Private 15-Minute Appointments     $30

First-come first-served: appointments are limited.

Quick fifteen-minute consultations will be offered on Zoom with some of our wonderful writer-teachers, including Alex Espinoza, Janet Fitch, Sands Hall, and Dana Johnson.

Come with a question. Or come with a page (limit 250 words). Having a thorny problem with a story? Worried about the end of your novel? Do you have issues about the writing life? This is the place to get fresh insight. The focus of your session is up to you.

Sign up for a consultation today. You will be paired with one of these generous and talented writer-teachers. (You may request your top two choices of staff member, subject to availability. )

Come with a question: Issues about dialogue, prose style, characterization? Come to the session prepared with a question or more than one! The time is yours.

Or come with a page: Need help with dialogue or prose style? Submit one page, double spaced (limit 250 words), and a staff member will respond to what’s on the page and beyond.

Appointments available 10 AM – 5 PM (Pacific).

Registration closes Saturday, December 5 at 8:00 AM (Pacific).

Once you register, we will be in touch with your appointment details.

Please make sure you’ve downloaded and installed the most recent version of Zoom and have good audio and video available.

Please note: If you want to share a page of your writing, we will email you ask you to submit your page the day before your appointment. The Elf will share these with you and the staff writer-teacher during your appointment. (The staff member won’t see your page in advance.)

(Cancellations for full refunds, to be considered, must be requested before 8 am on Saturday.)
