Penumbra's Writing Academy

Post by Penumbra »

Want to become a better writer? Then look no further! At Penumbra's Writing Academy, you can receive private one-on-one lessons and feed-back, all for the purpose of improving your writing!

Quick-critique Stall
Want me to just look over a short story or poem and give you an in-depth critique on said piece? Just link me to the piece and I will leave a reply/comment with edits on spelling/grammar and various pieces of advice. Also, state what level of critique you want, fluffy or brutal.

Classes
Requirements:
-Gold to pay for the lessons (Prices will be determined on a personal basis)
-A genuine desire to improve your writing
-A way to talk to me via chat (i.e. skype, AIM, etc)
-A blog, preferably

My credentials:
-Has won cash prizes on writing contests
-Has been published before, in school publications and more
- http://immortality-in-words.deviantart.com/
- http://lessonofthebutterfly.blogspot.com/
Note: Poetry is my specialty.

What I can offer in the lessons:
- Beta-reading
- Critique
- Editing
- Advice
- Prompts and assignments catering to your needs

What I will not work with:
- Fanfiction. I will not critique it. I will not assign it.


Just leave a reply stating your specific needs and what you are looking for in a lesson plan, and I will determine whether I can fulfill those needs, and how much they will cost you.

Hi there.
I got a Keep Story chapter that i need feedback about. Would you be able to do this?
If you can, i think i will choose brutal for the level of critique. If yes, how much would that be?
Thank you :wave:

Would you like feedback and editing? If I edit, I will fix spelling and grammar, as well as change sentences or word choice to improve flow, etc.

Also, payment is sort of sliding scale. We'll see how long my feedback comes out, but payment can range 3k to 10k
