Step 1: Plan Your Book
This coaching package involves us working together one-on-one to create and review a book plan you will turn in to me over the course of four deadlines. The plan will be completed in a form I will provide to you. I will provide inline comments regarding the strengths and weaknesses of your story plan after each deadline. We will have an intake call before you begin the process, a half-hour coaching call after deadlines 1, 2, and 3, and a one-hour coaching call after deadline 4 to wrap up the process.
Pricing: $1,250
