Commercial Writing Mentoring
When you write a book like TWFW, it's inevitable that you get a bunch of requests for mentoring, as readers launch their writing businesses or take an existing one to a new level (or in a different direction). While I used to have the time to answer all the questions emailed to me, time-wise, it quickly became unfeasible. With that in mind, in May 2002, I launched a one-on-one, fee-based mentoring program, which can be purchased in one-hour increments.

Since starting in the business in late 1993, I've absorbed an enormous amount of information about commercial freelancing. While much of that has ended up in my two books on the subject and finds its way into my popular ezine, my ongoing work in the field and contacts with literally of thousands of people along the way add up to a whole universe of knowledge about commercial freelancing – across a broad spectrum of circumstances and situations.

Rest assured, unlike many authors who make their money from telling others about a particular field (through sales of books and related businesses), while not actually being involved in the field anymore, I continue to be an active commercial freelancing practitioner. If I’m going to offer guidance to those starting businesses, I can’t be providing second-hand advice. As for my rates, I know what my industry peers charge for their services, and my rates are extraordinarily reasonable for the value delivered (see Testimonials). But, don’t believe me. Do your own research and find out.
