FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $100/hr but offer package discounts (6 hours for $500, 13 hours for $1000) for larger projects. I also have flat fees for specific projects (i.e., notes on a screenplay). I understand that it can make writers nervous to proceed without a price cap, but the amount of time I spend with you depends on what you write - and every writer and project is different.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Friends who were writers began asking my advice and as a producer of Un-Cabaret I found myself helping writers to choose topics and shape their work. My partner and I were asked to teach a workshop about the personal storytelling style of comedy we pioneered and found that while there were workshops available on 'screenwriting' and 'comedy writing', there was nothing that helped people discover their authentic voice and mine their deepest funniest material. Then it turned out that a lot of people needed to work more in-depth to outline, draft and rewrite long-form writing projects, so now here we are.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Giving notes on a rough draft and helping illuminate what's necessary for a really strong rewrite. Helping writers generate more raw material and be more productive. Providing meaningful deadlines.
