Book Creation Services
Even if you delegate all the writing to me, YOU are the author because without you, the book would not exist. As your cowriter, I help guide the content creation and then I compose the prose.*
*Sadly, not on a beautiful typewriter...
OUTLINING: Through a series of phone/video-call consultations, I will help you identify the aim of your book and your ideal readers. Then we will unload your brain of all the points you want to share in the book before streamlining and structuring that information into a compelling chapter-by-chapter outline. You are then free to take that outline to another writer, take on the writing yourself (see Coaching), or take it into the cowriting stage with me.
Fee $1,000
COWRITING: Following the outline we have created together, I will write your entire book using material collected from in-depth telephone interviews with you (and your colleagues/clients, if appropriate), plus any archival material you may have. The outcome is a final manuscript that's ready for formatting.
Contact me for pricing information. Payment plans are available.
COACHING: Writing a book is difficult, especially for people who don't identify as writers. I will coach you through the process, chapter-by-chapter, following the outline we have co-created until you have a completed first draft. At that point, I will provide a manuscript assessment that will help you write your final draft. Coaching clients receive a discount on the editing services (see Editing page).
Fee $50 per hour

- I only take on cowriting or coaching clients who have worked with me on their outline. Trust me: it'll be easier for both of us!
