Enjoy a Creative Workshop Experience at Forestwriting.com: "A workshop experience where pen and

nature merge to create an empowering space for well-being. Activities are a combination of meditation, forest

oracle introductions, poetry writing, and reflective writing. Activities are time dependent and reflective of

participant interest. All activities are for those interested in connecting with trees. No writing experience

necessary. All workshops are offered by donation.

Forest Writing Productions is located in Bear River, Nova Scotia, Canada.

My author's services are available to clients locally from Digby to Annapolis Royal, and via the Internet

anywhere in Canada.

INITIAL CONSULTATION: before beginning to work together, we will discuss your needs in a free

personal consultation (in person or by phone or email).

WORKSITE: I generally work from my home office, but can work on-site with local clients in the Digby

to Annapolis Royal area.

OPTIONS FOR GETTING YOUR MATERIALS TO ME:

For indexing, documents in Word or .pdf format can be emailed to me. Indexes will be created in .docx

format but finished indexes can be saved to .pdf or other formats if needed. NOTE: Book indexing is

done from the completed manuscript; if editing is required after indexing is begun, the indexing will need

to be re-done.

For editing, documents in Word format can be emailed to me (.pdf documents will be converted to .docx

for editing).

For photo editing, print photos can be mailed (or brought to me if you are local). Digital photos can be

emailed. NOTE: Any common image format (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc.) is acceptable, but lossy formats like

JPGs must NOT have been edited and re-saved previously. Digital images should be as large as possible.

Original materials will be returned to the client unless otherwise requested.

The client is responsible for the cost of mailing.

Hourly: $20/hour, usually billed monthly.

Or you can pre-pay for a block of time in advance. (With a pre-paid block I will send you a timesheet showing the

time used and the amount remaining).
