Next Steps
Once payment has been processed, TLC will set up the session for you, providing you with a secure login link and password. Please use the link to ‘log in’ at the allocated time. If you would like a 5-minute ‘test login’ with the TLC team on Zoom, we are happy to set that up for you so you can familiarise yourself with the set-up of an online meeting.
Please note that it is your responsibility to submit your goal-setting sheet to TLC one week before the session, and to turn up at the allotted time. Sessions are fixed at a maximum one hour. No refunds will be provided for cancellations less than 7 business days in advance of your reserved timeslot, or for no-shows.
Engaging in one-to-one feedback can be a hugely valuable exercise – it is the cornerstone on which TLC’s work with writers is based. Do make the most of it, and we wish you a fruitful and inspiring hour with your editor.
