Dear Readers,


Here is the list of my current script services and fees:

Edits:  $48.00  (proofread for scripts)

Critique :  $58.00 ( for scripts)

Query Letters :  $28.00 (scripts/books):

Synopsis :  $38.00 (script/books):

Edits for Books:  $90.00

Critiques for Books:  $125.00

Some people request edits and critiques together. If a writer wants both, to me this says the writer is not completely confident his or her script is ready. So I  recommend getting the critique first. Use the critique to redo the script. Once the script is just right, then request the edit.

However, there are script writers who insist on having both an edit and critique together.  So I offer an edit and critique combo at discount.

Edit &Critique Combo Discount: $76.00   This is a discount savings of $30.00

All payments are received by Paypal. If you cannot make Paypal payments you may mail payments in the form of cashier checks or money orders. NO personal checks

Join Advanced Novel Working Shop May 1, 2014


Hello readers.

This morning I have some info about a  writing work shop being offered by Writer's Digest. If you are able I advise you to enroll in it. These classes can really help.


The Advanced Novel Workshop has five (three-week long) sessions. Over the fifteen weeks
 of class you will submit 10,000 words (approximately 40 pages) for instructor review each
 session. For session one you will also submit a brief synopsis. Writing this synopsis will
 help you focus upon your ideal plot. You will have the opportunity to participate in the
 peer critique section of the class with others who choose to participate. Knowing how
  to provide a good critique to other writers will make you a better writer. Take advantage
 of this time to strengthen your skills. You can become a novelist when you are
 dedicated to your craft. Terri Valentine instructs the session that begins on
 May 1st. Join the class and reveal your novel.

"I enjoy working with writers in this class. Gives me a chance to really see

what kind of writer they are. This is the class where most of my

'successes' have come from--those who go on to publish. It is

a great class for getting the feedback on a manuscript that can

help shape it into a marketable product."

  ~ Terri Valentine
A former student said, "This was the most valuable online writing workshop
  I've ever done (and I have done several)." Another student said, "My writing
 has improved dramatically. The instructor, Terri Valentine, was fantastic." In
 this course, you’ll also learn specific tips for outlining and how not to write
 a novel. By the end of this workshop you will have the tools and know-how
 to write a great novel.

Develop Your Novel. Join the Advanced Novel Writing Workshop. There
 are limited seats available so sign up soon.
 
All upcoming courses can be viewed at this link.

Thank you for being part of the writing community.
