FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Writing is often seen as a solitary endeavor. We often have this idea of the writer, isolated, scribbling away or banging on the keyboard. I've found, though, that it is important to maintain relationships with other writers and creatives in various fields. I meet with a local writer's group, I correspond regularly with writer's from my MFA program, and I participate in online writer's chats and forums on a regular basis. It is a great thing when writers can encourage and inspire each other.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Fiction writing instruction, personal history (legacy writing) and family history writing, critique and editing services, writer-in-residence, non-fiction writing, ghostwriting, guided self publishing, seminars, workshops, public speaking.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
There are two things that will help us understand each other: First, take a look at the services I offer. The various pages here address specific areas, but this isn't an exhaustive list of ways I've helped others find their words. As you begin to understand my skills and areas of knowledge, you may find yourself thinking, "Maybe I could use some help, but I'm really not sure..." That's were the SECOND point comes in. The second thing you should do is contact me. We can talk. Talking is free, and it helps us get to know each other. I'll ask you some questions, listen to your answers, and then we can decide what's next.
