Meet and Greet Sessions
About:
Are you unsure which of Gail’s services would work best for you? Want to chat with Gail before committing to one? Or just have a couple of quick questions to ask? Either way, with a meet and greet session, you'll get a sampling of Gail’s approach to mentoring and editing.
How it works:
Click on the green button to the right to purchase. We'll email you right back to schedule your meet and greet session.
At your scheduled time, you’ll meet with Gail on Zoom for twenty minutes.
If you’d like, you can submit up to 1,000 words of your project at least two days before your scheduled meet and greet, to allow Gail time to read your submission. Gail will not accept outlines for this service as they take more time and thought to critique. If you’d like feedback on your outline from Gail, please book a blue pencil session.
When:
Click the button below to book a meet and greet session any time. As soon as we’ve received your order, we’ll schedule your session within the week, or at the time that suits you best.
Cost:
One meet and greet session is $40 plus GST/HST (of your province).
