Rates

and how it works

To start with, I offer a free initial consultation. Whether via email or video, we can discuss your needs and come up with a plan.

Book a session.

If you decide to proceed with writing classes, my rates are AUD 100 per hour for ad hoc sessions.

This is a good deal compared what else you could spend money on. See below.

Except for lawyer, most of these involve do not involve nearly as much reading time as writing teacher. Doing the preparatory reading is necessary for being able to do the teaching.

You would normally book two hours. The first of those will be reading and preparation time, the second will be video contact. If you prefer to skip the video part, and receive all feedback in writing, that’s fine.

If you have a problem with these rates or this proposed way of working, suggest something else. We’ll discuss it.

Discounted rates may be available for an extended series of classes. You can discuss this with me too.

Payments are to be made in advance, via PayPal, or via similar system by agreement. No refunds.
