Author Consultations

A focused session to assess your manuscript and chart a clear path forward.

A More Personal Way to Strengthen Your Manuscript

This consultation gives you a chance to dive deep into your work with someone who understands both the craft of writing and the realities of publishing. I'll read through your material beforehand and come prepared with specific, actionable feedback tailored to your manuscript's strengths and opportunities. We'll discuss everything from narrative structure and character development to pacing and voice, ensuring you know exactly what to focus on next.

During our time together, we'll also talk about your vision for the book and any concerns you have about the writing or publishing process. This isn't about criticism; it's about collaboration and clarity. You'll leave with concrete next steps and a better understanding of how to move your manuscript forward.

Ideal For

• Writers with a completed or near-complete manuscript seeking professional feedback

• Authors preparing to query agents or submit to publishers

• Writers feeling stuck and needing fresh perspective on their work

• Anyone wanting to understand their manuscript's strengths before the next phase

How It Works

1. Preparation: Share your manuscript or sample chapters with me before our session so I can provide thoughtful, specific feedback.

2. Discussion: We meet to talk through your work, my observations, and your goals, with time for your questions and concerns.

3. Next Steps: You'll receive guidance on revisions, publishing options, or whatever comes next in your journey.
