Manuscript consulting
and writing coaching
MANUSCRIPT CONSULTING
Carolyn offers manuscript consulting services in all genres of creative writing, including fiction, poetry, hybrid and experimental work, and creative nonfiction. A writer's work may be of any length, from short pieces or excerpts, to full manuscripts in progress.
Consulting is developmental in nature; feedback is focused on big-picture moving parts of a project, such as arc, plot, themes, voice, character, setting, mood, formal elements, revision suggestions, areas of strength and clarity, and areas of potential sharpening and growth, as appropriate to the genre and the writer's stated visions.
This includes two readings of the work, line-level feedback and observations, and an in-depth feedback letter with suggestions for revision and moving forward. Helping the work be the best version of itself it can be is the goal of this process.
WRITING COACHING
Coaching services involve longer-term work together. This may include periodic meetings via Zoom, goal-setting and accountability, check-ins about progress, brainstorming ideas for the work's development and the writer's visions for it, feedback on excerpts, coaching on craft techniques, playing with generation and revision methods, honing one's voice, and personalized guidance on growing one's sense of oneself as a writer.
