You’ve Written a Draft – Now Let’s Make it Stronger
You’ve put in the work to complete a manuscript or even a few—that’s huge! But now you’re facing the challenge of turning them into something truly polished and engaging, and getting your writing voice and style stronger. Maybe you’re wondering:
- Does my story flow well, or does it drag?
- Are my characters developed enough?
- How do I fix weak dialogue, pacing issues, or flat writing?
- Am I showing or telling?
This program is designed to take your draft to the next level, combining deep developmental editing, line editing, and personalised coaching to refine your story and strengthen your craft.

How It Works :
1️⃣ Discovery Call – We’ll discuss your manuscript, challenges, and goals. Together, we’ll determine if Level 2 is the right fit and set expectations for our work ahead.
2️⃣ First Strategy Session – In our first 75-minute coaching call, we’ll establish clear objectives for the next 3 months, prioritise focus areas, and create a customised editing & revision plan tailored to your manuscript’s needs.
3️⃣ Editorial Assessment – I’ll analyse structure, character arcs, pacing, and prose to identify key areas for improvement.
4️⃣ Developmental & Line Editing – A mix of scene-by-scene analysis & refinement (both during calls and off-screen). You’ll get deep feedback on plot, structure, pacing, and character development, plus line editing to enhance clarity and engagement.
5️⃣ Weekly 75-Minute Coaching Calls – Each week, we’ll work through specific scenes and challenges in live coaching & editing sessions, ensuring you have hands-on guidance while implementing revisions.
6️⃣ Check-Ins & Progress Reviews – Every few weeks, we’ll assess your progress, adjust strategies as needed, and ensure you’re on track to create a stronger, more polished manuscript.
7️⃣ Final Editorial Review & Writing Roadmap – By the end of Level 2, you’ll have a revised, significantly stronger manuscript and a detailed roadmap for your next steps, whether that’s refining further or preparing for publication.
8️⃣ Next Steps: Grow to Level 3 (Optional) – If you're ready to finalise your manuscript and prepare for publication, you can transition smoothly into Level 3: The Ready-for-Publication Path. I’ll guide you on how we can refine your book even further and get it ready for submission or self-publishing.
By the end of 3 months, you’ll have:
✔️ A stronger, more polished manuscript(s)
✔️ Characters and plot that captivate readers
✔️ A deeper understanding of storytelling techniques
