​1. Nail Your Story

 

Let's discuss your idea or story in a one-hour phone call. This will help you get clear on how to shape it into a marketable book.

2.  Blueprint Your Book

 

Preparing a blueprint for your book can save months or years of frustration and get you to THE END. Think of it as creating the plans for a house before you build it, yet with enough flexibility built in to include fresh creativity and new insights as you write. No grand staircase to nowhere. No gold-plated shower hooked up to nothing. Doing this work is invaluable whether you are starting your book or looking for a way to get unstuck. A solid blueprint will allow you to write forward with confidence. I will give you written feedback on work you submit weekly and we will discuss your work in monthly one-hour phone calls. 

 

$800 for each four-session package. Writers generally need one or two packagesnto complete their blueprint.

3. Book-in-Progress Coaching

 

When you write without expert guidance and feedback, the vision in your head may not make it onto the page. And it can be a lonely experience. It doesn't have to be. As your coach and accountability partner, I will keep your book on track and always tell you the truth about your writing. You will submit up to 20 pages of new or revised material every week. I will give constructive feedback, guidance for writing forward or revising, and monthly one-hour phone calls. 

 

$800 for each four-session package.

 

 

4. Manuscript Evaluation

 

Have you completed a manuscript (bravo!) but don’t know if it is any good? I can provide you with a comprehensive editorial assessment. I will tell you what is and is not working and a map for revisions if they are needed. Note: this is a big-picture assessment, not a line edit.

 

$2,000 for up to 80 pages, ($20 for each additional page).

 

Note: all pages must be in standard 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins on all sides on 11 x 8.5 inch pages.

​

 

5. Agent Pitch Package

 

Want to land an agent but don’t know where to start? I will help you put together the required synopsis and query letter, compile a deeply researched list of best-fit agents and develop a strategic pitch plan. This package is reserved for clients whose manuscripts I have evaluated or who have completed their manuscript during Book-in-Progress Coaching with me. I charge an extra $1,000 to read a manuscript I have not evaluated.
