Barbara Shine leads workshops for beginning and more experienced writers, presents talks on creativity and writing from memory, works as a coach with individual writers, and provides book editing and consultant services in publication design and layout for authors and other clients.
- Writing and editing workshops can benefit individuals and
businesses. Different types of workshops are summarized on the "Workshops for Writers" page.
- Manuscript editing and proofreading services help
individual authors ensure that their work is free of spelling, grammar, and usage errors before manuscripts are submitted and as their books move through the publishing process.
- One-on-one coaching is an aid to the writer who prefers
individual attention to the workshop experience. Working through e-mail as well as face-to-face meetings, Ms. Shine will provide assignments tailored to the client's skill level and goals, detailed critique of the work, continual encouragement, referral to other resources as needed.
- Book consultation allows a writer to obtain objective
guidance on how to proceed with a book project: Is it publisher-ready? Should the writer send out a book proposal? get an agent? self-publish? Would the book benefit from added art?
- Publication design and layout are services Ms. Shine provides
for smaller projects, such as brochures, booklets, newsletters, and chapbooks.
Ms. Shine is also available as a speaker, for groups of any size, on the subjects of "Evoking the Muse" and "Writing Our Lives." Just e-mail her to discuss available dates.
For all services, fees vary with the level of effort and time required. Ms. Shine will negotiate a per hour or per project fee to the best interest of each client. Send an e-mail to info@bshinewrites.com to talk about whatever services you require.
