Story Plan Intesive
Create a Rock Solid Outline for Your Book in Less than 4 Weeks
Story Plan is a focused four-week intensive that gives you a clear, step-by-step system for planning your novel with confidence. Instead of guessing your way through scattered ideas and hoping they turn into a workable book, you’ll learn exactly which decisions to make, in what order to make them, and why each one matters—so you can build your story on a proven foundation. This is the same framework I use with first-time novelists, multi-published authors, and private coaching clients who invest four figures a month, and now you can use it to create a stronger, clearer plan for your book.
First Draft
Craft Training, Coaching, and Community
First Draft is a high-support coaching program designed to help you finish your manuscript with more focus, momentum, and confidence. Instead of stalling out halfway through, getting lost in endless revisions, or trying to figure everything out on your own, you’ll follow a clear process that helps you stay on track, build scene-by-scene writing skills, and keep moving toward “The End.” Along the way, you’ll get accountability, live coaching, craft training, and a supportive writing community—all built to help you complete a first draft that reads stronger than a typical first draft and is actually fun to write.
