This three-month package* includes six deadlines, spaced roughly two weeks apart. For each one, I’ll send you in-line comments and an editorial letter. We’ll discuss via a Zoom call.
The three months will break down this way:
Six weeks for fundamentals, designing your book's structure and clarifying key moments that will bring your story to life.
Four weeks for refining your work’s foundation to ensure it's as firm as possible.
Two weeks for drafting a first chapter, or revising it if you already have one.
*Note: you must complete this package in a six-month period.
