Does your work need fine-tuning—or major retooling?

Are you aching to send your manuscript to a publisher or agent, but first want to make absolutely sure it’s ready?

Let me help you.

I will start with 30 pages of your manuscript, and read it closely several times.

Then I will spend an hour with you to go over your work in detail, paragraph by paragraph, line by line, sometimes word by word. (If you are in Los Angeles, we can meet in person. Otherwise we can have our conversation over the phone.)

Our coaching session will help you improve your:

• Story structure, plot, pacing
• Characters, relationships, dialogue
• Language, narrative voice, point of view
• Crucial first 10 pages
• Marketing, positioning, sales potential

I will help you look at your words through fresh eyes. I’ll show you what’s working, and what isn’t. I will help you cut through the clutter and dead ends, so you can express your story in the best possible way.

By the end of our session, you will have a clear understanding of the work your manuscript needs before it’s ready to be published.

Let’s get started!
