FAQ
I want to write a book about my life story. What should I do?
I am asked this so frequently and the answer is so complex that I wrote my first blog post about this question.
Will you write my book?
We can talk about it! I reduced my writing projects while working a full-time leadership position in nonprofit communications, but a recent transition into a nonprofit communications consulting role has opened up book writing slots on my calendar. A large majority of my books come through my literary agent and publishers, but you can contact me through this website.
How much do you charge to write a book?
Numerous factors determine the cost of collaborating on a book. However, I do not write books on speculation.
In addition to writing, do you edit books?
Yes. I edit books for one publisher on a contract basis, and I have also served twice as a book doctor for a publisher. When my schedule allows. I also evaluate manuscripts and proposals, and I write articles and marketing emails on a freelance/contract basis. Contact me through this site to inquire about my availability and fees.
I’ve written something I’d like you to read and tell me what you think. Can I send it to you?
I’ve been helped my many people since I began my writing career at age thirteen, and I do what I can to, in turn, give less-experienced writers the help I received. However, the requests tend to be too numerous to help in every situation. I don’t like saying, “No” to people – especially other writers – so I try to do what I can as time allows. But, unfortunately, writing on top of a full-time job doesn’t allow much availability in my schedule.
