Coaching

For writers seeking honest and straightforward feedback on their manuscript.

I will read your manuscript and offer feedback on your story from a general reader point of view, pointing out what works and what doesn't.  I will also offer feedback on plot, pacing, and character development. You can expect a two to three page summary providing constructive feedback on the overall story as well as margin notes in the manuscript. You will also be offered a 30-minute phone call or zoom meeting to discuss my feedback and ask questions.

For writers seeking a deep dive into their manuscript and detailed, straight forward feedback.

I will read through your manuscript twice and offer feedback on structure, plot, pacing, conflict, character development and other aspects pertaining to your specific genre (for example: tension for a thriller or timing of the meet-cute for romance). I will provide an editorial assessment of at least seven pages, which will include an analysis of how and where your manuscript fits into the current publishing market.  I will provide extensive notes in the margins of your manuscript and offer a  30-minute phone call or zoom meeting within four weeks of your receipt of my feedback. 

For writers seeking help in staying on task and/or general encouragement and support for their story.

I will read your entire manuscript, or sections provided by you, and offer feedback, encouragement and guidance.  We can discuss specific issues you'd like to address or talk plot, story structure, pacing, character development, or even writer's block. We will set goals and timelines, if that is something that interests you. This service is set up to meet your goals and specific needs
