Coaching and Development


Writer's block, brain fart, "that f*#%ing book" -- whatever you call it, it can derail any writing project. My book coaching service will help clear away the barriers, develop and structure your thoughts, and improve your writing so you can finish that first draft.

Whether it's a brainstorming session on Skype or a structured plan designed specifically for your project, I can help hone your skills and get you back on track.
Help! I need to finish this book!

Coaching Packages

Level 1: Thought to Page
From $499

You have an idea and some notes, but you're losing the fight against the blank page. This package will help organize your thoughts, develop the key characters and plot lines (or structure your non-fiction essay), and get you motivated to start your first draft. As the project progresses, we'll look at any bad habits you may have as an author to help improve your writing from the ground up.
 
It includes three phone or Skype calls (up to an hour each) to brainstorm and work through problems, ongoing email support, plus a range of effective exercises designed to pull the ideas out of your head and get them onto the page in a clear and workable way. When we're done, you will have a road map to writing your manuscript and the tools to blow through any problems that slow you down. Oh, and you'll get a swift kick in the butt to get you moving.

Level 2: Keep on Truckin'!
From $799

You had all the best intentions when you started your writing project, but somewhere along the line it stalled. Maybe you hit a wall with how to conclude the plot, or became overwhelmed by your pile of notes. 

This package will get you back on track by helping to pinpoint the areas giving you grief, provide tools to organize your notes and structure your plans for the manuscript, and motivate you to finally finish that first draft. It includes an editorial evaluation of the work you have so far, three phone consultations, tools and exercises to tackle any problem, and ongoing email support.


Á la Carte Coaching

Phone or Skype Consultation - $60 / hour. We'll connect to talk about your book and work though whatever problem is standing in your way. 

Email Support - $50 / hour. Sometimes you just need someone to read over what you've written to tell you if it works. It's not quite time to talk by phone and you're not ready for a full review, so shoot me an email with whatever's on your mind. 

Editorial Evaluation - Please see here for more details.

Drunken Brainstorm - $100.  That's right, a drunken brainstorm. We'll each grab some drinks, gas up Skype, and work ourselves into a tizzy about your manuscript. Scoff if you will, but there's nothing better than getting a bit tipsy and letting yourself get excited about your novel. Take all the time you need -- we'll brainstorm the night away about your plot, backstory, characters, and any other crazy ideas that need to be explored to get you jazzed up and ready to write.
