Mentoring
Mentoring
Writing doesn’t have to be a solitary process. Sometimes we need input from a trusted source to help us produce a poem or essay that matches our vision and truly represents what we wish to say.
I offer manuscript consultations for beginning and advanced writers with an emphasis on poetry, although I have experience working across genres in personal essay, memoir, short fiction, young adult & children’s literature, and screenwriting.
Collaboration
Our collaboration begins with a free phone consultation to discuss your project, your goals for your writing, and what kind of support you need right now. I have helped clients develop:
-
Individual poems, stories, articles, and blog posts
-
Contest and literary magazine submissions
-
Chapbooks
-
Personal essays
-
MFA applications
-
Book-length manuscripts and screenplays
Services:
In our work together, I will provide:
-
Customized recommendations to help you move past “process" issues like writer’s block, procrastination, perfectionism, and writing anxiety
-
An in-depth editorial review of your work, including line edits and a summary letter outlining your manuscript’s strengths and strategies for revision
-
Craft suggestions to sharpen the focus and impact of your writing
-
Personalized activities to advance your writing and help you complete your projects
-
Guidance on publication
-
If you wish, suggestions on flower essences to support self-expression and the creative process
I charge an hourly rate, per page, for manuscript reviews plus a fee for our phone or Zoom consultation. Please feel free to reach out through my Connect page or email me directly at jennifer@jelmore.com for more information.
