Mentoring
You have a project and you need some personalized help.
Of course you need this, each person is unique. My best advice is one on one and this is why I make this time available to meet via the phone, Go-To-Meeting or in person at my Portland office. We talk, in depth, about your writing and I will read some pages too. It’s a very personal, relaxed and inspiring experience.
Three spots are available per week and I need about two weeks advance notice to put you on the schedule.
CONTACT: Email me to arrange our time together.
COST: $125.00 an hour
20% discount for members makes it just $105.00
I met with Jennifer via Skype the other day and it was awesome! The fact that I could get advice on my manuscript from a NY Times Best Selling author at such an affordable price was frankly, unbelievable. Jennifer is kind, genuine and uplifting. It is obvious that her goal is to help people, like myself, to fulfill their dream of publishing a book. She gave me so many great ideas and helped to make my vision more clear on the direction of my book. I’m amazed at how she was able to simultaneously listen AND make grammatical errors (on the computer screen!) to my work as I read it to her (thank you!!!) After only reading a few pages, Jennifer was intuitively able to grasp the concept of my unique idea and immediately hone in on what edits needed to be done. Her ability to LISTEN and make suggestions was extremely helpful. I truly appreciated her enthusiasm and encouragement..it meant so much to me. I can’t wait until me meet again! Sincerely, Melissa DeBiase
If anyone is looking for the best teacher, Jennifer is the one. Not only is she right on the spot with her teachings, craft and intuition, the price cannot be beaten.
A year ago I had sent $3500 (yes thirty five hundred) to Rebecca Walker to read my manuscript. She wouldn’t touch it without the money. It took her at least 4 months for any kind of communication and that came from her assistant. All sorts of promises were made about working together on Skype.That never materialized.
Not very much came from her short assessment of my manuscript. When i asked for a partial refund because I was not satisfied with the work she obviously had NOT put into it, she told me there were no refunds.
So my 3500 went right out the window.
Make sure you can trust whomever you choose, but for my money and the incredible amount of knowledge I’ve gotten, Jennifer offers exactly what any memoir writer needs.
I used Walker too. I didn’t pay nearly that much but it might have been earlier in her editing career or maybe I sent less pages? Who knows. She did give some valuable feedback, but it was way overpriced for what I got. No victim here. It was an expensive lesson which forced me to examine exactly why I chose that particular editor.
Jennifer is definitely the real deal. I doubt many writing teachers give as much as she does. I’ve been to at least three of her workshops and they have been worth WAY more than she charges.
