Work With Chloe

Work with Chloe as your private writing coach. She will encourage your creativity and enthusiasm for writing while helping you to build a regular practice, reveal the story you want to tell, strengthen your own voice and style and revise pieces to completion. She can help you with line edits, larger developmental edits, ordering and submissions.  

She works with poets, memoirists and essayists. For fiction projects, she recommends Shasta Grant. 

  • Beginner

    Chloe can help you to structure and deepen your practice from notes or a journal to revised poems or essays. In response to your drafts, she’ll offer you written feedback that helps you to both strengthen your voice and style and complete work that you might consider submitting for publication. She will also offer you prompts and reading lists (creative and craft books) to help you to develop your individualized course of study.

    Some Experience / Published

    If you’ve been writing for a while, Chloe will read your drafts and offer feedback on both the micro and macro level. She will consider the structure or form of your pieces and how they fit together into a larger manuscript. Chloe will help you to organize your work, including ordering poems or essays, or material for a larger creative non-fiction project and for submissions. Part of this process will include implementing a schedule with deadlines.

    Rates

    The cost will depend on your goals and experience. Email Chloe with your goals and experience, up to 10 – 15 pages of poems or double-spaced creative non-fiction prose, and any questions you hope to address in coaching sessions. After reviewing your work, you’ll schedule a free 20-minute consultation over Zoom. During your consultation, you will develop a plan together to submit work to Chloe, receive written feedback and meet to discuss your work (or some combination of these options, depending on your experience and needs.)

    Chloe charges $200.00 an hour, which includes the time it takes to review your submissions (after the free consultation.) Usually, she can read 8-15 pages of prose or 5-8 pages of poems in about half an hour and then meet with you over zoom for one hour. Your submissions will be due a week before your meeting time. You’ll receive written feedback before your meeting so that you can review it first and arrive with questions.

    If you are working on a longer project, she’s happy to consider your project and offer you a per-project estimated cost.

    Your meeting times will be personalized. You might meet weekly, every other week, monthly or occasionally. In general, she is available between 9 – 4 pm EST, but can make some evening or weekend times available as necessary.

    If this is cost prohibitive for you, please ask her about her sliding scale.
