In this one-on-one, private, four-month online mentorship, Gail will guide you as you write your fiction project. Monthly submission deadlines keep you producing. Gail’s direction keeps you on track.
There are no assignments or writing prompts. Gail focuses solely on your project and your specific writing needs. Great for both emerging writers and pros with a new project on the go.
You have the option of booking more sessions to complete your project.
For a taste of Gail's approach, please see this interview with Gail in The Puritan.
Four-month sessions start in January, May and September, but if you'd like to start at a different time, contact Gail's office and we'll do our best to fit you into Gail's schedule.
