Tell me about your book project!

Tell me about your book project!
Yes, I know... This form is pretty long. But if you are really looking for serious, professional help with your book—whether you're right at the beginning, stuck in the middle, or looking for help with a revision—knowing all this about your project will help me see whether we could be a good fit. It might also help me see that I know another coach who might be better for you, who has more experience in your genre, etc.

So bear with me! I really want to know more about your project!

Working virtually requires some technical knowledge, all of which is pretty easy. I'd just like to know if you're comfortable using the tools that I use to work with clients, which are:
1. Zoom for coaching calls
2. Microsoft Word track changes
3. Dropbox for sharing files
If we work together, I will expect you to become familiar with all the above—and will point you to tutorials and/or Loom videos I made if necessary.
Are you comfortable working with track changes in Word?*
Do you know how to use Zoom—which requires a computer with a camera and a microphone? (Most laptops have these built in.)*
Do you know how to use Dropbox?*
Is there anything else you'd like to tell me about yourself or your project?
