* Critiques and content edits of fiction and narrative nonfiction, including memoir. 

* Short-term or long-range guided writing to banish writer's block. 

* Guidance to achieve focus and follow through on writing projects and goals. 

* Suggestions on organizing and shaping a project.

PRICE per PAGE: The current skill level of each writer determines the amount of time spend on an evaluation, edit or critique of each page, and therefore the rate per page.
