Who this is for:

If you’re drafting or revising and want a practical, coach-led hour to turn scattered notes into a workable path, this session is for you. We’ll clarify goals, pressure-test ideas, and leave you with a concise action plan you can execute right away—fiction or nonfiction.

Idea-rich, structure-light. You’ve got characters, scenes, and vibes—now you need a spine that holds it together.
Mid-draft + stuck. You’re 10–50k words in and the middle sags, threads won’t connect, or stakes feel fuzzy.
Need feedback now. You want fast, verbal input before you write more pages (or rewrite the same ones).
Revising without a plan. You have notes (beta/critique/your own), but not a prioritized roadmap.
Complex builds. Multi-POV timelines, world-building, or memoir arcs that need alignment and pacing.
Pitch clarity. You’re shaping a premise, synopsis, or back-cover blurb and need help it.
Accountability. You work best with clear tasks, milestones, and a coach checking in on progress.
Fiction or nonfiction. Novels, short stories, memoir, essays, and creative nonfiction welcome.

What's included:

If you’re drafting or revising and want a practical, coach-led hour to turn scattered notes into a workable path, this session is for you. We’ll clarify goals, pressure-test ideas, and leave you with a concise action plan you can execute right away—fiction or nonfiction.

Map Your Story: We’ll turn scattered notes into a one-page outline or simple mind-map that shows premise, POV, core question, and major beats. You’ll get the outline (Doc) and a snapshot of the map so you can keep building after the session.
Live Brainstorm: In-session whiteboarding on character goals, stakes, world rules, and plot options. Expect 2–3 concrete scene ideas, a few “what if…/then…” paths, and targeted prompts you can write from immediately.
Concrete Next Steps: A prioritized, bite-sized plan for the next 1–2 weeks: what to draft or revise first, word-count or milestone targets, and a short checklist (e.g., “Draft Inciting Incident,” “Revise synopsis paragraph 2,” “Test alt-POV in Ch. 3”).
Roadblock Triage: Practical tools to get unstuck—scene-purpose check, cause→effect chains, pacing map, and a quick stakes audit. You’ll leave with 2–3 exercises tailored to your specific hurdle (plot gap, flat tension, motivation issues).
After the Call: PDF Session Summary Delivered within 24 hours. Includes:
- Key decisions & takeaways
- Outline/mind-map snapshot
- Action checklist with priorities
- Writing prompts/examples we generated

Not Sure Where to Start?

A free, no-pressure 15-minute chat to review your project, where you’re stuck, and your timeline. We’ll look at genre, word count, stage, and goals. Then I’ll ask a few focused questions to pinpoint what will help most. From there, I’ll recommend the right path: Coaching, Copy Edit, or Developmental Edit.
