Story Structure & Outline Deep Dive Package

Whether you're outlining your first novel or refining your tenth, a strong story begins long before the final draft.

This intensive editorial package is designed for authors who want expert guidance before investing months revising a manuscript or writing an entire novel.

Together, we'll evaluate the foundation of your story, identify what's working, uncover potential weaknesses, and create a clear roadmap for strengthening your novel before.

Annotated Manuscript & Outline

I'll provide comments directly within your outline, synopsis, and manuscript pages, highlighting strengths, asking questions, and offering suggestions where additional development may improve the story.

60-Minute Strategy Session

After you've had time to review your editorial, we'll meet for a private one-hour consultation to discuss the feedback, answer questions, brainstorm solutions, and develop a practical revision plan tailored to your project.

You'll leave knowing exactly what to tackle first and how to move your story forward with confidence.
