Writing Coach Packages & Rates
Need a little (or a lot of) help on the writing front?
Linden provides a FREE initial 30-minute phone consultation.
She usually suggests that new clients (especially those already working on a project) hire her to assess their pages and their writing. The charge for this service starts at $1,750, payable in advance.
Linden reads through the whole manuscript (or however many pages have already been written), and provides a detailed memo about what she thinks works, what doesn’t, and what’s needed. If you agree with her analysis and want to proceed, Linden can either function as a writing coach or as an editor.
Writing Coach
You can choose among four writing coach packages. Non-refundable monthly fees are due in advance at the beginning of each month. Most clients prefer the convenience of credit card billing, in which you authorize automatic billing each month (no checks to write and no reminders).
Platinum Plan
- Starts at $2,700/month
- Eight—two weekly—60-minute phone coaching sessions (or equivalent)
- Up to ten hours of manuscript reading & assessment, development editing and email exchanges per month
Gold Plan
- Starts at $1,400/month
- Eight—two weekly—30-minute phone coaching sessions (or equivalent)
- Up to four hours of manuscript reading & assessment, developmental editing and email exchanges per month
Silver Plan
- Starts at $750/month
- Four 30-minute phone coaching sessions per month (or equivalent)
- Up to two hours of manuscript reading & assessment, developmental editing and email exchanges per month
Bronze Plan [available only to those self-directed types who don’t struggle when it comes to getting in writing time]
- Starts at $500/month
- Two 30-minute phone coaching sessions per month (or equivalent)
- Up to one hour of manuscript reading & assessment, developmental editing and email exchanges
With any of these packages, additional reading, evaluations, and email exchanges extending past the agreed-upon time limits are available upon request and will be charged at $150/hour.
Linden strongly recommends that you commit to a minimum three-month writing coaching relationship. Together you will set month-by-month phone sessions and deadlines for you to get her newly written material, preferably at the same time each week. If you must reschedule either, 24-hour notice is required. Missed sessions must be made up during that same calendar month or be forfeited.
Editor
Editing is not included in writing coach services. Editor rates run $150 an hour.
Return Policy: Sorry . . . no refunds on the monthly writing coach package or editing will be provided unless the writing coach or editing services have not yet been started.
Privacy Policy: The operative word here is private. Your information stays with me. Period.
