“In one hour on the phone with Marcela, I learned practical strategies about promotion, publicity, and the business side of the publishing industry that a doctorate in literature and several writing workshops never covered. Marcela is friendly, frank, and fun. She pulls no punches, and she followed up after our conversation with resources tailored to my particular project. Especially as a writer working far from New York, I was so helped by her knowledge and experience.”—Joy Castro, author of Hell or High Water
We schedule a date, I call you at the appointed time, and we discuss all your questions in 60 minutes. If we finish in less than an hour, we bank the remaining time for another day. We’ll schedule the phone call within 30 days of my receipt of the fee and signed agreement. Payment can be made via Venmo, check, or money order. Note: I do not review written material for phone consultations. If you desire feedback on your work, I recommend you opt for a manuscript edit, manuscript critique, or manuscript read.
Phone Consultation Fee: $99
