Novelist Mentorship is structured, one-on-one guidance for writers who are serious about finishing and strengthening their novel. You receive clear direction, honest feedback, and practical next steps at every stage of the process. This is not vague encouragement. It is disciplined support designed to help you complete a manuscript that works.

Private Manuscript Strategy Session

You have written several chapters and need clarity on what is working and what is not. This private session gives you focused, professional insight without committing to a full program.

Submit up to three chapters, not exceeding 6,000 words, along with one specific question or concern about your manuscript. I review your material in advance and meet with you for a 30-minute Zoom session to discuss structure, character strength, pacing, and narrative direction.

This is not line editing or casual encouragement. It is strategic feedback designed to help you understand where your manuscript stands and what your next move should be.

You leave the session with clear direction and a defined path forward.

8-Week Novel Completion Intensive

You have a manuscript that needs direction, discipline, and forward momentum. This program is built to move you from unfinished draft to completed manuscript with structure and accountability.

Over eight focused weeks, we work through your novel step by step. Each session is strategic and outcome-driven. We clarify your core premise, repair structural weaknesses, strengthen character arcs, escalate stakes, and build a practical roadmap to completion. You leave every week with defined targets and measurable progress.

This is not casual feedback or open-ended coaching. It is a structured process designed to help serious writers finish what they started.

By the end of the program, you will have:

• A completed or near-completed draft
• A coherent structural foundation
• Clear next steps for revision or submission
• A disciplined process you can use for future projects

This program is for writers who are committed to finishing their book and willing to do the work required to get there.

Manuscript Blueprint Diagnostic

You have started your novel, but you are not sure if it is structurally sound or strong enough to carry through to the end.

The Novel Blueprint Diagnostic is a focused structural review of your manuscript. Instead of line edits or surface comments, you receive a clear plan that shows you what is working, what needs correction, and how to move forward with purpose.

You submit your first 30 to 50 pages along with a short summary of the full story. I evaluate structure, character development, stakes, pacing, and narrative direction. You receive a detailed written report that outlines the key issues and provides a practical roadmap to help you complete your novel with clarity.

• Optional 30-minute Zoom debrief

This is for serious writers who want honest analysis and a defined path to finishing their book.
