Your tale is epic, innovative, and beginning to grow tentacles. But…how are you going to get this thing written, edited, and ready for publishing?
Enter your book coach. I transform budding writers into dynamic professionals, and wild ideas into powerful books.
I have 3 programs to help you:
“I felt like I was being coached (one-on-one) by a college professor in a life-long writing course.”
-John P. Safranski, Force Without Form
Two things stand out. One is how to work with and develop character motivations in a more profound way, and the other is a better sense of pacing when it comes to balancing descriptions and actions.”
-Cearnach Grimm, Craving of the Sands
When I work with you as a one-on-one coach, I dive into your writerly world holistically. I get up in your worldbuilding notes, research comparative titles, and brainstorm alongside you. I’ll also keep tabs on our business, marketing, and publishing progress to ensure you are confident launching your book.
Twice in the process I will read and prepare an edit letter and in-manuscript comments and tracked changes through formal developmental and line edits.
Coaching is a three-month minimum and typically lasts nine months. I cap myself to three authors at a time to ensure attention to detail.
I choose projects I’m excited to get out into the world, and writers who are highly motivated and prepared to work closely together.
One-on-one book coaching is an investment for a serious writer who wants to get results at $2,250/mo for a minimum of 3 months.
Have an idea for a science fiction or fantasy book? In six weeks, I’ll help you design a dynamic character that effortlessly drives your plot forward. Together, we’ll build an outline so you can sit and write with confidence.
Six-Week Building a Story Program: $3,750
Have a completed manuscript? I’ll do a standalone edit resulting in an 8+ page edit letter and tracked changes in the document. I’ll also coach you on the growth of your author business over our month of working together.
Developmental Edits: 3.5c/word
Line Edits: 3.25c/word
