Can you give me more details on the Writing Workshops and Individual Mentoring?
If you wish to work on your writing individually simply send an email to lauraoliver2@yahoo.com.
What are your fees?
I offer a free 15-20 minute phone call to discuss your needs and how I might help.
For an estimate on completed drafts, simply email a brief description of your project, your word count, up to 15 double-spaced sample pages, the kind of help you are looking for and I'll email you an estimate.
Can you describe some of the individual writing projects you have mentored?
I have successfully mentored writers working on memoirs, sci-fi novels, textbooks, fiction collections, essay collections and novels. Eight of my recent writing clients have sold their books to traditional publishers such as Simon and Schuster, Rowman and Littlefield, Dover Press, Apprentice House and others.
Can you describe the individual mentoring process?
Prior to our scheduled meeting, you will email me the work you want to be reviewed. I will make detailed editing suggestions on the manuscript, write up an evaluation of issues for you to consider and we will go over all of it together at our next meeting. If getting together in person is inconvenient due to distance or time constraints, we will meet on Zoom or on the phone and I will email your manuscript and summary review.
Where can I buy a copy of "The Story Within, New Insights and Inspiration for Writers?"
"The Story Within, New Insights and Inspiration for Writers" (Penguin Random House) after 8 printings, is still available online and at Amazon. It may be downloaded as an e-book as well.
