Coaching
Help where you need it, when you need it.
If your schedule doesn’t permit participation in webinars or workshops, if books are helpful but not helpful enough, when your needs don’t fall within the usual parameters, or when you require white-glove treatment or concentrated help on a difficult project. We can also take you individually through any of our programs or workshops at your convenience. By appointment: phone, Skype, in person, online.
Book Editing & Analysis
Finish, polish, pitch, for qualified applicants. Manuscripts > 80,000 words may incur additional charges.

Today’s agents and publishers don’t have time for anything but heat ‘n’ serve, and you’ve lost all sense of what’s not working. For manuscripts that “still need work.”

- Options/Recommendations
- Blueprint for vital revisions
Final Polish
Turnkey solution for energizing and finishing manuscripts that are at or near Final Draft stage. Because even a “finished” manuscript may still lack the final polish necessary to get the best (or any) deal.

- Rewrite/restructure as needed, in consultation with author
