~ Lynne Barfield Byrd, author of The Sweetness and the Pits

Holiday Writer's Coaching Specials

A great gift to give...or to give yourself!

$29 for 1 Special!     $49 for 2 Specials!     $59 for 3 Specials!

Up to 75% savings on a review of up to 2000 words of writing in advance of a 1/2-hour coaching session by Zoom/phone.

You and/or your gift recipient emails up to 2000 words of one writing project for review.  This is followed by an appointment for one-half hour of writer’s coaching via Zoom or phone.

Novice and experienced writers receive guidance and motivation on their writing for a novel, memoir, short story, or children's book.  The content review focuses on plot, character, setting, point of view, etc., not on the specifics of editing.  Please note, submissions are narrative only; no synopsis or contents.  For this special offer, poetry, professional, and academic projects are not included.

Coaching Specials are offered to new, returning, and existing clients of 21 years of age and up.  Buy up to three coaching specials, but only one redeemable per person and per project.  Once purchased in any quantity, fees are nonrefundable.

Printable gift certificates provided.  Appointment times available on Mondays-Fridays, 10am-7pm ET or Saturdays, 11am-2pm ET.

Small Business Saturday Writer's Coaching Specials must be redeemed between January 8 - February 28, 2025.

"Signing up for Wayne’s Coaching Special gave me the deadline to work on an incomplete short story.  Then, his professionalism, humor, and kind critique encouraged my path for revision.  After a little more coaching, I've submitted my story to a pair of contests.  Thanks to Wayne, I can now call myself a writer!"
