For reference, the company in question was Dorrance Publishing. They have a bunch of different services, the writing coach was just the one I was interested in.
Yea Dorrance is a vanity publisher. They are predatory in nature, they have no interest in selling books. They make their profit off of writers who don't know better. Maybe the coaching service has some value, but I wouldn't trust a vanity publisher with anything personally.



Thanks for the information!

I reached out to a publishing company today because they also offered writing coaches that help you get on track and get ideas out. But uh....$330 dollars for a service like that sounds extreme to me.
That sounds like a vanity press scam to me. Legitimate publishers don't ask you to foot the bill and it sounds like their business model is based on selling writing coaching.

ive been saving for a new laptop so i can play bg3, cyberpunk 2077 and a bunch of games im my steam library + use adobe after effects but god the new spidey game is hardcore tempting me to reshift my funds to a ps5 aaaaaa


Just beat the new Spider-Man and it's super good, but I'd recommend going for the laptop. Chances are it'll be coming to PC eventually like the first one.

i gave one of my students extremely mild grief (i made a passing joke about them possibly getting me sick) and they said they felt guilty for it and i felt so guilty LMAO 



I'm blaming you both. You mentioned flu season and I immediately woke up sick today.
