Collaborative Outlining ⭐ $3,950

How exactly should you structure your story?

Three-act structure? Freytag’s pyramid? Hero’s journey?

What about the external action versus the emotional arc? Character transformation? Plot progression?

A well-designed story is immersive and reads effortlessly, and creates a world that a reader can fall into like a dream. When we read stories like that, we understand the structure intuitively. In my collaborative outlining process, I’ll use literary frameworks to bring what you feel in your intuition onto the page.

It’s your story, deepened and evolved.

Together, we'll create a brand new chapter-by-chapter outline for the entirety of your story. The outline will include major plot beats, emotional arcs, and key moments of character development.

This collaborative process takes place over 3-4 video calls, spaced out over 4-6 weeks. If you have any existing materials, I’ll read them, and if not, we’ll have a conversation where you talk me through the broad strokes of your narrative.

From there, I’ll draft a rough outline that captures the most important, pivotal moments of your book.

On our second call, we’ll review the outline together, and discuss how to flesh it out. This is a long, generative conversation, full of brainstorming, pitching, and problem-solving. We build out the details of your story together. After that conversation, I’ll do a deep revision on the outline, filling it in to connect the pivotal moments.

Then, we repeat the process. We review the revised outline together, then I do a final revision, creating the detailed chapter-by-chapter outline.

The outline will then act as your roadmap for your writing process. You can take the outline and dive into the writing solo, or we can team up as Writing Partners.

Writing Partner ⭐ $8,500 - $40,000

Let’s do it. Let’s write your book.

You might come to this step of the process with an entire manuscript that isn’t quite working, or no words written at all. But no matter where you are in the writing process, I’m ready to be your partner in moving this book across the finish line.

Over 4-10 months, I’ll take you from outline all the way to completed manuscript or book proposal. If you’ve already completed Collaborative Outlining with me, the outlining cost will be discounted from the project fee!

Our collaboration will vary based on your particular needs. With most of my collaborators, I write the full book, incorporating your voice from our conversations and/or prior drafts of their project. For others, I may step in and write a chapter here and there as needed, while also providing line edits as you go.

Every book is different, so every collaboration is, too. For a timeline and quote customized to your book, book a free call!

I’ll be your coach, your cheerleader, and your committed collaborator. I can’t wait to see what we’ll create.
