Mentor
Need expert help with your creative writing?
Mentorship was the thing I found most beneficial as an emerging author and, now that I’ve emerged, I can pass the benefits on to others. As a registered Writing Mentor with the Australian Society of Authors, I offer ms one-to-one tuition at very competitive rates…
$70 p/hour or $1300 for a 20 hour block
I can provide advice through all means of communication, most notably face-to-face meetings if the author is local. Having been a teacher in my former life, my credo is questions over commands, facilitation over prescription. At all times my brief is positive honesty.
SPECIAL OFFER – THE ‘TEN PAGE SAGE’!
For a limted time, I am also providing a one-off service called the ‘Ten Page Sage’. For a straight-up fee of $100, send me ten pages of your work – whatever draft stage, whatever genre, whatever previous feedback – and I’ll read it and provide a one page mentorship appraisal, featuring your writing strengths and improvement questions for your consideration.
For all mentorship enquiries, contact Darren at: choco_mcconaghy@yahoo.com

I need your mentorship AND I’m prepared to pay. Actually, I need very specific advice, which is, how the hell do you write a letter to a prospective agent? My first efforts are boring, long and badly written. Do I write a sort of ‘blurb’ as a taster? Do I enclose a whole chapter? Do I enclose excerpts? And PS, do you accept cheques by snail mail? By the way, I’ll be in Vancouver next June or July. Fancy a beer? In fact, where the hell are you?
Yours
