Work one-on-one with a writing coach 

Book Coaching  OR PUBLISHING Consultations

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 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.

Manuscript Appraisals

If you have a completed manuscript and you need an honest appraisal this is your first step. You will get a detailed report from an experienced reader in the field that will make suggestions, changes and act an overall assessment. Our readers are all editors or journalists who will give you firm direction and feedback. 

The report will also suggest specific large-scale changes / improvements / refinements (plotting changes, structure changes, pace, characters and overall novel read).

A full manuscript appraisal is $850. I have a discounted rate for SA citizens so please email me on that.

Developmental or High Level Editing

A developmental editor is the top end of editors. They will evaluate and fix your manuscript, suggest and provide revisions, and shape it into a smooth, workable piece. They’ll look at the big picture and make sure everything flows and is consistent.
The costs for this depend on the skill of the editor and the subject  matter of the book

Low end: R20,000 (or $2,520)
High end is = R60,000 or ($5,000)
