Concept Consultation Package

Develop your concept and organize your ideas.

Have you always wanted to write a book, but don’t know where to start? Do you have an idea, but need help organizing it? This Concept Consultation Package will help you conceptualize your idea and provide an action plan to get your manuscript organized and started.

So, before you dive into unknown waters, let me help you make a plan to start and finish your novel as effectively as possible. This Concept Consultation will provide you with a clear vision and organization for your manuscript.

Almost every author I consult with says, “These are the tips I wish I had known when I started. It would have saved me countless hours!” Taking this step first will save you both time and money!

 Process:

Step 1: Coaching Conversation: Conceptualize (45 to 60 minutes)

Discover and create a vision for your book and a detailed profile of your reader.

 Step 2. Coaching conversation: Book structure, flow, and outline (45 to 60 minutes)

Brainstorm a structure and approach that fits the reader benefit you identify. Make sure structure is a good fit for your writing style.

Step 3. Coaching conversation: Sample chapter (45 to 60 minutes)

Will cover how to structure and pace a chapter and what elements needs to be in it. Follow-up will specifically identify what you do well, areas where you (or we as editors) will need to compensate, and a writing process that fits you well.

 cost: $500


Manuscript Consultation

Manuscript consultations provide feedback on your manuscript and identify areas to work on in the next round of editing. Manuscript consultations look at both higher-order concerns, such as plot structure and character development, and lower-order concerns, such as style, tone, and dialogue.

Whether you are hoping to self-publish or pursue traditional publishing, a manuscript evaluation provides professional guidance to help get your novel ready for the next step.

What the package includes:
-  One to two-page manuscript feedback
-  Follow-up email(s) or 30-minute phone call to discuss the feedback and answer any questions you may have

What to send:
-  Full manuscript as a Word document
-  List of questions or concerns for specific attention

*Manuscript feedback will be delivered 30 days after payment and manuscript are received.
