Writing Coach

$35/hr Starting at $35

If you’re anything like me, you want your project to be your project. You don’t want to hand it over to an editor with carte blanche—but at the same time, you need some help. You need feedback, critique, a solution for writer’s block, or simply a boot in the rear to get moving on the hard parts. That’s where I come in. Whether you have a completed manuscript or just an idea or outline, I can evaluate where you are, listen to your goals, and help you meet them. My help looks however you need it to look. For one client, it’s a couple hundred comments in the margin of a Word document. For another, it’s an evaluation of gaps in the story and a draconian revision calendar with accountability. For others, we bounce ideas around on the phone till their fingers are itching to pound the keyboard.

    This project was my first time having a book edited. Kerri was thorough in her edits. She provided lots of feedback on questions the book raised as well as where more might be better. I was a little overwhelmed at first, but the feedback was what I needed to make the book more compelling. She followed through on her commitments and was flexible when I needed it. I appreciated Kerri's positive approach. I felt like I had a real partner in this project. Thank you, Kerri!

    Kerri has been highly professional. She has provided work in a timely manner and maintained communication throughout. She's made this process seem easy - especially nice for a first time user of guru.com.
