Have a great idea for a novel but aren’t sure how to get started? Wondering if your story concept will interest readers and publishers? Or maybe you’ve already made headway, but you’re unsure if you’re headed in the right direction?
You can go it alone and waste time on trial and error, or you can work smarter and faster by mapping out a path to success with me and my years of experience helping authors make their stories the best they can be.
This workshop is open to writers of historical fiction, romance, mystery, and fantasy.
In this one-on-one consultation, you’ll receive personalized guidance on:
• Concept, audience, and market strategy
• Paths to publication
• Story structure and point of view
• Genre trends and tropes
• Characters and subplots
• The inciting incident or story catalyst
• Introducing your story world
• Establishing the tone of your novel
• Creating a bond between the reader and your protagonist(s)
• Your first pages: If you have your first two pages written, we’ll workshop them. If you don’t, we’ll outline them.

My clients range from traditionally published New York Times bestselling authors, indie authors making a living from their books, new writers just starting out, and everyone in between. I’ve helped hundreds of authors write better books, and I can help you too!
What to expect:
Fifty percent of my fee is due when you book and is non-refundable, but you may reschedule your workshop for a later date if necessary. The balance is due 72 hours before your scheduled workshop.
After booking, you’ll receive a questionnaire to fill out and return to me before our session.
Our session will last approximately 2-2.5 hours.
You’ll leave the session energized with a plan to get started and move forward with confidence.
