The Experience

Process

Embarking on a writing project can feel overwhelming, but with guidance and clear milestones, the path becomes manageable and rewarding. Here’s a roadmap of how I work with clients, from early ideas to the final, polished draft.

 

  • We begin with a thorough discussion about your vision, goals, and expectations for the project. I’ll listen carefully to understand your needs and tailor a plan that aligns with your objectives. During this stage, we’ll also discuss any preliminary materials you’ve prepared, like drafts, outlines, or notes, to establish a solid foundation.

  • Once we’ve mapped out your vision, we’ll outline a clear plan for the project. This includes milestone setting, defining the scope of the work, and creating a timeline with achievable deadlines. For book coaching clients, this phase often involves crafting a chapter-by-chapter outline with word count targets to guide your writing process.

  • As your manuscript begins to take shape, I’ll collaborate with you closely to refine the value proposition, structure, clarity, consistency, and core themes. This phase includes feedback and actionable suggestions to ensure your work stays focused and impactful. For book coaching, ongoing Zoom sessions and email correspondence will keep our process dynamic and adaptive.

  • By the end of our collaboration, you’ll have a manuscript that’s ready for the next stage of the editorial or publishing process. For developmental editing and book coaching clients, I’ll also provide insights into go-to-market strategies to help you prepare for the next phase of your publishing journey.

    Each project is unique, and this roadmap serves as a flexible guide to navigate your writing journey. From concept to completion, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
