For the last few weeks, I’ve been offering one-time free 30-minute writing consultations to paid subscribers of Theory Underground in preparation for their upcoming anthology series.
These consultations have been a lot of fun. I’ve enjoyed meeting theorists from around the world. They’re all passionate about their projects and excited to participate in what McKerracher and his fellow travelers call “the milieu,” their term for the sort of sustained, thoughtful dialogue that leans heavily into what Peter Elbow calls “the believing game.”
There’s been a lot of interest in follow up meetings, but I’ve been noncommittal because these consultations are a lot of work and I already have a full-time job. But I’m excited to share that Hello Gorgias! is offering a finite number of personal 30-minute writing consultations during the months of May, June, and July.
One (30-minute) consultation is $50.
Three (30-minute) consultations is $125.
Five (30-minute) consultations is $200.
There will be a 10% discount for paid subscribers of Hello Gorgias! and an additional 5% discount for Theory Underground paid subscribers.
What will you get out of these meetings?
As much writing help as we can squeeze into 30 minutes!
We can brainstorm, discuss research strategies, or develop a plan for revision. I can help you refine the structure of your argument, develop an outline, or offer line-by-line feedback on your work. Or we can start mapping out potential counterarguments and thinking about how you’ll respond to the most relevant critiques of your work.
This time is yours, so its ultimately up to you to decide how you want to use it.
Space is extremely limited and ‘first come, first serve,’ so if you’re interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, please reach out ASAP.
In the rest of the post, I wanted to address some of the most common questions coming up in my one-one-one consultations with the philosophers of Theory Underground. In this month’s Q&A, I’ll cover:
Choosing between projects
Working through writer’s block
Defining the scope of your project
Researching your topic
Writing your proposal for the TU anthology
If you have other questions about writing or the writing process, consider becoming a paid subscriber.
