Demetria Buie provides a FREE initial 15-minute phone consultation. She usually suggests that new clients (especially those already working on a project) hire her to critique their writing & help them move in the right direction. The charge for this service starts at $500 payable in advance. Demetria Buie reads through the whole manuscript (or however many pages have already been written), and provides a detailed memo about what she thinks works, what doesn’t, and what’s needed. If you agree with her analysis and want to proceed, Demetria Buie can either function as a writing coach or an Mentor.
Writing Coach You can choose among four writing coach packages. Non-refundable monthly fees are due in advance at the beginning of each month. Most clients prefer the convenience of PayPal or Walmart, in which you authorize automatic billing each month (Demetria can do reminders).
