You’re shaping an idea or working through an unfinished draft. These services build momentum, clarify your path, and help you finish confidently.
What it is: A focused, friendly 60-minute Zoom or phone call to untangle plot knots, test premises, and map your next steps. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a short, doable plan.
Deliverables:
Best for: Writers who are stuck, juggling ideas, questioning a premise, or unsure what should happen next. Great for “is this working?” spot checks, tightening a wobbly middle, or picking among competing directions.
Turnaround:
You’ll get your written recap within 24–48 hours after our call.
What I’ll need:
A brief summary (150–300 words) of your story or situation and your top 2–3 questions. Optional: up to ~2 pages of outline or excerpt if it will help us focus.
What to expect:
Come as you are—no heavy prep required. We’ll clarify your core problem in the first few minutes, explore options, choose a path, and turn it into a simple action plan you can start immediately.
What it is: A big-picture, strategic review of your outline, synopsis, or partial draft designed to give you the clearest, most direct route to “The End.” Think of it as your personalized story roadmap—showing you where you’re on track, where you might veer off course, and how to reach your destination without losing momentum.
Deliverables:
A 2–3 page blueprint covering your story’s premise, stakes, plot shape, scene sequencing, and pacing
A simple, finish-the-draft plan with milestones and word-count targets so you always know what to write next
Targeted suggestions for strengthening structure, character arcs, and thematic threads
Best for: Writers with 10–20k words drafted, or a working outline, who want a sharper vision of their story’s journey. Perfect for when your idea is strong but the middle feels foggy—or when you’ve been writing scenes without a clear structure.
Turnaround: Typically, 7–10 business days once I begin work on your project
What I’ll need: Your outline or synopsis, or up to 20k words of your draft. I’ll also ask for your genre, target audience, and comparable titles to help shape recommendations.
What to expect:
I’ll read through your work, identify what’s already working, and uncover the weak spots slowing you down. You’ll get a clear, actionable map that blends craft insight with achievable next steps—so you can move forward with confidence and finish strong.
What it is: An in-depth, big-picture review of your opening chapters to ensure your story launches with momentum, clarity, and emotional pull. We’ll look at how your first act sets up your premise, stakes, pacing, and characters—and whether it hooks your ideal reader right from page one.
Deliverables:
Best for: Writers with a complete or partial draft who want to be sure their beginning is strong enough to carry the rest of the story. Ideal if you’re preparing to query, considering self-publishing, or want to fix momentum issues early before they ripple through the whole manuscript.
Turnaround: 7–10 business days after I begin work on your project.
What I’ll need: The first 50 pages (or up to 20k words) of your manuscript, plus your genre, target audience, and comparable titles. A short synopsis is also helpful for context.
What to expect:
I’ll read your pages as both an editor and an engaged reader, noting where the story shines and where readers might hesitate. You’ll come away with a clear, structured plan to refine your opening, establish your characters and stakes, and set your story up for a satisfying finish.
What it is: Ongoing, personalized support to help you keep writing, stay focused, and feel confident in your story’s direction. You’ll get regular check-ins, constructive feedback, and practical guidance — without feeling like you’re on your own between milestones.
Deliverables:
One 60-minute call per month (Zoom or phone) for brainstorming, troubleshooting, and accountability
Chapter or scene review (up to 6,000 words per month) with targeted comments on structure, pacing, and style
Unlimited email support between calls for questions, encouragement, or quick feedback
Simple action plan after each call so you know exactly what to work on next

Writers who want steady guidance without the intensity or cost of a high-touch program. Perfect for those working on a long-term project who need accountability and expert insight at key points along the way.
