Query & Synopsis Package
Looking for a fresh pair of eyes for your query and/or synopsis?
$39: I will read your query letter and suggest changes and edits for structure, plot, pacing, and the overall strength of your query
$59: I will read your query letter AND synopsis (up to 2 pages single-spaced) and offer feedback from a reader and editor's perspective without having read your manuscript.
Chapter(s) Package
Getting the first one to three chapters right is essential if you want more full manuscript requests from agents.
$99: I will offer feedback on up to 10 pages (Times New Roman, double-spaced) of your first chapter, focusing on plot, pacing, character arcs, setting, voice, and the overall strength of your pages.
$189: I will offer feedback on up to 35 pages (Times New Roman, double-spaced) of your first 3 chapters, focusing on plot, pacing, character arcs, setting, voice, and the overall strength of your chapters.
Manuscript Critique / Developmental Editing
If you're eager to take your writing to the next level and need my editorial eyes on an early draft, look no further. This full manuscript critique/developmental editing package comes with in-line comments in the margins with my real-time thoughts, a 4-5 page editorial report, and a 45-min Zoom call to brainstorm a revision plan for your manuscript. This package is priced at $0.01 per word. (for example, a developmental edit of an 80,000-word novel would be priced at $800)
1:1 Author Coaching
Fiction authors, rejoice! If you're struggling to get to "The End" on your first draft, or stuck trying to figure out how to make your revisions work, I have a 1:1 author coaching package ($700 per month, minimum 3-month contract) where I will guide you through writing, revising, and querying your manuscript, all while building an empowering, rejection-proof author mindset.
Let's take you from a blank page to a book deal.
Every month, you get...
- Hands-on editorial support with your fiction manuscript depending on where you're at in your publishing journey
- Plotting and outlining help if you're drafting
- Developmental & line editing if you're revising
- Creating a solid querying strategy if you're ready to sign with an agent
- TWO 45-min Zoom calls for brainstorming & mindset support
- Unlimited text messaging access, aka having an author coach in your pocket
