Need a way to get your book idea or content moving forward, potentially after video or related training from Author Accelerator? Work with me on the Streamlined Blueprint Process to find your path.
The complexities of creating a manuscript can be overwhelming. So, I'm excited to offer a streamlined version of my high-touch blueprint-based coaching to assist you as a thrice-certified Author-Accelerator book coach who's also aced UC, San Diego's copyediting certificate program. I have helped self-published authors and six publishers for 10 years with content at all stages, from book idea refinement to teaching the process of agent selection and pitching.
Are you a writer of straight nonfiction or historical fiction, or of memoir or nonfiction that includes some of your personal stories? If so, and you've already received Blueprint training and done the workbook, or I can see that some of your key story elements are in good shape, then the streamlined book idea and outline development process can give you six weeks of feedback focused on what most needs attention. Choose your genre-related option below:
For nonnarrative NF or historical fiction, you'll receive weekly feedback on written submissions of several Blueprint steps at a time, plus 1.5 hours of oral feedback over three sessions. Investment: $1,200 and six weeks.
If you're developing self-help or other NF with some of your personal stories added in, or memoir, you'll receive weekly feedback on written submissions of several Blueprint steps at a time, plus 2 hours of oral feedback over three sessions. Investment: $1,500 and six weeks.
Take the first step by contacting me at the link above. An email will follow about submitting your draft material to confirm package fit, check on your start-time availability, and arrange the 30% deposit payment (via Paypal, Venmo, or Wise) to save space on my schedule. I can't wait to help you with clear, in-your-corner feedback while unearthing the core message of your content, and starting to meld the essential elements needed for the layered, linear storytelling of a compelling book!
