About the Service

As the Novel Consultant for Truby Writers' Studio and a private Developmental Editor, I mentor emerging writers, USA Today bestsellers, agent referrals, Pushcart Prize winners and Pen nominees. Over the past twenty years, I've taught at the Writers Program at UCLA Extension, run workshops, held seminars and presented talks at national conferences. After graduating from the USC School of Cinematic Arts and earning an MFA in Creative Writing at Antioch University, my focus on structure combines with my study of prose techniques to help me find solutions to your story challenges. As an award-winning author, essayist, and screenwriter actively engaged in my own projects, I also understand the struggle. With a free ten minute consultation, I can help you determine where to start.

My specialties include QUERY LETTERS, PROPOSALS, HOURLY CONSULTATION, JUMPSTART PACKAGE, and FULL MANUSCRIPT CONSULTATION. See the consultation page on my website for more detailed info. www.leslielehr.com  Happy writing!
