Manuscript Critique & Author Consultations

Author Consultation

Are you just beginning your memoir and have no idea where to go? Are you concerned about legalities and getting sued (somehow, a lot of people are, and they shouldn’t be)? Are you not even sure you should write a memoir? What’s the difference between memoir and creative nonfiction anyway? Before you invest time and effort in writing, an author consultation can help you answer questions at the beginning of the writing process.

Author consultations can also be effective on the back end. If you’ve finished your memoir and are wondering, “What now?” an author consultation can help you develop a focused and actionable plan for getting your book wherever you wish to take it.
