Monthly Book Coaching
Three months of personalized support
$2100 (billed $700 monthly)
Working individually with a book coach is like having a private tutor. The process is designed to get you the results you want much more quickly than if you were toiling away by yourself. Whether it’s planning, writing, or revising, we’ll work together to set realistic goals and then I’ll hold you accountable for getting them done, providing you with expert advice and generative feedback every step of the way.
Monthly book coaching is a three-month commitment with the option of adding months, as desired.
The three-month coaching package includes the following:
An initial 30-minute call to discuss your writing goals, including feedback on Author Accelerator’s Mini Blueprint for a Novel
Six bi-weekly writing deadlines (up to 20 pages/5,000 words)
High-level feedback on your pages, plus a multi-page editorial letter summarizing my feedback and actionable next steps
Six 60-minute video coaching calls (one after every writing deadline)
Access to The Teachers’ Lounge (Google Classroom), my online community for current coaching clients
Response to emailed questions within 24 hours (business days)
After three months, you will have 120 pages/30,000 words drafted and/or revised.
Haven’t started a novel yet, but you have the idea for one? I can help! This package can be customized specifically for novel planning using Author Accelerator’s Blueprint for a Novel. After three months, you’ll have a solid plan for writing and even some first pages written!
Manuscript Evaluation
Feedback on your completed draft
$1300 (up to 80K words)
Have a completed manuscript, but you’re not sure what to do next? Can you tell there’s a problem with the story, but you’re not sure how to fix it? Even if you think your manuscript is ready, getting expert eyes on it is beneficial (if not, essential) before pitching agents or self-publishing.
The manuscript evaluation is designed to be completed in a month and includes the following:
An initial 30-minute call to discuss your story and publishing goals, including feedback on Author Accelerator’s Mini Blueprint for a Novel
In-line feedback on the first 20 pages of your novel
Multi-page editorial letter that provides comprehensive feedback over the entire manuscript, including strengths, weaknesses, and prioritized next steps (additional $150 per 5,000 words beyond 80K words)
One 60-minute video coaching call to discuss feedback
Access to The Teachers’ Lounge (Google Classroom), my online community for current coaching clients
Response to emailed questions within 24 hours (business days)
After receiving a manuscript evaluation, you will have clear steps for getting your manuscript pitch or publication-ready.
Please note: if a pitch package is purchased after a manuscript evaluation, $200 is discounted from the pitch package.
Pitch Package
Get your materials in order so you can pitch agents with confidence
$1200
Have a manuscript you feel confident in that you’re ready to pitch to agents? You only get one shot at pitching an agent, so ensuring both your novel and pitch materials are solid is essential. The hard part is, pitch materials (query letter and synopsis) are a very different type of writing that many authors struggle with. That’s where having a book coach can help. Make sure the novel you worked so hard on is pitched with poise and professionalism.
The pitch package is designed to be completed in up to two months and includes the following:
An initial 30-minute call to discuss your publishing goals
In-line feedback on the first 20 pages of your novel and Author Accelerator’s Mini Blueprint for a Novel (please note the full manuscript is not evaluated)
In-line feedback on the query and synopsis, as well as a multi-page editorial letter summarizing the feedback and pitch strategy
One 60-minute coaching call to discuss feedback and pitch strategy
Up to three rounds of additional written feedback on query and synopsis after initial feedback
Access to The Teachers’ Lounge (Google Classroom), my online community for current coaching clients
Response to emailed questions within 24 hours (business days)
After completing the pitch package, you will have a solid query letter, synopsis, and confidence that your novel’s first 20 pages are as strong as they can be, as well as a strategy for both finding and pitching agents.
Please note: if a manuscript evaluation is purchased first, $200 is discounted from the pitch package.
The Mini Blueprint Strategy Session
A professional gut-check for your creative vision that shows you what’s working, what’s next, and why your book is absolutely worth finishing.
$350
$299
Black Friday Book Coaching Special
The Mini Blueprint is your chance to step back and see your book with fresh eyes. In one powerful page, this guided questionnaire helps you get clear on what your book is really about, why it matters, and where it’s headed.
Most writers rush into writing without pausing to think through the big picture—and the Mini Blueprint changes that. You’ll answer a handful of questions that spark reflection, focus your ideas, and bring your “why” to the surface.
The mini blueprint strategy session is designed to be completed in two weeks and includes the following:
High-level feedback on your first 12 pages/3,000 words, including feedback on Author Accelerator’s Mini Blueprint for a Novel
A 2-3 page editorial letter summarizing my feedback and actionable next steps
One 50-minute video coaching call to unpack your ideas, identify what’s working (and what’s not), and shape a concrete plan to move your project forward with purpose and momentum.
After completing the mini blueprint strategy session, you will have actionable next steps for continuing to write and revise your novel.
