MENTORING  for  WRITERS

If you are a WRITER who needs help with a specific project, Barbara Florio Graham can provide tips about how to organize your material, how to break through "writer's block," and point you to resources for research, editing, and marketing.

Mentoring does NOT include editing, review of more than 1000 words per week, or specific markets.

Among the 42 writers I have mentored since 1995,  one wanted to make the transition from writing articles to writing books, one needed to know if her poetry was ready for publication, one was trying to organize many years of research in preparation for writing a biography, several others had many ideas for articles but wanted advice on how to focus on one subject at a time and slant their work for specific markets.

This is a short-term commitment to help you get something specific off the ground, whether you're a beginner just starting out or an experienced freelancer who wants to move in a different direction.

Cost ranges from $150. - $300 per month  (which can be extended by mutual agreement)  payable in advance. To check availability, CONTACT BOBBI

Two of my colleagues in the U.S. charge far more for this type of mentoring. Peter Bowerman's fee is $125 an hour, while John Kremer charges $3000 a month for access to his expertise via phone and e-mail.

Barbara Florio Graham played a key role in helping me get established an an author ten years
and 29 books ago. And she went from being a mentor to a friend a long time ago.

Thank you again for a great and extremely informative three weeks. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor.    (Brenda Hubbard,  August,  2005)  

I selected Barbara Graham to edit and organize my manuscript, and it was one of the best decisions I
 ever made. She provided me with written feedback and suggestions, including advice on how to improve
my visual images by using better or different word selections. She also helped me write a very professional synopsis, pitch, and a treatment along with a  book proposal. It was something I could not have put together without her assistance. Barbara's consulting and writing  expertise and professional feedback has given
me knowledge that will assist me in any future projects. I would encourage anyone who needs literary advice to seek the professional help of Barbara Graham.

As a direct result of taking the Time Management Course I now use my limited time more effectively
in all aspects of my life.       (Hope Spencer, Comox, B.C.)

Barbara runs a fine writing workshop that helped me become more creative when I write. Her book, 
"Five Fast Steps to Better Writing" sits close at hand whenever I need a refresher.
