Custom Consulting
I’m happy to do consulting work that’s customized to your needs. I’m fluent in marketing, merchandising, promotion, internal and external communication, and proving the value of libraries. I can also help with secret shopping evaluations. Tell me what you’re looking for, and I’ll tell you if it fits with my expertise, or if I know someone else who could serve you better. We can agree on a flat fee or an hourly fee, depending on your situation.
Speaking and Training
I’m comfortable in a room of 10 people or a ballroom of 500 people. I’m fine online (speaking on your platform) or in person, presenting an hour-long session or a day-long workshop.
When I have to travel, my travel expenses would need to be paid in addition to a speaking fee.
Choose a tried-and-true session from my Course List, or tell me what you need so we can create training that’s right for you.
Prices vary according to whether the lesson is standard or customized, how long the presentation is, and the amount of research necessary.
Evaluation of Collateral Materials
I am happy to evaluate / audit your library’s collateral materials (brochures, newsletters, press releases, posters, etc.) and suggest ways to make them more effective. Priced by the hour.
Writing
Need an article on any of the topics I cover? Just ask! Writing is my forte and I can absolutely deliver clear communications on topic and on time. Prices vary according to word count, lead time given, and the amount of research necessary.

A Note About Pricing…
Each project is unique. Once I understand exactly what a client wants, I can quote a fee. Understanding libraries’ tight budgets, I try very hard to be affordable. Let’s talk!
