Book Coaching

With 25+ years of military experience, let me help you make your Action characters and scenes more authentic. Contact me and tell me about your writing project.

So, you have an idea for an awesome story, you’ve toyed with writing, but you’re just not sure how to fit all the pieces together.

This is a ‘from the ground up’ editing guidance. It will include week by week consultations with the author from first idea to final draft.

Additionally, if you have a manuscript you just can’t finish this might be right for you after a receiving a diagnostic.

All of our services include the added value of two editors. Thanks to our different backgrounds, genders, interests, and experiences, we bring very different things to the table. Teamwork allows our clients reap the benefits of much more diverse input than can typically be achieved by a single editor.

What Can You Expect from Book Mentoring (also called Book Coaching)?

First, weekly calls, or however often your schedule allows.

The first call will be a discussion of the story you want to tell. Then, we’ll progress as I help you write better scenes, nail your story’s structure, and tell the global story you want to tell.

I will analyze up to 3,000 words a week (or per session). This is roughly about 3 scenes or chapters (1500 words per scene/ chapter).

How Much Does It Cost?

For our initial 30 minute phone conversation (usually conducted through Zoom) is at no charge. At this point, we are checking to see if I’m the right editor to help you complete your story.

The Weekly charge for this editing is $300/week (or $300/session if your schedule doesn’t permit weekly engagements). This includes the weekly 1 hour phone calls meant to move your story forward and help you write better. This will also include analysis of up to 3,000 words per week (or session). You will submit your writing to me 72 hours before our scheduled meeting so I can give you actionable feedback during our Zoom conversation.

If you plan on using my editing services multiple times, you can buy packages of session at discounted rates (payable in advance).
