Clarity in the Shadows Mini-Blueprint

Your story’s not lost. It’s just waiting to be mapped. 

Whether you’re stuck in the murky middle or piecing together clues from your latest draft, every mystery needs a map. Before pressing ahead, take a step back and get a clear, bird’s-eye view of your story—one that helps you see both the forest and the twisting trail through the trees.

This package is a one-on-one strategy session centered on the Mini-Blueprint Story Map, a powerful tool based on Jenni Nash’s Blueprint for a Book method. It will help you define your story goal, sharpen your main character’s motivations, and move forward with direction and confidence.

What is the Mini-Blueprint? 

The Mini-Blueprint Story Map blends story analysis with strategic coaching to help you reconnect with your story’s heart and chart your next steps forward.

In my past life as a grant writer and research administrator, I specialized in turning complex information into clear, persuasive narratives that inspired confidence and action (ideally = grant dollars!). Now I help fiction writers do the same: clear through the noise to identify what matters most, and rebuild the spine of the story with purpose and precision.

What you’ll get:

• Mini-Blueprint Story Map: A big-picture analysis of your one-page story summary that highlights your story’s core question and emotional heartbeat.
• Scene-Level Feedback: An editorial review of your first 3,000 words with in-line comments to strengthen tension and pacing.
• Strategy Session: A 50-minute recorded call to discuss your vision for your story, pinpoint what’s working, and identify targeted next steps to move forward with focus and momentum.

This is for you if:

• You’re writing (or revising) a mystery, suspense, or thriller and worry your plot’s gone off course.
• You crave clear, strategic feedback, not vague advice.
• You want a coach who understands structure and deadlines (and self-doubt!).

How it works:

• Purchase the package and receive your onboarding link.
• Complete the Mini-Blueprint Story Map.
• Upload your opening 3,000 words.
• I’ll review your pages and prepare feedback before our call.
• Meet for a focused 50-minute strategy session with clear next steps to move forward.
