Work with Brenda

Here are the current options available to work with me.

Also consider purchasing my online course Blueprint Your Memoir | From Premise to Promise. Through the purchase of the course you will have access to Q&A sessions where you can ask me questions related to your memoir. It is an easy and accessible entry point to start to work with me.

PRICES ARE IN USD

Receive a 1-hour consultation with Brenda for a specific question or issue you have with regard to your memoir.

This option does not include a review of your manuscript.

B - REVIEW OF YOUR FIRST 50 PAGES $295

What you are getting right and what you are not can be identified within the first forty to fifty pages.

Get a review of your first 50 pages from Brenda so that you don't perpetuate the same errors through the rest of your memoir.

My feedback is given in a 1-hour recorded video call where you also have the opportunity to ask questions.

C - 1:1 COACHING $450 per month (min. 3 months)

I guide you through the creative process of writing your memoir as we define your message, outline your story, and design your story structure.

E - DEVELOPMENTAL EDIT $3,000 (max 80k words)

Receive a detailed and in-depth assessment of your manuscript which covers the same topics as a manuscript evaluation but with a strong focus on the structure and development of the story.

In order to complete my assessment, I will request that you provide additional information with regard to your intended audience and the promise of your memoir. This provides the relevant context for the developmental edit.
