THE THESIS (application only)

Feel free to inquire about THE THESIS (application-only), an advanced option for students who have longer projects in hand and who want personalized advice and edits.

• Experience: This eight-week (renewable) program is open to students who have completed THE WORKSHOP or who have worked with me in some other capacity before (e.g., student at Iowa Summer Program or at a university).

• Meets semiweekly (every two weeks) for one hour, at a time we mutually agree on.

• The Cohort: Just you and me and the work.

• Workshops: I’ll review up to 7,000 words of writing between each appointment.

• In-depth edits: I’ll do a close (really, really close) line edit on the first 30 pages of your book-length manuscript or your opening short story. I’ll also offer you three rounds of edits on your query letter (which you can send me after the eight weeks are up) and provide tailored advice about when and how to get an agent. 

• Pricing: $1,200 per eight-week block.
