Three Months of Guided Coaching to Elevate Your Manuscript
You’ve started your novel and know that the concept is strong. You're excited - but you want hands on help through the multi-stage process of worldbuilding through to first draft.
Or perhaps you've started writing and lost momentum. You want help getting unstuck and getting to the end.
Finally, perhaps you've finished a first draft. You want a coach and development editor rolled into one to get you the best possible draft for submissions or publication.
The Novel Development Package is a 3-month partnership designed to get you through all the obstacles, fears, and roadblocks that writers face. I'll be there for you every step of the way and together we'll work out a plan to get your book written.
What’s Included
3 Months of Focused Story Development
We’ll work together across six one-hour sessions (two per month) to build the novel you want to write, no matter what stage you're at - planning, drafting or editing.
Two One-Hour Video Calls per Month
We will analyze where you are in the development process, what's working and what's not, and project next steps to move your project forward - no matter where you are in the development process.
Written Feedback After Every Session
You’ll receive detailed notes and next steps so you can revise with confidence between calls.
“Office Hours” Email Access — Twice Weekly
Have a quick question or want to clarify feedback? You can email me twice a week for direct, personal support between sessions.
