I work with writers based all over the world to help them start, plan, change or review their books. I also work with publishers who may refer promising non-fiction authors to me for help in structure, tone and process. The process is formal but flexible. We start with an initial session and we discuss your book and review your material. I will give you direction, structure, deadlines and word counts and tasks. Thereafter we meet every two weeks.
