Pay as You Go

Many first-time clients want to try out our services before committing to multiple hours up front. Others simply prefer to schedule sparingly, without the obligation to plan ahead month by month. Pay-as-you-go purchasing affords touch-and-go clients the flexibility to dip into—and out of—writing coaching or tutoring sessions as needed. It’s a great way to start, and remember: you can switch to packages or retainers at any time.

Pay-as-you-go, session-by-session purchasing is the most expensive way to buy. Clients receive an email invoice following each meeting with their GWG faculty member. Invoices are due within 24 hours of receipt, after which they are charged to your card on file (stored securely with Square).

Package Purchasing

Save by buying in bundles of either 4 or 8 hours at once. Maybe you have a time-bound project, a finite goal, or a set amount of money to spend. Maybe you want to work with your writing instructor or editor for a few weeks or months at a time, taking hiatuses in between. Package purchasing is ideal for these situations, and you can always buy another bundle or switch to a monthly retainer if you decide to continue on.

We bill for packages similarly to how we bill for pay-as-you-go purchases. Just tell your instructor or editor you'd like to buy a package of 4 or 8 hours, and they'll send you an electronic invoice via Square. Payment is required up front; it is not possible to pay for your meeting package in installments.

Monthly Retainer

Opt into a retainer-style subscription plan entitling you to either 2 or 4 hours of meeting time with your writing instructor every month, according to your preference. Most retainer clients distribute these hours as weekly sessions (for 4-hour/month subscribers) or bi-weekly sessions (for 2-hour/month subscribers). Retainers are the most cost-effective way to work with a Gilliam Writers Group faculty member.

We'll send you a link to sign up through Square, our payment platform. After that, your subscription will renew automatically every 30 days on an ongoing basis. Though retainers are non-refundable month by month, you can log onto Square any time to pause, de-activate, or resume your plan.
