Whether you’re pulling an old, unfinished draft out of the drawer for the first time in years, you’ve hit a wall in your current work in progress, or you’ve got a complete first draft but aren’t quite ready to commit to a full manuscript critique, a Creative Kickstart can help you identify what’s working and what’s not, unlock your creative blocks, and plan out your next steps in writing and revising.

In these partial manuscript critiques, I’ll address some or all of the following areas, based on your draft’s individual needs:

• Plot

• Character Development

• Voice/Point of View

• Conflict/Tension

• Setting

• Pacing/Structure

• Mechanics

You submit:

• A synopsis or outline, if you have them.

• The first thirty pages of your manuscript.

And you get:

• A thirty-minute kickoff call to discuss your manuscript, your goals, and any specific questions you have.

• A three- to five-page editorial letter outlining the strengths and development opportunities in your first thirty pages and posing questions designed to support further manuscript development.

• A thirty-minute followup call to review and answer any questions you have.

• 10 percent off a critique of the full manuscript within one year.

Once you purchase your Creative Kickstart, I will email you within one business day to schedule our kickoff call.
