Coaching
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next best step for your story?
Staring at a blank page or rewriting the same scene 47 million times won't get you anywhere.
That's why I designed this one-time coaching session—to help bring clarity, confidence, and forward momentum to your writing journey.
Whether you're just getting started or find yourself tangled in a messy web of plot problems, this session is your supportive, judgment-free space to talk through your WIP with a professional fantasy book editor who understands both craft and process.
Who this is best for:
Writers in the early drafting phase.
Authors who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next
BOOK A SESSION
Writers who want professional guidance without committing to long-term coaching
Fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and speculative fiction writers who want clarity without pressure

Planning & Plotting
Making Magic
Reflection & Wrap-Up
Weeks 1-4 are all about laying the foundation for your manuscript.
Using our first few workbooks, we'll establish a strong concept, develop compelling characters, map out your story's world, and start plotting!
This planning and plotting stage is crucial for the success of the next stage: drafting your novel.
Now it's time to get to work drafting your novel!
Over the next few weeks, you'll begin implementing the careful planning we've done.
You'll write and submit your chapters, and I'll give you my personalized feedback.
We'll meet weekly to brainstorm and troubleshoot as we buckle down to make Manuscript Magic™ happen.
As we near the finish line, we'll attempt to finalize your first draft!
We'll evaluate your progress, assess the best next steps, and map out a personalized revision plan.
You'll walk away from the program with a renewed sense of clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward as you continue your quest to become a published author!
I'M READY TO MAKE MAGIC!
Mentorship
THE FAQs
While this intensive mentorship program is designed to get you from idea to finished draft in 16 weeks, completing your manuscript is never a guarantee.
Should you find yourself with an incomplete draft by the end of the program, you'll have the option to either extend our time together or devise a writing plan that's sure to boost your confidence as you move forward on your own!
- 1 hour for our live coaching call
- 1-2 hours to complete the exercises and go over any shared resources
- 5-10+ hours to write and revise
Definitely! My threshold for weekly submissions is up to 6,000 words.
If that means two or three chapters, send them my way!
That's the beauty of personalized coaching—it's tailored specifically to YOU!
While I would encourage you to stay on top of the drafting phase—and will most certainly hold you accountable—I also understand that life gets pretty hectic sometimes.
We'll work together to develop a plan that'll ensure your success in the program.
