🛣️ The Writing Roadmap: Build Your Book with Warm but Seasoned Guidance

A 4-Week Guided Program to Help You Build Your Book with Structure, Momentum, and Support

You have a book in you—but getting it out of your head and onto the page can feel overwhelming.

Maybe you’re struggling with structure, unsure what belongs in the story, or you keep writing in circles without moving forward.

Maybe you just need someone skilled, kind, and experienced to walk alongside you as you shape the work.

The Writing Roadmap is a 4-week coaching and development program that helps you write your book while discovering its emotional core, story arc, and structure—one step at a time.

This isn’t a course. It isn’t a critique dumped on you all at once.
It’s a guided, collaborative process that builds your book as you write it.

Who This Is For

The Writing Roadmap is a great fit if:

• you’re still developing your book, not just polishing it
• you need accountability, structure, and direction
• you want thoughtful guidance as you write
• you freeze when thinking about the whole book at once
• you want someone experienced to help shape your ideas
• you don’t want a giant edit at the end—you want support along the way

It works beautifully for memoir, narrative nonfiction, personal essay collections, hybrid work, and story-driven nonfiction.

What’s Included Each Week

Each week, you’ll receive:

✅ A personalized coaching email
✅ Feedback on up to 12 pages (3,000 words)
✅ Clear, targeted next steps
✅ A customized writing assignment to move you forward
✅ Structural, emotional, and developmental guidance
✅ Steady accountability and encouragement

This is hands-on support, but you are still the writer. I help you shape, focus, deepen, and organize the work.

What You’ll Have at the End of 4 Weeks

By the end of the first four weeks, you will have:

✅ 2–4 developed scenes or chapters
✅ clarity on your emotional arc and point of view
✅ a working structure or chapter map
✅ a stronger sense of voice and purpose
✅ momentum—and a way forward

This is the foundation-building phase — and it’s where most writers get stuck without help.

What This Package Does Not Include

(to avoid misunderstanding and scope creep)

🚫 line editing of full chapters
🚫 reviewing your rewrites after feedback
🚫 ghostwriting or co-writing
🚫 proofreading, formatting, or publishing prep

These services are available separately and billed at my hourly rate.

Investment

4-Week Writing Roadmap — $1,200

Payment options:

• paid in full
• monthly installments

Returning clients may reserve a space without a consultation.

If You Want to Continue After the First 4 Weeks

Many writers do—especially once the structure begins to emerge.

The next step is:

4-Week Deepening Round — $1,600

Ideal for:

• shaping the book’s structure
• strengthening the emotional and thematic throughline
• filling narrative gaps
• deepening scenes and transitions
• preparing for a full draft

This phase is more intensive, and priced accordingly.

After That

Once you’ve completed the Deepening Round, you can:

✅ continue writing independently (many do), or
✅ hire me hourly for:

  • line editing

  • review of new chapters

  • structural check-ins

  • coaching as needed

Hourly support means you only pay for the time you use.

Why This Works

After 20+ years working with writers, I know:

  • writers don’t need hand-holding—they need direction

  • structure unlocks voice

  • accountability prevents giving up

  • emotional clarity drives story clarity

  • writing in stages works better than doing it all at once

The Writing Roadmap meets you where you are — and gets you to the next stage without overwhelm.
