1. We talk on the phone or Zoom for about an hour. Please leave a ninety-minute window from the starting time, as I occasionally assign a short writing exercise to be done right after the call. Your confidentiality is paramount.

2. If you want to fill me in on what’s going on with you before your session, write me a letter letting me know what your struggles, concerns, habits, pitfalls, fears, delights, and goals are with your project.

If there is some other block in your life, seemingly unrelated to writing, you may choose to include that information. I recommend limiting your time to 30 minutes to write the letter.

3. I read up to 20 double-spaced pages (12 point font) of your work (plus your letter, if you choose to write one) for the call if received 24 hours in advance. I do not line-edit, proofread, or reply with written comments.
