Assistance for Writers

You compiled your genealogy and got a terrific start writing your family’s history, a biography, or perhaps a memoir. It was going fine until your inner censor plunged you deep into writer’s block. You need help.

Here’s what The Scribes has to offer:

• Coaching provides one-on-one guidance where you need it, and a sounding board to help you work through your ideas and concerns. This is the most economical and direct route for most writers.

• Manuscript Review gives you an objective overview of the strengths and weaknesses of an early draft, and guidance for revisions.

• Editing at several stages will ensure a polished manuscript you can be proud of—forever. We offer substantive editing for second draft revisions, and line by line editing to polish a later draft.

• Publication Design is a crucial final step. Whether you’re creating a book or a website, you want it to stand out. And if retail sales are your goal, a classy cover is a must.

• Scribes’ Workshops, Classes & Talks give both seasoned writers, and those new to the creative writing craft, the tools, tricks, backup materials and exercises they need to write with clarity and vitality.

• Free Tips for Writers are on our Blog; in the downloads; and on our resources page.
