NOW ACCEPTING WRITERS ACROSS BRITISH COLUMBIA

30 minutes of connection with a professional writer, with no obligation to sign up.
We'll sit down on a phone or video call, where I'll take time to learn a little bit about your writing habits, goals, and any projects that you're currently working on or dreaming about. Then, I'll follow up with an email where you'll have the option to book your first paid session.
You're hiring a writing coach who is also a writer.
Jessica Barratt, Founder of Manifest Content Solutions
"I'm no stranger to all the resistances that come up for writers who struggle to put their stories down. I've been writing from a very young age and am still discovering all the different tricks one can play on themselves to get their writing on the page for someone else to see. Because the beauty is: once someone else sees it, there's no telling where it can go from there. Book a free consultation, there's no pressure to sign-up!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a writing coach?
My base rate for a live one-hour session is $50 CAD. That includes $35/hour per session, and an extra $15 for administration and follow-up email with homework, notes, and/or feedback. During each call I offer additional next steps to achieve your goals. It is up to you whether you want to complete them yourself, or hire me to do so at an added cost.
Have you published any books?
Yes. I've self-published two short works with full creative control through Blurb.ca, and am currently pitching a full-length manuscript titled Otter and Arrow to Canadian publishers and grant associations for additional funding. I've also helped other writers publish their own books and eBooks online. You can view my published books by clicking on their titles here: The Home Rooms: A Book of Comfort and Brittle Leaves & Broken Eaves. You can also view some of the publications and content I've helped others produce in my portfolio, or my author's page.
What payment options do you offer?
I currently accept payments through PayPal, Upwork, Payoneer, Transferwise, and for my Canadian clients, Interac E-transfer. I am always testing new payment options; ask if yours is available.
Can you help me get published?
That depends on whether you are open to self-publishing, or whether you'd like to pitch your manuscript to publishers. In both cases, I am more than happy to help you with that process! However, they both require quite a bit of work, and in the latter case, I cannot guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted. What I can do is help you improve your writing and pitch proposal, and help you find the right publisher for your material.
Do you serve clients outside of Canada?
Absolutely. I have served clients across six continents, including North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia. However, live calls are only available within the PST time zone between the hours of 9:30 AM and 2:00 PM. Other options are available for writers in other countries.
What happens during the free consult?
During the free consult, we sit down on a 30-minute call to discuss your writing habits, goals, and explore whether you want to sign up for your first workshop session or inspiration session. At this time, we can determine whether we're the right fit, and whether I have the right skills to match your writing style, writing ideologies, and proposed subject matter interests.
