Not sure if coaching is for you?

Start small with a 15-minute curiosity call, or a first chapter review.

What is a curiosity call?

It is a chance for you to meet me and learn more about what coaching is, how it works, and how it can help you.

  • A curiosity call is free

  • It is short - just 15 minutes!

  • There is no commitment that we will work together

  • The purpose of the call is to get to know each other. It does not include any review or diagnosis of your work.

To book a curiosity call, you will first complete a short questionnaire, so I can learn more about you and your work. I will follow up with instructions to schedule our call.

I can’t wait to meet you!

What is a first chapter review?

It is a smaller coaching package that can be an excellent fit for you if:

  • You aren’t sure yet that you want to commit to coaching

  • OR, You feel pretty good about the manuscript as a whole, but want professional feedback on your all-important first chapter before you begin submitting to agents.

The first chapter review includes:

  • Comments on the first chapter of your manuscript (up to 20 pages of standard manuscript formatting)

  • A one-page editorial letter summarizing my feedback on the first chapter, including suggestions for next steps

  • A 30-minute video call to discuss my feedback and suggested next steps.

Cost: $150

Please note that this is a developmental review and will focus on story-level issues such as plot, character, emotion, and pacing. I am not trained as a line or copy editor and do not offer those services.
