Have you always wanted to write a book, but don’t know where to start? Do you dream of putting your ideas onto paper, but never get around to it?

This one-hour consultation will give you an action plan to get your book started and written. 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!”

So, before you dive into unknown waters, let me help you make an action plan to start and finish your novel as effectively as possible. Learn what it takes to write, publish, and market a novel and leave with a plan that will help you make your novel a reality. Taking this step first will save you both time and money!

What to bring to the consultation:

Plot consultations provide one-on-one guidance to help close the gap between your ideas and the words on the page. A 60 to 90-minute consultation will outline the key elements of the plot and give guidance on how to strengthen areas that are working well and provide strategies for elements that are not.

I will help identify areas that are weak, confusing, or missing, and provide solutions to tie the plot together into a more cohesive whole. No matter where you are in the writing process, plot consultations will help you get started, keep writing, or finish your novel with the inspiration and knowledge you need.

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.
