Author Coaching

It doesn’t matter what draft of a manuscript you’re on; if your readers aren’t resonating with your manuscript, you might need a developmental editor. Developmental work includes restructuring, reorganizing, and critically thinking about the manuscript as a whole to get to the heart of the story. Whether it’s taking a closer look at your table of contents, targeting weak points in your story arc, or addressing major gaps in your timeline, characterization, or setting, a developmental editor looks at your manuscript or proposal in total and gives you the tools to edit and revise your project with clarity and confidence.

Not sure where to go with your writing? Maybe you want to work on your prose style. Maybe you need a guide through the novel-writing process. Maybe you just need someone to direct questions to and to point you in the right direction. With one on one author coaching, you get a personalized weekly plan to improve your writing, set writing goals, and hold yourself accountable to those goals. The first consultation is always free to help assess your needs and determine whether or not coaching is the right fit for you.
