Getting Started: From The Blank Page To A Finished Manuscript
To fit all budgets and writing goals, I offer a variety of choices for personalized hourly programs, as well as longer-term monthly Manuscript Mentoring.
Our phone sessions can always be recorded, so you can review them as often as you like!
The First Step For Every New Student Is The One-Hour Introductory Session – $99.00
This is the first step for all of my new students. Whether you've never written before or you're a more experienced writer, this one-hour session is a great way for you to experience my coaching. It is also a way for me to get a sense of who you are as a writer. I'll read up to ten pages of your writing, and then we'll talk about where you're at and how we'll get to where you want to go.
If you decide to continue working with me, I'll credit this amount towards our future work together!

- Price: $99.00
"My weekly conversations with Emily by telephone are as good as "in persons" because of her acute ability to listen. She removes walls, helps me step over debris, and at times, picks up one of her medieval swords to help slay my Inner Critic dragon. I always come away excited, with new direction and confidence in my ability to do what I need to do with my writing."
-Sheila Schoen
Continuing Our Work Together: Three-Hour, Five-Hour, And Ten-Hour Personalized Programs
The goal of these personalized programs is to develop your characters and plot, and explore the potential arcs of your story-line. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses as a fiction writer is primary to completing a manuscript.
The goal of these personalized programs is to develop your characters and plot, and explore the potential arcs of your story-line. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses as a fiction writer is primary to completing a manuscript.
To this end, we'll focus on what it means to write a novel, and why the process of writing a first draft is quite different from rewriting or editing a finished manuscript. We'll also create a writing schedule that suits your life and set up specific goals for the next three, five, or ten weeks.
By the end of your sessions, you'll have a clear understanding of what's working in your fiction writing, what isn't, and why. You'll also be well prepared to move ahead with your manuscript, either on your own or together with me with additional hourly sessions or an In-Depth Mentoring Program.
Each of these Personalized Programs includes my reading up to fifty-pages:

"Emily has a unique gift of being able to listen for story, even over the telephone, and she has helped me develop characters and scenes that are rich with feeling and emotion. Working with her over the phone for the last three years has been the best thing I have done to improve my writing. We also laugh a lot!"
-Susan Omilian
In-Depth Mentoring Programs
For students who want more one-on-one coaching throughout the week, the Mentoring Programs encompass everything from the Five and Ten-Hour sessions, and schedule us to talk twice a week, more if you need! If I don't hear from you, I'll email or call you to make sure you're not blocked in your writing or going down a wrong path.

We're not limited by time constraints when we talk. Your sessions go on for as long as needed, and vary from week to week! Together, we'll set appropriate goals that change as your manuscript grows and moves towards completion.
All of our work is geared towards two objectives: Your understanding and using fiction writing techniques in a more sophisticated manner, and unleashing the creative passion that will allow you to become a dedicated novelist who writes week after week.

"Working with Emily in the Mentoring Program has realigned my sense of self and purpose. Our weekly sessions are chiropractic for the creative soul, replenishing my identity as a writer, and our more casual online chats throughout the week help keep me focused on and committed to the writing life."
