Speaking Engagements
I’m a widely known speaker at writing and genre events ranging from the Bay Area Writers’ League to the World Fantasy and World Science Fiction conventions, and the Odyssey Speculative Fiction Workshop, not to mention regional gatherings like Boskone, Readercon, the New Hampshire Youth Writing Conference, and the New Hampshire Writer’s Project 603 Conference. Topics include: “Ten Mistakes I’ve Made in my Writing Career so That You Don’t Have to,” “Breathless: Pacing the Novel,” and “So You want to Write Novel” (multi-part workshop, for teens or adults) One hour workshops begin at $150, plus travel if needed. Please let me know what your event is looking for, and I can get you a quote.
Editorial Services
Need some one-on-one attention? I’m a trained and experienced critiquer and developmental editor who will study your manuscript and work to help it reach its greatest potential with feedback on the elements of fiction and how they’re working (and could be working better). Editorial packages include an edit letter of 7-10 pages, chapter or section remarks, and marginal notes. Editorial services begin at $2000 for a manuscript of about 100K words.
