John Soares: Freelance Writer, Coach, Mentor

I’ve been freelance writing since 1990, primarily for higher education companies. I’ve also written three trade paperback books, two still in print, with combined sales over 70,000 copies.

I’ve also been a serious student of time management, productivity, and work-life balance since the mid-1990s. You have likely read many of my posts here on Productive Writers, so you know who I am and what I do. You know that I share real-world techniques that help people like you get more writing done in less time – and for more money.

I also taught college for several years. I know how to explain important concepts clearly, and I know how to listen to you and understand exactly what you are facing in your career.

This Sounds Great! What Does It Cost?

I charge $70 for a 30-minute session and $120 for a 60-minute session.

I’m In! How Do We Set It Up?

1. Send me an e-mail (johnsoares88 – at – gmail.com) indicating you want to schedule a session. Tell me what days and times are best for you. My schedule varies a lot: sometimes I’m readily available; other times I’m very busy working or off hiking in the mountains.

2. I’ll write back and indicate which of your times works best for me, and I’ll also send you a brief questionnaire that guides you through identifying the most important topics we need to address.

3. You send me the payment via PayPal. (I’ll send instructions.)

4. You send me your completed questionnaire prior to our phone call.

So What Happens During a Coaching/Mentoring Session?

First, we connect via telephone or Skype.

Second, based on your answers to the questionnaire, we quickly determine the most important issues we need to address.

Third, we quickly get down to business and get busy addressing those issues.

You are welcome to record the call, but it is for your private use only.
