How we work together

I work with people who want to move from story idea to first draft, and I do that through a three step process.

Test the waters of your idea with Author Accelerator’s one-page mini blueprint exercise. Engage your curiosity as you explore the potential of your story idea through deceptively simple questions and prompts. You’ll receive inline comments from me and a 30 minute Zoom coaching call to talk through your idea and next steps. Capture that spark of an idea and make it real!

Story Seed

Now that you’ve nurtured your story idea, it’s time to do some story planning to help it grow. We’ll use Author Accelerator’s Blueprint for a Book to map out some details (but not too many!) and give you a sense of the shape of your story. You’ll get clear on your Why, your Point, design the structure of your novel, and develop a flexible outline. Through two deadlines, two 1-hour coaching calls and two rounds of written feedback you will come away with a clear vision of your story and have a plan to begin drafting.

Story Sprout

You’ve prepared well and it’s time to start drafting! Ensure you stay true to your vision and make consistent progress with this month-to-month coaching package. Submit up to 10 pages (double spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font, 1” margins) twice a month and receive written feedback as you draft. While there is no live coaching in this package, a 60 minute coaching call can be added for $75 whenever you need extra support.
