EMAIL MENTORING

Writers see the world differently and express themselves differently. Those differences can lead to isolation, creative blocks, and mood swings. Working with a mentor who understands the psychological nuances of being a creative being can lead to a more fulfilling (and successful) personal and professional life.

Working with Shel, you get the best of both worlds: a trusted friend, who knows how to listen, and an experienced writer and editor, who knows how to guide you through rough patches.

Stuck in the Middle

Are you mid-project and unsure? Do you need feedback to get back on track?
Has writer’s block set in? To start, you’ll send twenty-five to thirty pages of the work in question at least two weeks before the scheduled 45-minute Zoom call. You will receive complete line edits and revision notes of those pages before the call. During the call, project-specific questions will be answered to help inform your way forward.

Is your first draft complete? Would you like line edits and revision notes to prepare the project for next steps? What are those next steps anyway? The Complete Project Support Package includes written edits and revision notes on a finished work up to 80,000 words. (Works over this word count will be considered for an additional fee.) Four, one-hour Zoom calls are included to aid in clarification of revision notes, ongoing revision support, and next step planning for publication.
