Complimentary Consult

Onboarding

Getting Started

Before we start working together, you'll fill out an inquiry form letting me know you're interested.

Next, we'll set up a consult call, where we'll discuss the vision of your novel, your goals, and address any questions you might have.

If we decide we're good fit, we move forward!

Now that you've decided to move forward, I'll send the welcome packet your way.

This includes your welcome to the Ladner Editorial fam, what to expect from the coaching process, access to your Author Portal, your planning and drafting workbooks, our paperwork, and your first invoice.


Once you agree to the terms of our agreement and pay your first invoice, it's time to make some magic!

We'll start with our kickoff call, set up our meeting calendar, and get to work planning and drafting your novel!
