You've got questions. We've got answers.

It's hard to believe but we're coming up on summer fast. For many of us, that means higher temperatures, longer days, and more time to ourselves. For us writers, more time to ourselves means more time to write. Which is just fine by us. We at WriteByNight are primed for a summer of helping you to write more, write better, and accomplish your goals. For those of you considering working with us either for the summer or beyond, we've prepared some solid answers to your frequently asked questions. Stuff like: Am I right for WriteByNight? If you put words to paper or want to, then yes. We work with writers of all experience levels, working in a variety of genres--fiction, nonfiction, young adult, children's literature, screenwriting, poetry, memoir, journalism, and more. No prior experience or training is required. Isn't that cool? You don't even have to have pages written yet. If you want to learn how to become a writer or how to write a great book or anything in between, you are right for WriteByNight. When should I start working with you? Because we offer a wide range of services designed to address a variety of needs, we're able to jump into work at any point in your writing process: before you've written a word, partway into a project, once a full draft is under your belt, or with a completed manuscript ready to go out into the world. What we're trying to say is, we're ready when you are. What is a free consultation and why do I need one? Your free consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know each other before agreeing to work together. During your free consult, we'll discuss your writerly interests and goals, address any problems you've encountered along the way, answer any questions you may have about craft and/or the business of writing, and determine how WriteByNight might be of service to you. It's pretty important that we understand your needs before we hatch a plan to meet them, don't you think? What if I have little/no experience as a writer? We love beginners. After all, what is a professional but a former beginner? WriteByNight is more than happy to help train you in becoming a writer; our private writing instruction will get you started on the path to literary stardom. What if I don't live near my WriteByNight consultant? No worries. WriteByNight serves clients nationwide and worldwide via phone and Internet. In fact, most of our services are delivered remotely. What if I try a service and don't like it? You're in luck because we've designed our services to be as risk-free for you as possible. Your comfort and satisfaction are super important to us. We don't ask you to sign a contract or commit to minimums, and we don't have any hidden fees--ever. This means that you'll always know what to expect and what is expected of you. No surprises. Our work together is in your control 100% of the time, so if you're not happy for whatever reason, you can walk away free and clear. I'm worried I can't afford your services. Totally understandable. We know that budgeting is top of mind for most people, and for writers especially. For that reason, we've gone to great lengths to make our services as affordable as possible. Our hourly rates are standard for the industry: $35 for critique, $40 for proof, $50 for copyedit, $60 for copywrite, $50 for regular meetings, $99 for one-time meetings. With coaching, the frequency of your meetings is up to you, so if $85/month is in your budget--that's only $21.25/week to leap forward in your literary goals, by the way--you're in. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've posted nearly 30 frequently asked questions and answers on our website. Check out the FAQ now When you're done, if you still have questions, simply reply to this email. I'm available and happy to help. Hooray for (almost) summer, Justine
