Coaching Specials

Special #1: The Mini Blueprint Strategy Session

Who This Offer is For

  • Writers who have an idea for a nonfiction book, novel, memoir, children’s book, short story, essay, picture book, or poetry, and who have written at least 3,000 words or finished the smaller manuscript in question.
  • You might be feeling stuck, discouraged, or plain frustrated with your work in progress. I’m here to help.
  • I specialize in helping emerging writers approach their writing, publishing, and marketing with a rekindled passion and a burning desire to accomplish good in the world. My clients are often approaching publishing for the very first time. I am a helper and encourager by nature.
  • As a result, I have a thorough, organized approach paired with warmth and kindness. I feel called to do this work and love meeting new people and their projects. I can’t wait to read your writing.

Why You Should Choose Me

  • I am triple certified with the premier book coaching training company Author Accelerator in Nonfiction, Memoir, and Fiction (all streams of certifications that exist.) I have worked with a wide variety of projects in my career and bring that varied expertise to the table.
  • I have also taken specialized training in deep revision from Author Accelerator called the 3D Revision Plan. I plan and execute revision projects strategically and effectively, using proven strategies.
  • I am kind and understanding, honest and firm. There are no credentials for these qualities, but you know it when you feel it. Read these testimonials from my clients to see how my approach impacted them. For more about me, read my bio.

What’s Included in the Strategy Session

  • A review of 3,000 words of your work in progress
  • A review of your Mini Blueprint (template provided)
  • A 50-minute coaching call

How Much Does it Cost?

$299 USD plus applicable sales tax. (Clients from USA and other countries outside of Canada do not have any sales tax.)

Interested?

Fill out my Coaching Specials Welcome Questionnaire to let me know you are interested, and to get the ball rolling. If I cannot help you with your project or if I am not a good fit, I will help you find someone who is.

Would you like to work together past this Strategy Session?

Here are some ways I can help you take your project further, after our Strategy Session, in one-on-one coaching:

  • Help create a 3D Revision plan that solves the problems highlighted in your Strategy Session, by prioritizing which edits need to be done first, brainstorming wholistic solutions, and giving you a strategic way to execute your revisions, so you are organized and efficient.
  • Help fix structural problems that surface in our Strategy Session through completing the Blueprint, an Author Accelerator tool to help design and revise writing projects.
  • Help design or rework your query, synopsis, or book proposal for agents and/or publishers to match the changes needed in your review with me.
  • Create a pitch strategy for approaching agents or publishers when your manuscript is polished and ready for the world to see!

If you would like to explore working together, I will extend our video conferencing meeting by an hour to have a free discovery call. We will then discuss what working together further could look like, with no strings attached.

Special #2: Commercial Viability 360° Review

This coaching special assesses whether your work is commercially viable–suitable for publishing and positioned to sell well–by taking a 360° look at your project.

Who This Offer is For

  • Writers who have an idea for a nonfiction book, novel, memoir, children’s book, collection of short stories or essays, or poetry collection, and who have written at least 60 double spaced pages, or a book proposal or finished the smaller manuscript in question.
  • You might be wondering:
    • Is my writing is ready for the spotlight?
    • Can readers really connect with it?
    • Would an agent or publisher be looking for something like this?
    • How will I position my book in terms of genre? Is it upmarket, literary, or genre fiction? Is it a memoir or a nonfiction book with storytelling elements?
    • How will I fulfill other genre conventions like how the ending plays out or the choosing the age of the characters?
    • Is my word count long or short enough?
  • You might be getting rejections when pitching your work to traditional or hybrid publishers.
  • You might be feeling stuck, discouraged, or plain frustrated in general with your completed draft. I’m here to help.
