Consultancy & Mentoring

A session of consultation or mentoring lasts for an hour and is offered remotely on Zoom or an alternative platform as preferred.

Each session is charged at £250 or the equivalent in another currency if the writer lives outside the UK.

The fee also includes me reading and providing notes on a portion of the writer’s work prior to each session to generate discussion:

Up to 10,000 words of prose for novels

15-20 pages for screenplays/TV pilots

As well as pages, I can read and comment on outlines, story maps, beat sheets, whatever the writer may have created to help them find their way through their story. A separate fee can be negotiated for this service according to a particular writer’s needs.

Assessment of Pitch or Synopsis & Covering Letter

A fee for written feedback and discussion will be agreed up front with the writer depending on the material submitted.

Workshopping

Fees for workshopping will be agreed with each group of writers in advance depending on the proposed number of sessions.

Initial Consultation

I offer an initial 15-20 minute consultation for free to hear more about your story and its problems, and to suggest how I might be able to help.

Importantly, this also offers an opportunity for you to decide if you would like to work with me.

10% of any fee paid to me will be donated to charities encouraging literacy and creativity in children
