I offer various coaching packages. Whether you want to tell the story of your life to leave as a legacy for your family, write a novel, learn to write short stories, or you are an executive who wants to write a business book, I can help. Each package can last three, six, nine or twelve months. Price depends on length and complexity of the project. Please contact me for a free initial consultation: carolineallen@aol.com
memoir
For people who want to write about their life, I offer intensive support, including vast experience as an interviewer to get to the core of your life story. I will interview you, provide an outline, develop a structure, give weekly feedback, and help you revise the finished product.
new writers
For relatively new writers who have always wanted to write, but didn't know where to begin. I will help you come up with a writing idea, develop a structure, and provide ongoing support throughout the writing process. The client can expect at the end of the project to have a finished short story, personal essay, or a book-length manuscript.
novels
I assist writers in putting together their first novel. We begin the often daunting process by focusing on one chapter at a time, exploring setting, characterization, dialogue, theme and plot. I provide intensive ongoing support to get you over the hurdles. A fabulous process that has had wonderful results for the writers I've worked with.
single article or essay
For individuals who would like to learn how to write an article on their business, or for students looking for guidance on a personal essay to use for graduate school applications, I use finely honed interview questions to get to the essence of the work, provide an outline you can work from, give written feedback via email, and edit the final piece.
business
For businesspeople who want to shape the story of what they do, to publish an article on their company, or for executives who want to write a book, I will interview you, provide an outline, develop a structure, give weekly feedback, and help you edit the finished product.
