Coaching

Revision plan coaching is there to help you create a revision strategy for your book after getting feedback from your editor or agent.

If you just want to check-in and make sure you understand what is being said or asked of you, need someone to help you through editorial overwhelm, or you don’t want to feel like you’re badgering your editor, then this is the service for you.

Requirements:

• I have critiqued or edited your book within the last 3 months

• An editorial letter (or personalized feedback) from your editor and/or agent

You will leave the session with a revision plan on which items to tackle first and clarifications on any areas of confusion.

*If you are interested in this service but don’t meet the requirements (i.e. I haven’t read your book), you have the option to pay an additional $200 reading fee to become eligible.*

Brainstorming & Plotting sessions really focus on guiding you to synthesize your story or series concept and develop plot and character roadmaps that can better direct your writing efforts.

If you’ve ever worried about “being on the right track” (re: story development) or making sure your book will meet genre expectations (esp. for new-to-genre authors), or just want to streamline your plotting or editorial process to develop more realized and solid first drafts, then this is the service for you.

Requirements:

• • 1 – 2 page story concept document outlining your plan for your project, any ideas, must haves, prompts, etc. included (if you have a story synopsis, that is preferred)

If your project has any linked editorial (e.g. short stories, freebies, or other books in the series), please also send:

• • Series outline
  • Copies of other or previous books in the series

You will leave each session with a writing plan for the week and ideas for exploration to be developed in our next session.

Interested in a workshop that gives insight into an acquisitions editor’s thought process while reviewing submissions?

Small group coaching sessions run for 3.5 hours and are limited to 5 participants total. Each attendee must submit a 1 page (500 words) story concept note and the first 20k words of their current manuscript a month before the workshop for everyone to review in advance. Participants will receive verbal feedback during the session and their marked manuscript pages afterward.

To book a coaching session, please go to:

Please make sure you book all coaching sessions at least 2 weeks in advance, or you will incur an additional drop-in schedule fee.

Note: If you require a minimum of 2 months of coaching to complete your project, I strongly recommend you book the Brainstorming & Plotting Bundle, which offers 10 sessions at the discounted price of $720.
