“Don’t share your goals and dreams with just anyone. This includes family, friends, and
acquaintances, who, even though they're usually well-intentioned, will have their own opinions
about what you should and shouldn’t do, AND, how long it should take. Instead, work with
someone who has the expertise and skill to effectively guide and support you on your journey.”


Let’s Talk It Through Consultation

Picture
Most people get excited when they think about sharing what they have to offer, whether it’s a book, a Kindle Vella, a script, web content, speaking, or whatever. The challenge is looking at what you’re thinking about doing and figuring out if it’s a worthwhile investment of your time and energy. This is where I come in. We’ll talk your idea through (up to 1.5 hours) and come up with between 1 to 3 next steps.

$0.00 (Yup… this is a free 1.5 hour consultation—plus the recording—because you sharing your brilliance is meaningful and important, and I’m here to support you and your goal.)

Project Development

Picture
Many people use this program to create a working outline for their non-fiction book, but it can be used to outline a variety of content projects. This program includes weekly 1-hour calls during which we’ll talk about your progress in terms of what works, what still needs work, and what your homework for the next week will be. It’s for you if you’re ready to start taking steps towards turning your project and or goal into a reality. It’s where and how you’ll begin building the momentum needed to see your project through to completion.

Planning for Success

Picture
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from all the wonderful people I’ve worked with, it’s that sometimes it’s hard to get a clear picture of what the end result of your goal looks like. The problem is, without that picture, it’s very hard to be confident that you’re going in the right direction. These two program option packages will help you:

  • Figure out what success looks like, feels like, and means to you.
  • Come up with an ongoing strategy for staying motivated, inspired, and excited while you’re working toward achieving your goal.

2-Week Success Quick Start = $275 – Includes two 1-hour calls, call recordings, call recap emails, and between-the-meetings text support.
1-Month Getting into the Success Groove = $500 – Includes four 1-hour calls, call recordings, recap emails, and between-the-meetings text support.
2 – 6-month options are available.



Let’s Gossip About Your Characters!

Picture
This fiction-authors package is about making sure your characters come to life in all the right ways! Consider me your forensic character development specialist. During this 1-hour conversation, we’ll “gossip” about one of your characters in depth to clarify who they were in their past, who they are in the present, and who you need them to become. By the end of our conversation, this character will practically be able to take on a life of their own—which great characters often do. This conversation will help you:

  • Clarify a character arc that will engage your readers.
  • Craft believable backstories that supply motivation for why your characters would or wouldn’t do something.
  • Develop the kinds of distinguishing characteristics that create memorable, lovable, and sometimes hate-able characters.
  • Make sure all the elements needed to build and/or destroy a relationship are there.
  • Come up with compelling ways to “stress out” your lead character(s) so they advance through their arc.

1 Character = $150 – 1 hour recorded conversation dedicated to one character.
2 Characters = $275 – Two 1 hour recorded conversations dedicated to two characters.



My Guarantee

   There’s nothing worse than signing up for something, paying for it, realizing it isn’t for you, and not
being able to get your money back. I’ve been there and done that too many times, which means
I’m going to give you the kind of guarantee I’d appreciate.  

  If, after our first paid meeting you feel like this isn’t a good fit for you, regardless of the reason,
you have up to our next scheduled meeting to let me know, and I’ll refund the full amount.
You’ll still have what we worked on in our first call, and the call recording for future reference. 


Something to know about my style....

I don’t do hard-line accountability. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to “remind” you of why you’re doing
this work, or that I won’t be encouraging you and supporting you and your efforts. I absolutely will.
I’m on your team, and my priorities are securely focused on you reaching your goal.

But, if you’re looking for someone to “call you out” when you aren’t on track, I might not be a good fit for you.
Don’t misunderstand, I definitely have ways for helping you stay motivated, inspired, and on track. They just
don’t include making you feel bad, shaming you, blaming you, or guilting you into taking action.

If I you have any questions or want more information about anything above, you can reach me here.
