Welcome! Before you book an appointment, please write to me at query@lizvanhoose.com and let me know a little bit about you, your work and the guidance you seek. It would be helpful to include a brief synopsis and total word count of the manuscript, as well as an attachment that includes the first 25-30 pages. I’ll respond with various feedback options and pricing information. To those of you who’ve been in touch: I look forward to talking with you.

Here is an outline of what to expect once you book an appointment.

1. You and I will receive a confirmation email. The message will include a link and dial-in information for a Zoom meeting.

2. You'll send me the materials you'd like for me to read by 7 a.m. on the day we have arranged for you to deliver them.

3. At the appointed time, you'll join the Zoom meeting provided in the appointment confirmation message. I'll be standing by to speak with you. A recording and AI transcript will be generated automatically with Rev. If you would prefer to skip the AI-generated transcript, or would like to speak by phone instead of Zoom, please notify me in advance of our call.

5. Together we'll talk about voice, character, plotting, atmospherics, narrative structure, and great works of today and of yore that offer relevant models to imitate.

6. If you have any questions or concerns, please write to me at query@lizvanhoose.com.

Thank you!
