Introduction

I collaborate with writers working within traditional literary forms. My clients bring me diagrams, scraps of memory, an assignment from junior high describing how they think, feel, and what they know; glimmers of who they are. Our shared goal is to transform their remnants (sometimes of a life) into a novel, short story, essay, poem, play, or memoir. There is a camaraderie in our pursuit of truth, and joy of insight. During this unprecedented time of social distancing, where the physical intimacy of close collaboration has become health-threatening, I offer my services via ZOOM.

Lovering helped me write a creative short story about my trip from Peru, where I was raised, to the U.S. After my lessons I felt much more confident about writing and about myself. Lovering is an amazing teacher, I learned so much!

A friend of mine requested that I write a letter of reference for her a few years ago. I had very little time to fulfill her request so I called upon Lovering to write the letter for me. I gave Lovering a list of my friend's outstanding qualities and she added the prose. The result was a top notch letter of reference and my friend got the job! Sincerely, Donna Dixon

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not charge for the initial consultation. I give discounts for multiple scheduled reading and writing lessons per week. For most assignments, I charge a $45-$50/hour fee or a $125 flat fee for less than 2000 words. I do not do translations.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For clients who have written products, I proofread the material for spelling and grammar and make improvements to diction, word choice, sentence structure, flow, and fluency. For clients with ideas but nothing yet on paper, I suggest we approach the outline of the desired product through a ZOOM or Telephone discussion.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Swedish Television Associate Producer of Documentary Film Antioch New England Doctoral Studies in Environmental Memoir Southern NH University MBA Hampshire College Graduate School of Business MS CED.
