            | Rates The first question nearly every author asks is, How much will it cost? Author Coach offers two rate plans: Hourly: $125.00 per hour. This is the going rate for book doctors who simply edit your book. Author Coach goes beyond editing. We coach you, advise you, and provide guidance on how you can achieve your publishing goals. So for your money, you get much more than you would with a standard "book doctor." There is a five-hour minimum commitment, which for most books will be sufficient time for your author coach to read your manuscript, take notes, and have a telephone conversation with you about it. Of course, if you are writing like Melville or Dickens and your book is a tome, it may take longer. We'll be happy to discuss with you our opinion of how much work may be involved, keeping in mind that none of this is an exact science. Monthly: $2,500.00 per month. If you prefer frequent conversations, check-ins, or to not have to worry about how long it will take your author coach to read your work and give you notes, then perhaps monthly is the plan for you. An author on a monthly plan can expect that their author coach will be reading their work and speaking with them fairly regularly, keeping in mind that most editors will need between two and four weeks to read and be ready to discuss a full manuscript. You and your author coach can schedule regular times to speak (weekly, perhaps, to check in on how the writing is going) and set mutually agreeable deadlines for when material will be read and discussed. Basic introduction to writing classes are often $400.00 or more, plus registration fees, books, etc. And for many authors, this may be the best choice. But you know how to write, don't you? You have already written a manuscript or proposal, or you probably wouldn't be on this site. So, the question is, do you want a generic writing course that's going to teach you what you already know, or do you want to take the next step and invest in getting personalized coaching and editorial feedback on how you can achieve your publishing goals? If you answered yes, then the time is now to click here and contact Author Coach.
