In four focused sessions over eight weeks, we’ll transform your scattered notes or fuzzy concept into a clear, actionable story roadmap, using the framework from Jennie Nash’s Blueprint for a Book. We’ll sharpen your plot, clarify your character arcs, and create a development timeline that fits your real life.

This is for you if: 

• You have a story idea but need help to shape it into a compelling plot
• You’re stuck mid-draft and can’t figure out what’s not working
• You’ve completed the first draft and need to step back and reassess before diving into revision

You’ll receive: 

• A digital copy of Blueprint for a Book: Build Your Novel from the Inside Out by Jennie Nash
• In-line comments and evaluation on four iterative drafts of your blueprint and outline
• A detailed editorial letter for each submission with prioritized next steps
• Four 45-minute recorded coaching calls

By the end of our two months together, you‘ we‘ll have:

• A comprehensive story blueprint, grounded in your unique vision
• A high-level outline to guide focused, purposeful drafting 
• Opening chapters that reflect the tone, voice, and structure of your novel 
• A realistic project plan to keep you moving forward… even with a full schedule 
• Confidence that your story is making steady progress, not tucked away and waiting for “someday”!

Price: $800 
Need more time or an extra deadline check-in? Add a feedback round with call for $150.

It’s easy to start strong with a fresh idea. But maintaining that momentum when you’re 20K or 30K words in? That’s where things start to get tricky, especially for research-minded writers juggling demanding careers and perfectionist tendencies. I’ve been there! 

This one-on-one coaching package helps you stay on track. I’ll be your accountability partner and creative sounding board — your strategic guide as you draft or revise. We’ll keep your story aligned with your vision, adapt your outline as needed, and create a project plan that fits your schedule. 

You’ll receive: 

• Two submission deadlines per month (up to 5,000 words each) 
• In-line comments and a detailed editorial letter for each submission
• A 30-minute recorded coaching call for each submission to discuss feedback, troubleshoot issues, and plan next steps

By the end of three months, you’ll have:

• At least 30,000 new or revised words
• Actionable feedback to keep your story moving
• A flexible outline that evolves as your story takes shape
• A writing routine that works with your real life… not against it!

Price: $1,500 for a three-month commitment to build trust and traction
Add-on months: $500 (includes two deadlines + full feedback + coaching calls). 
Discount: $200 when purchased after completing another coaching package

Most writers opt for two deadlines per month, but we’ll tailor the pace to fit your goals, your writing flow, and your busy schedule. 

If you’re a research-minded writer used to tackling complex projects (just not this kind), this is where we step back to look at the story with fresh eyes.

This service is for fiction writers — especially in mystery and suspense — with a complete draft ready for professional, comprehensive feedback. I’ll evaluate what’s working, what’s not quite landing, and which revisions will have the most impact. Regardless of having worked together before or if this is our first collaboration, I bring a fresh, thoughtful perspective grounded in deep respect for the story you want to tell.

This is for you if: 

• You’ve finished a draft but you’re unsure how to tackle revisions
• You’ve been submitting to agents or editors but not getting any bites
• You know something’s “off” but you can’t quite put your finger on what

You’ll submit: 

• A one-page “mini-blueprint” summary of your novel
• Your full manuscript (up to 80k words; +$100 per additional 5k words)

You‘ll receive: 

• A full manuscript review
• In-line comments on the first 20 pages focused on voice, tone, pacing, and character grounding
• A detailed editorial letter outlining strengths, challenges, and revision priorities
• A 60-minute recorded coaching call to review feedback, ask questions, and map out your next steps
• A custom revision plan that fits your goals, writing style, and schedule

Price: $1,300

Whether you’re just a few chapters in to your mystery or suspense novel, or sitting on a full draft that needs a second opinion, this package offers insight into how your story’s opening is landing… and what needs attention to keep readers turning pages. 

You’ll submit:

• A one-page “mini-blueprint” summary of your novel
• The first 50 pages (up to 12.5K words)

You’ll receive: 

• In-line comments on the pages, focused on craft, clarity, and reader engagement
