Coaching Services

 My coaching services are designed to bring out the best in your fiction. Whether you are writing your first novel or have published before, I can help make your prose shine. I can work with you from start to finish, giving insight into what is working in your story and what needs improvement. My services are quite reasonable compared to many other coaches without scrimping on quality.

Book Blueprint

All successful projects, whether writing a book or building a house, require a firm foundation. My book blueprint program is based on proven successful techniques designed to take you from idea to finished product. It consists a series of exercises that will help you get to the core of your story providing the foundation and confidence to produce a completed draft that needs relatively minimal revision. Whether you have an idea for a book, a rough draft, or are a few chapters in and stuck, I can help. $500

Complete Manuscript Review

My complete manuscript review is for those who have a completed manuscript that has been through a couple of revisions and is ready for the next step. I will read your manuscript and point out strengths and weaknesses in the story structure. Some problems may be easily fixable while others may be more difficult or even doom the book from the start. I will provide a written review of your work and suggestions on how to improve it. $500 up to 400 pages, .50 per page after that.
