Blueprint for a Book

Have a story idea, but completely lost on how to actually write the damn thing?

Feeling overwhelmed by all the moving pieces that goes into writing a full-length novel, or even a novella? Desk littered with notes on your characters and plots, but they’re not cohesive?

You need a Blueprint for your book.

What you can expect from the Blueprint:

  • Individualized support as you deep dive into understanding your story, from your main character’s motivations to how best to market it when you’re ready to publish or query!

  • A structured path forward when you’re writing your manuscript

  • Growth as a writer and a storyteller (no, they’re not the same thing, I promise)

  • Accountability to keep you showing up on the page and making real, tangible progress towards your writing goals

  • Encouragement and cheerleading through the days when writing just sucks

How it Works

  • First, let’s get to know each other! Let’s hop on a free discovery conversation to discuss your project, where you are in the process, and answer any questions you have about how coaching works. It also gives us the chance to get a feel for each other and see if we’d be a good fit to work together!

  • Next, we choose a regular coaching time slot, both sign the coaching contract, and you make the first payment. (multiple payment plan options available)

  • We do a 30 minute kick-off call where we get to know each other more, your biggest struggles, and make a plan for how you’ll tackle the Blueprint exercises each week.

  • Every two weeks, you complete and submit exercises in the Blueprint for a Book workbook. I review your work, provide in-line comments and general feedback on the exercises, and return your work for your review.

  • We have another 30 minute call at the half-way point to discuss the feedback and progress so far, and to see if we need to course correct for the second half.

  • We have a final, 60 minute coaching call after the last exercises are turned in where we discuss the blueprint as a whole, and brainstorm how best to keep your creative momentum going!

What’s Included

  • Author Accelerator’s Blueprint for a Book workbook, with in-comments and feedback on your completed workbook exercises.

  • Bi-weekly 60 minutes coaching calls where we’ll discuss the feedback on your pages, brainstorm together, and work through any blocks that have come up during your creative journey

  • Email support between sessions

  • Twice a month writing sprints with other writers - dedicated time to get words down on the page
