Writing Consultations

Would you like kind, supportive and personalized feedback on your writing?

Want help figuring out next steps for your writing project?

Would you benefit from individualized support and resources for editing, querying an agent and/or submitting your work to a small press for publication?

In the new year, published author and writing teacher Charlie J Stephens will be offering this literary service. *In person or via Zoom.

Writing Consult

This will include a close read of your short story or essay, feedback on strengths and possible areas for further development, and a discussion of next steps in the process.

Publishing Next Steps

You will be supported in deciding if your piece is ready to send out to literary magazines, agents or small presses. We will also go over suggested strategies for finding the best fit, writing a query letter, and how to navigate some of the various publishing resources out there.
