I was curious if anyone as a beginner, or otherwise, has taken on a paid mentor to look over their chapters as they're written to guide them and their story's development. I've found some of the SYW crits invaluable as a beginner, moving me faster than I seem to be able to move myself in learning what makes good writing. But to expect AW member generosity to continually take on that role is a bit much to ask, I believe.
There are some here who obviously have a very deep knowledge of the craft. and that has got to be worth something (if indeed they wanted to take on a mentor role.) So, what do you think would be fair reward for a person to look over your work every couple of weeks as a mentor?
