I know it’s kind of long, but please do not try to get in touch with me before reading the following (it will be obvious to me if you haven’t read it…just sayin’):
Email: Best way to get in touch with me is via email (below). I will respond to you as soon as I can, generally within 1-2 business days.
Phone: Please, please, please don’t call me — phone time is reserved for consulting and coaching clients and is scheduled in advance. In most cases, I will not return calls about my prices, my credentials, my process or my services. I will address these issues via email if you’d like to start a dialogue. And, if you do not feel comfortable doing business via email and other virtual means of communication, I am likely not the best fit for you as a writer or consultant.
In-Person: Also, because of the nature of my workload and my days and my life in general, I am not available to speak or meet with you casually to brainstorm or discuss your ideas. If you want to meet face-to-face, let me know so we can schedule an in-person consulting session. These meetings will be billed at an hourly rate (including travel, if applicable) that is discussed and invoiced beforehand.
Info Please: After all that, if you want to hire me, work with me, find a way to be a fit with me or connect with me, fill out the form below. Please be as detailed as possible as to your needs, project(s), challenges and goals. I get a lot of emails, so if you just say ‘call me” or “I have a project,” chances are I won’t be able to help you much in an email. (If you are a literary agent or a magazine editor, just let me know and your wish is my command.)
My Promise: By the way, if we do work together, you will get, from me, the very highest level of professionalism, skill (in writing, in my case), personal attention and plain-old human kindness. Sometimes I am funny, too, and all the time I go above and beyond until the very last drop. Guaranteed.
This is the part where you give me the information:
