Dallas offers both intensive storytelling coaching {think of these as topic-focused one-on-one workshops just for you} and manuscript editing, available a la carte or as package deals. Full details on pricing can be found on www.DallasAnneDuncan.com under the "For Storytellers" tab.

To be considered as a coaching client or for manuscript editing, fill out this form and Dallas will be in touch within two weeks. If you're selected to move forward immediately after application, the next step will be a mandatory 15-minute complimentary consultation to ensure that you're a good fit for one another, and to get to know each other a bit before diving into the weeds together. If you are not selected to move forward right away, fear not! There may be an opening in the future. Should that be the case, Dallas will be in touch and if you still wish to work with her, will book your intro consultation at that point.
