Custom 1:1 programs to guide you step by step toward achieving your writing goals

Whether you have a few promising chapters, a finished manuscript that won’t sell, or a book that is completely written — in your head you will need to:

  • Pinpoint and address any underlying creative, technical, or structural problems that might send your book to the slush pile, where editors ignore it

  • Understand what agents and publishers want, and give it to them without sacrificing voice or vision

  • Learn the basics of pitches, proposals, outlines and synopses, and when or even if you need one

  • Know what to do even before publication to get the most mileage from your book
