Use my Writing Guide to draft your poem. I’ll help you polish what you’ve written. We’ll apply the five-step process for poem-making that my Writing Guide describes. ($35/half hour)
You choose the level of your participation and my service. At every level, you have the option to publish the poem on this website for free, as a public or private post.
Other Services
On Your Own:
You write the poem yourself, using my free seven-page Writing Guide. (no charge)
Commission:
I draft the poem, drawing on our conversation and your (or your group’s) written reflections. Given your revisions, I write a second draft for your review. Given your second round of revisions, I incorporate your changes into the poem’s final form. ($795)
Four-by-Four:
You enlist three others and enroll in a series of four one-hour online classes. Using my free Writing Guide as a foundation, I coach each person in writing and revising their poem in a setting of mutual support. ($100/person)
Optional Extras (at additional charge)
You can also choose to receive —
- an audio recording of the poem as I voice it
- a digital image of the poem, on a background and with a photo you select, to upload to your phone
- assistance arranging for printing and framing the poem
For details about the process we’ll use, see What You and I Do and Frequently Asked Questions.
