WHAT I DO NOT OFFER
Publishing & Business Guidance (General Concepts & Support Only)
Final copywriting editing
Editing the final manuscript in preparation for online publishing in both print and e-book formats.
I do not write your memoir for you (that is, ghostwriting - if interested in this, it is a separate conversation)
I do not provide detailed line editing or final proofreading
I am not a therapist. With memoir, many issues can arise. But with my decades of peer counseling training and spiritual work, I can help you manage the writing-related emotional process - this is a form of peer counseling.
NOTE: Honest journaling is when you speak/write honestly about your past traumas. This is also called Therapeutic Journaling and is part of our memoir writing experience. I have taught therapeutic journaling to thousands of writers over the past 15 years. Having said that, I am not a therapist, and our sessions are not therapy sessions - even though you may just find them quite therapeutic!
INTUITIVE COACHING - TESTIMONIAL
"Will has this uncanny ability to understand what's really being said.
He will intuit meaning and connect the dots simultaneously with lightening speed.
I left our conversation feeling heard, encouraged and energized.”

INTUITIVE COACHING - TESTIMONIAL
I have known Will as a fellow yoga teacher for over a decade and when I met him, I intuitively knew he was someone who would inspire me when the time was right to write! What this man has managed to squeeze out of me in 3 months has been beyond words.
Inspirational, kind, exceptionally intelligent, worldly and an amazing therapist with his writing techniques. I had no idea what had been buried in the attic of my mind with the hidden key! Not easy..this guy has changed the way I look and feel about my life. Thank you Will, just love working with you….
