From the desk of  Andrea Rains Waggener, Author, Writing Coach

Dear Writer,

 

Are you where you want to be with your writing?  Do you have the writing skills you want to have?  Are you turning out the finished products you want to turn out?  Are you pleased with what you write?  Are you selling what you write?

 

Writing is lonely work, isn’t it?  It’s often tough to know whether you’re on the right track or not when you’re writing. 

 

If you’re working on a book, it’s tough to know if the book is coming together like you want it too.  If you’re working on a novel, it’s tough to stay on track and keep all the elements of your story straight.  If you’re working on articles or other short pieces, it’s tough to know if they have the focus and readability they need. 

 

Why is it so tough to evaluate your own writing?  Because you’re too close to it.

 

Most writers, especially new writers, tend to be one of either two types. 

 

Some writers have TONS of self confidence, too much self confidence.  They think everything they write is wonderful, and then they can’t understand it when their work gets rejected month after month, or worse, year after year. 

 

Some writers have TOO LITTLE confidence.  These writers think everything they write is awful.  They doubt that they’ll ever write well enough to sell.  They take every rejection letter personally.  The letters are evidence, they believe, that their writing simply isn’t any good and never will be.

 

If you land in either of these two writer types, you’re going to struggle with your writing.  Either you won’t write at all because you’re so unsure of yourself or because you so hate receiving rejection.  Or you’ll keep writing but you’ll have trouble selling your work.  You may even eventually start hating the writing process.  Or worse, you could get so bitter that you can’t even stand to think about writing.

 

Before this dire writing fate comes your way, STOP!  Ask yourself whether maybe it’s time to invest a little money into getting some feedback and encouragement to keep you on a writing path that will eventually lead to success.

 

Face it, no matter what you’re doing, it’s always easier to do it if you have some guidance and inspiration. This is especially true with writing, don’t you agree?  It would be easier to keep writing if you had someone giving you feedback and encouragement, wouldn’t it? 

 

Right now, when you finish a piece of writing, what do you do with it?  If you’re like most writers, you do one of four things.

 

  Maybe you take your writing to a writer’s group where several people listen to you read it and give you feedback.  Does this feedback really help you?

 

Probably not.   

 

The truth is that most writing groups are made up of writers who have yet to break into the writing big time.  Writers who sell their books to large publishers generally don’t spend their time in writing groups.  They spend their time writing.

 

So how good do you think this feedback you’re getting in a writer’s group really is?

 

Here’s a little story for you to get you thinking about the answer to that question.

 

Recently, a new writer I know who just finished her first novel manuscript, joined a writer’s group.  She attended a few times without bringing any of her own work to read.  She said that she wasn’t impressed with the quality of the group’s writing.  One man in particular seemed to have an inflated sense of his own talent.  She said he was writing a mystery novel and making it all up as he went along.  She said it was boring, and the characters were awful, but the other members of the group usually deferred to the man’s opinion.

 

Eventually, the new writer took in one chapter of her novel.  After she read it, the mystery writer said to her, “Throw it out.”

 

Now, there’s some helpful feedback, don’t you think?

 

Later, as the new writer was leaving that night’s meeting, another writer, a freelance article writer, took her aside and told her the chapter was quite good.  This writer offered to mentor the new writer, which was very nice of her.  There’s just one problem.  This freelance writer has never sold a novel.  How good will her mentoring be? 

 

Years ago, when I first started writing, I was in a writer’s group.  I received similarly useless feedback.  I was either told, “That’s great,” which didn’t help me at all.  WHY was it great?  What worked?  Or I was told, “That needs work.”  What kind of work?  What was wrong that needed fixing? 

 

General feedback from a group isn’t going to help you grow as a writer.  It’s simply too subjective and usually unprofessional.

 

  Maybe you have decided to go the opposite route from a writer’s group.  Maybe you don’t let anyone read your writing.  Perhaps you just finish your piece and send it off. 

 

To borrow a Dr. Phil line, “How is that working for you?”  Are you getting the results you want?  Probably not.

 

  Perhaps you’ve found some middle ground between these two.  Maybe you show your writing to a family member or friend. 

 

Although this may feel like a safe way to get feedback and encouragement, it’s not that safe.  Why?  Because whatever feedback you get will be colored by the person’s relationship with you.  It’s tough for a friend or family member to give objective feedback.  Also, most of your friends and family members aren’t professional writers who know what editors and agents are looking for.

 

  Maybe you have decided to invest in your writing and you’ve hired a professional freelance editor or critiquer.  This would seem to be the smartest of the four ways to get feedback and encouragement.  But does it really work?

 

Sometimes. 

 

There are some very good editors out there who will help you polish and you’re your writing skills.  Unfortunately, there are too many others who don’t have the teaching ability necessary to provide helpful AND gentle feedback.

 

 

Here’s another story for you.  Many years ago, I paid several hundred dollars to have a “professional” romance writer critique a romance manuscript.  The manuscript was about a petsitter who fell in love with one of her clients.  Dogs were featured prominently in the book.  One dog in particular, the client’s dog, was named Hebe.  He was named Hebe because when he was a puppy, he tore up his owners hebe buxifolia (a bush). 

 

When I got my eagerly-awaited critique back from this romance author, I was shocked to find a one-page scathing scolding for using the name Hebe.  The author, a Jewish woman, said that the name was anti-Semitic and downright offensive.  She said the word, hebe, was a derogatory word for Jewish people.  Well, I didn’t know that!  I’m not in any way anti-Semitic.  Of course, I was glad she’d pointed it out.  It would have been prudent for me to change the dog’s name.  But she went on and on and on about it.

 

The next thing she said in her critique was that she wasn’t a dog person.  She preferred cats.  Okay.  What did that have to do with anything?

 

She eventually got to some actual critiquing, and she tore my manuscript apart. 

 

The problem was I didn’t know if her criticisms had validity or if they were the result of her obvious animosity toward me because she’d decided I hated Jewish people and I liked the wrong kind of pet.

 

I wasn’t able to use any of her feedback.  I eventually submitted the manuscript (after changing the dog’s name), and I got a very nice rejection letter from an editor at Silhouette who told me my writing was very smooth and my characters were wonderful.  She didn’t like the petsitting plot, but she told me to submit more manuscripts.

 

If you pay for a critique, you need to get that critique from someone who is BOTH a published author AND a good teacher and coach. 

 

 

You need a Writing Help Partnership!

 

What is a writing help partnership?  It’s a winning partnership that has all the elements necessary to create great writing talent.

 

It’s the partnering of writing skill with teaching skill.

It’s the partnering of critiques with encouragement.

It’s the partnering of guidance with inspiration.

 

The Writing Help Partnership Program is a partnership of the feedback, encouragement, guidance, and inspiration you need to enjoy the writing success you want.

 

Why am I the right person to provide you with this winning partnership?

 

I am both a published author AND a good teacher and coach.  I am the author of three published books:

 Alternate Beauty (Bantam 2005) 

     Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise-Fifty-two Life-changing Lessons for the Twenty-first Century (Hazelden 2005) 

     Dog Parenting-How to Have an Outrageously Happy and Well-adjusted Canine (Adams Media Corp., 2006)

 

I am a former newspaper columnist.  I wrote, “The Up Beat” for The Daily World for over six years.

 

I am the author and publisher of a two e-zines, “Living On The Up Beat,” and “The Dog Parent & Canine Kid News.”  I have written dozens of articles and essays.  I’ve also sold poetry and greeting card copy.  I’ve been a professional legal writer as well; I have written judicial opinions for the Washington State Appellate Court.  I’m also a copy writer and a website content writer.

 

Because of my writing success, I have been a guest on numerous radio shows.  I’ve also appeared on Fox News Network’s, Fox & Friends and the Pacific Northwest TV shows, Northwest Afternoon and Being In Seattle.  In addition, my books have received coverage in newspapers like The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and in national magazines like Fitness and Shape. 

 

Not only am I a successful author, I’m also a teacher.  Before I became a writer, I was an attorney, and I taught legal writing at the University of Puget Sound Law School.  My teaching was done primarily one-on-one.  I provided my students with lessons on structure and grammar, and then I worked with them privately, providing them with gentle but honest feedback to help them improve.  I also have taught writing workshops and online writing courses.  To read more about my background and work, click here.

 

Not only have I been published by large publishers, and not only do I have teaching experience, I also know what rejection feels like.  I give feedback that tells you what you need to know to improve AND keeps you motivated and excited to keep writing.  I know how to coach writing in a way that doesn’t mislead but also doesn’t beat down fragile egos. 

 

Here’s what people have to say about my ability to teach and guide: 

 

 

“Ande is an amazingly patient instructor and insightful writing guide. Her unique combination of straightforward, constructive criticism and continuous encouragement and endless moral support has kept me going week after week.  In fact, I often reread her emails for inspiration!” 

 

--Sandra Shih,
Writer 

New York, New York

 

“Andrea recently critiqued one of my articles and her feedback was very useful to me. It validated the quality of my writing for me, which was very affirming, and it gave me some focus as to which elements in my work are serving me best. I found her input to be very honest and objective.”

 

--Kathy Klee,
Freelance Writer

Ocean Shores, Washington

 

“Andrea Rains Waggener is one of the most inspirational teachers I have known.  I've always been an optimistic person, but her columns and books have made me look much more closely at what I do and why I do it, and how I could do it better.  Her guidance has sent me home ready to tackle jobs I've put off, and writing I didn't think I could do.  I admire her tremendously.”

 

--Meg Chittenden,
Author

Lakewood, Washington

  

“Andrea is a master at conveying concepts that are easy to understand and use. And she does this in a way that is . . . dare I say it? . . . FUN!  She tells stories from her own experience that you, the student, can truly relate to. And suddenly, you discover that she's drawn you to a place of understanding something extraordinarily important and valuable. And given you sensible tools and practices.            

I encourage you to get all the guidance from Andrea Rains Waggener that you can get your eyes and/or hands on.”

 

--Sandra Lee,
Licensed Massage Practitioner

“Ande’s writing instruction has provided a real boost to my writing.  Before learning and applying her suggestions and recommendations, I wasn’t taking my writing seriously.  Now I not only write on a regular basis, I enjoy it!  And, with Ande’s help, I finished an e-book that’s selling well on the Internet.  I’m making money from my writing for the first time, thanks to Ande!”

 

--Nancy Eltrich,
Writer

Hoquiam, Washington

 

“As a published author of creative and non-fiction writing, Ms. Waggener is very well-equipped thru the life she's lived, by her varied professional experience, and by meeting head-on and conquering some of life's most challenging obstacles, to guide others along the writing path.   She is not only considered an expert in written communication by other professional writers, but she is also a primary source of inspiration and encouragement thru her monthly newsletter in which she provides to subscribers a practical and everyday useful way to live their lives in a positive and contributive manner that benefits everyone.”

 

--Richard B. Lindsey,
Professional Writer

San Francisco, California

 

”As an author myself, I know how difficult it is to produce a good book, whether it is educational or entertaining.  Andrea’s positive attitude and know-how makes her a helpful and uplifting teacher.  Whatever she teaches, be it writing or anything else, is worth learning.         

“Not only is Andrea a good teacher, she’s a fun teacher.  I enjoy Andrea’s guidance immensely. Her honesty in sharing her own personal challengers is refreshing in today's world. She has many talents. I have spoken with her in person, and I find her a warm and friendly individual.”

“I met Ande Waggener at the 2006 "Write on the Beach" Conference in Ocean Shores. She gave two scheduled seminars. The first one was an overview of basic writing skills. I remember her saying that journaling was an important part of developing writing skills, and I'm picturing the usual "Here's how my little day went" journaling and I'm actively shaking my head disagreeing with her. Then she went on to explain that in a journal a writer could capture deep emotional reactions at the time the feelings were felt, and that could be mined later for authenticity in a novel.  And a writer could describe interesting people, places or events they had seen, and that could be mined later.  At which point I'm nodding my head up-and-down, and now I journal, and I really believe this will make me a better writer because I'm very clear on the purpose of journaling and very clear on what's important to capture for future use.               

”Her first seminar held many "ah-hah" moments for everyone in attendance.  Word spread quickly through the participants of the conference, and Ande's second seminar a few hours later was standing room only.  I heard that one or more of the other seminars scheduled for the same time were cancelled due to lack of audience because everyone showed up at Ande's seminar. The second seminar provided an overview of her online novel course that she’s now turned into an e-book, Novel Writing Made Easy-How to Plan A Novel That Practically Writes Itself, and she provided such clarity and organization that for the first time I saw an answer to a question I'd been pondering for some months: How does a writer keep all the little facts and details of characters straight across many months of preparation and writing so that when someone like me reads the novel in four hours there are no inconsistencies?                

”So, I signed up for both of Ande's online course right there and then at the conference. I've been working through the course, and Ande's input and feedback have been just wonderful.  I see that Ande has overcome some obstacles to quality creative writing (like being trained as a lawyer) that give her incredible insight into coaching the rest of us with our own obstacles. For example, I write geotechnical reports where I carefully describe everything I saw to the gnat's little you-know-what, a type of writing where story questions that give the reader something to think about are strictly discouraged.  Ande is absolutely the right person to get me past this obstacle because she's already been there. And she will do a fantastic job coaching you past your obstacles!”

”If you want to be a writer, I strongly recommend getting Andrea's writing help.  Every aspiring writer needs the groundwork for learning their craft.  Andrea’s coaching will build your skills and give you needed writing practice to get you writing at a higher level.  I learned a lot from Andrea’s feedback, and I know you will, too.”

 

--Mary Pearson, Writer

Aberdeen, Washington

 

As your writing coach, I will guide you, with honest feedback, toward finding your best and truest writing voice.  I’ll tell you, point blank, what part of your writing works and what part doesn’t.  With my help, you’ll be able to hone and polish your writing skills to become the kind of excellent writer you want to be.

 

Why am I willing to take time away from my own writing projects to help you work toward a successful writing career?

 

I believe in sharing knowledge.  Why should we all have to go around reinventing the wheel (or the page, as the case may be)?

 

I’d have given anything to have this kind of guidance several years ago.  I wish I’d had a published author to work with when I was at the beginning of building my career.  Getting into the publishing world is tough, and we need to help each other make it in the writing world.  We need to help each other be great writers.  Then we can all succeed.  That’s what I want.  Besides, because I’ve developed my writing skills over the years, I write very quickly.  So I can still do all my work and have time to help you too.

 

Even though I didn’t have help like I’m offering you at the start of my writing career, I eventually took a couple of expensive courses (which cost me far more than even the coaching package prices I charge) taught by published authors and what I learned really took my writing to the next level!  If only I’d done it sooner…perhaps I would have sold my first book sooner.  It was a mistake to wait.

 

You don’t want to make the same mistake, do you?  Wouldn’t you rather get professional help now so you can start writing your way to the success you want?

 

So what can you expect if you use the

Writing Help Partnership Coaching Services?

 

When you join the Writing Help Partnership program, you can receive the writing help you need.  Do you need 

Feedback on your writing so you can evaluate your skill level?

Guidance on how you can improve your writing skills in general or improve a specific piece of writing?

Evaluation of your writing efforts along with suggestions on what type of writing is best for your writing aptitudes?

Help getting you past a sticking point on a particular writing project?

Help with writing a query letter or synopsis?

Guidance on choosing markets or agents?

Information about the publishing world and how it works?

Encouragement to keep you going when you’re not sure of yourself?

Inspiration to get your creativity flowing whenever you need it?

 

If you need any of these things or any other kind of writing help, my Writing Help Partnership coaching services are for you.  I can provide you with exactly what you need to move ahead with your writing.  If you’d like to have some specific examples of how I can help, click here.

 

Many writers think they can just read books or articles and learn how to get their writing career going.  And sure, you can do that.  But you get no feedback that way.  You get no hands-on guidance from someone who’s been there, done that.  No personal advice.  I can give you that hands-on guidance and personal advice.

 

All of the Writing Help Partnership coaching is done via e-mail or snail mail.  You can either send me your writing and your questions electronically, or you can send me your writing and your questions via snail mail.  I will send my feedback in the same manner.

 

Why don’t I offer phone-coaching?

 

Quite frankly, it’s a matter of best use of our time-YOURS and mine.  I’ve found that when coaching is done over the phone, it often gets off track and turns into long chats that take up my time and cost you, the writer, too much money. 

 

Even though I’m delighted to offer my writing coach services to you, I do still have my own writing career and business.  In addition to working on the books that my agent handles, I also write e-books, web content for several websites I own, and articles.  If I were to do coaching over the phone, I wouldn’t be able to take on as many clients because I wouldn’t have the time.  So I have set up my coaching in a way that will give the most people the most benefit in the most efficient way possible.

 

Besides, isn’t writing what we’re all about here?  If you can’t write out your questions, concerns, and needs, you’re going to have trouble successfully doing writing projects of any kind.  Getting coaching via e-mail is part of your learning process as a writer.  Every word you write helps you be a better writer!

 

The Writing Help Partnership gives you many options.  You can choose the amount of coaching you want.

 

You can get Writing Help Partnership coaching in either of two basic ways:

 

1.  You can get small chunks of time (one, two, or three hours).

 

When you get chunks of time, you can designate how you want to use that time any way you’d like (via e-mail or snail mail).  You can ask me questions.  You can have me evaluate your writing.  You can have me give you advice you on structuring a piece or planning a piece.  You can ask for marketing advice.  You can have me do a full critique.  It’s your choice.  You choose the amount of time you’d like to get from me, and I do all I can for you in that amount of time. 

 

In these chunks of time, I can give you

 

Help with setting your goals-choosing what you want to write and what your purpose is in writing it

Guidance in using compelling writing to support and/or market your professional skills

Evaluation of your writing style and skills and specific advice on improving that skill and honing those skills

Support that you need to get through any writing project

Detailed editing/feedback on a manuscript

Encouragement when you’re feeling doubt or confusion about your writing path

Help preparing your project for sale and help in finding a publisher for it

 

I can provide help in all these writing areas:

 

Fiction, both short and long, commercial or literary

Nonfiction books, both manuscripts and proposals

Articles

Essays

Memoirs

Salesletters or other marketing copy

Columns and column proposals

 

I offer you

 

Quick action (I will give you the feedback/support/answers you need usually within a week, often faster)

Adaptablility -I’ll help you with an idea, a part of a project or a full project

 

I keep track of the time I take to do any evaluating, critiquing, or question-answering for you.  I don’t include short e-mail correspondence in the time you’ve paid for.  I don’t keep track of every second I’m interacting with you.  I apply your time directly to the work I’m doing for you.

 

When I send you, via e-mail or snail mail, my feedback, support, or answers to your questions, I include a notation of the amount of time I spent on what I did.  I also let you know how much coaching time you have left.

 

2.  You can get a coaching package to compliment either of my two e-book packages, the How To Become A Writer Extraordinaire set of e-books, or the Novel Writing Made Easy set of e-books.

 

Both of my e-book sets have been designed to stand on their own.  You DO NOT NEED coaching to get great benefit from either e-book set.  If you read the main e-book and do the tasks in the taskbook that goes along with the e-book, you’ll get what I promise you’ll get from the e-book set.

 

BUT…

 

That said, both e-book sets require a lot of writing on your part if you’re going to get the most out of them.  And I know that it can be very difficult to come up with the self-discipline and the motivation to do what needs to be done to hone a skill like writing. 

 

I also know that it can feel like you’re flailing around when you are developing a skill.  Even if you have enough motivation to do all the tasks, you wonder if you’re doing them well.  What if your work isn’t what it needs to be to succeed?  What if you’re not applying the techniques you’re learning as well as you could?  You have no good way to evaluate your progress.

 

This is why I offer coaching packages to go along with the e-books.  For those of you who are truly serious about achieving writing success or serious about selling a novel, having a coach to walk you through the process is invaluable. 

 

This is true of any learning process.  The difference between what you can get out of a book or workbook and what you can get out of coaching that offers direct feedback and encouragement is like the difference between a prop plane and a supersonic jet.

 

If you want to learn and grow as a writer as quickly as possible, personal writing help is a must.  My own writing skill grew by leaps and bounds in just a few weeks when I worked via e-mail with a published author.  What I learned in those weeks was 10 times what I’d learned from the books I’d read up to that point.

 

The How To Become A Writer Extraordinaire Coaching Package

The Novel Writing Made Easy Coaching Package

 

When you choose to get the Novel Writing Made Easy coaching package, you will have my help as you go through all the tasks in your Novel Writing Made Easy Taskbook.  For example, I’ll help you

So what are the Writing Help Partnership Services going to cost?

 

I did a lot of long, hard thinking before I decided on prices for the Writing Help Partnership Services.  I conducted online research to find out what other writing mentors, editors, and teachers were charging.  What I discovered is that you can find writing help online at a WIDE range of prices.  The prices often vary depending on the writing experience and publishing experience of the coach or editor. 

 

If you do a search yourself, you’ll find some cheap prices out there.  One author, for example, who sells a novel writing e-book, offers as a free bonus, to give you a full critique of your manuscript.  The price of her e-book is $97.  So for $97, you’d get a full critique.  This novelist says she’s an award-winning author, which she technically is.  But her award is for a self-published novel, and the novel is a young adult novel.  In other words, her experience is limited.

 

I can tell you from vast personal experience that a critique you get for $97 won’t even be worth that much to you.  It is NOT possible to do a good critique of a novel in less than eight hours, and it can take much longer depending on the length. 

 

I will not set low prices that will force me to give you less than stellar coaching.  My pricing reflects the time, energy, and professionalism I apply to everything I do for you.

 

 

Here are the prices for Writing Help Partnership coaching services:

 

One hour of coaching:  $125

Two hours of coaching:  $230

Three hours of coaching:  $300

How To Become A Writer Extraordinaire coaching package:  $997

      Novel Writing Made Easy coaching package:  $1597

 

 

 

The hourly rates I charge reflect both the value of my time AND the value of the writing help I can give you. 

 

The coaching package rates reflect the number of hours I know I put in to help someone through the whole of the e-book sets. 

 

To coach someone through all the tasks in the How To Become A Writer Extraordinaire e-book set, I generally spend 16-plus hours of my time.  You see, unlike many instructors of online courses or other courses, I don’t have a couple dozen or more students to keep track of.  I don’t have to hurry through my feedback.  I give you precise, detailed feedback.  If I were to charge my cheapest hourly rate, the cost to you would be $1600.  When you buy the coaching package, I take off $603 from that cost. 

 

To coach someone through all the tasks in the Novel Writing Made Easy e-book set, I generally spend 30 plus hours of my time.  Again, I put my all into giving you feedback.  If I were to charge my cheapest hourly rate, the cost to you would be $3000.  W
