Book Coaching and Manuscript Development
Do you have an idea, outline, or partial manuscript and need help completing your first draft? Then you might be the perfect candidate for my book coaching services.
I will collaborate with you until you reach your writing goal. Along the way, I will provide continuous feedback, support, and guidance; editorial, marketplace, and industry insights; and keep you on track and accountable. This is a unique opportunity to partner with an expert book coach throughout your writing and revision process.
If you're starting from scratch, we will begin by crystallizing your idea, theme, audience, and hook, then move to the outline stage. Then I will provide guidance and feedback as we create a full rough draft chapter by chapter.
Price is dependent on the scope of the project.
Contact me for hourly or
flat-rate pricing.

Dialogue Feedback
Writing dialogue that sounds natural and unique to your characters is essential to engage readers.
If you need help honing dialogue, this service is for you.
You will choose a scene (or several), and I will edit the dialogue, line by line.
I will also provide general feedback on elevating dialogue.
You can then use my specific edits, along with the essential dos and don'ts of writing dialogue, and apply that knowledge to the rest of your manuscript.
Price: $125 for 5 pages of dialogue
