The Wisdom Academy

When you register for the Foundation Module in Consciousness Studies from The Wisdom Academy, a private mentor will guide you through the basics for understanding philosophy's "hardest problem," science's "final frontier," and spirituality's "greatest mystery."

Explore consciousness using the Scientist's Gift of the senses, the Philosopher's Gift of reason, the Shaman's Gift of feeling, and the Mystic's Gift of intuition.

You will learn how consciousness relates to the body, to society, and to nature.

. . . emphasizing the importance of direct felt experience. In addition, the advanced mentorship coaches clients in ways to improve authentic self-expression through spoken and written word.

All it takes is passion, determination, and commitment. Typically, I work with authors for a year to help get their books in shape. Sometimes it takes a little longer; sometimes we get it to a publisher within a few months. It all depends on how far along you are when we start to work together.

It took about a year to turn Robert Kull’s PhD dissertation into Solitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes (New World Library, 2009). Find out how I can do the same for you.

Editing. If you have a manuscript you want to turn into a book, I encourage you to follow your vision.

First step, contact me. You will benefit from my years of experience as a professional editor. I help you shape the flow and structure of your book. I work closely with you until your writing “sings”—making sure it is clear, concise, and communicates exactly what you want to say.

Fees for editing a completed manuscript range between $4,000-$6,000, depending on the length of the book and on how far the project is already developed.

Editing fees can be paid in advance (10% discount) or monthly over a three-month period.

Coaching. After the initial edit of a manuscript, authors have the option to continue working with me on a monthly retainer as a writing coach to help them polish and refine the book, and to prepare a targeted book proposal.

Or, if you don't yet have a completed manuscript, and want to start writing your book, I can work with you to turn your ideas or story into a publishable manuscript.

I give you regular chapter-by-chapter feedback aimed at taking your writing to the next level. We work on polishing your literary gems till they shine, capturing and holding your readers’ attention.

Next, I work with you to prepare a first-class book proposal—including key messages, synopsis, and pitch letter.

Writing coach fees range between $1,000 - $2,000 per month (depending on the level of work involved).

Agenting. After working with you to prepare your book proposal, I send it to selected publishers, and negotiate the most favorable contract—including advance, royalties, film and foreign rights.

When it comes to finding a good publisher, my services as a literary agent are based on a typical 15% commission.

If you have a manuscript you want to turn into a publishable book, and have funds to work with a first-class editor and writing coach, please contact me.

I work with a limited number of first-time authors who are passionate about getting published and who have the potential and determination to make it happen.
