresh perspective.

  • Face a structural or organizational question in their book.

  • Need guidance about publishing decisions or next steps.

  • Want clarity about their book's direction or purpose.

  • Have worked with me before and need a check-in.

This is not:

  • A substitute for developmental editing or ongoing creative midwifery.

  • An exploratory conversation about whether we should work together (that's the free Gift Session).

  • Manuscript critique or detailed editing.

What you'll receive:

My focused, utterly present attention to your specific question, drawing on my over 30 years of publications and Book Development experience, and my attunement to your own natural creative wisdom through the “Writing from the Deeper Self” approach. I'll listen deeply to what you're asking and what's underneath it, and offer guidance that serves both your book and your creative wellbeing.

How it works:

Book your Quick Guidance session and you'll receive an email from me with scheduling instructions and information about preparing for our session.

Payment:

Payment of $150 is due when you purchase your session. This secures your time slot and allows us both to show up fully prepared. I accept payment via all major credit cards, PayPal, and Venmo.

Cancellation:

If you need to reschedule, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice cannot be refunded, though we can look at rescheduling when possible.
