Outline Development
$499 base + $65/hour
This service is for those who have an idea for an amazing book, but don't really know where to start. In these instances, an outline could be helpful in getting you on the right track. Admittedly, outlines are not for everyone, so here are a few ways you can know if it is a beneficial tool for your book-writing journey:
-
you have a tendency to ramble when you write
-
you have an idea of what you want to say, but you can't figure out how and when to say it
-
organizing your thoughts is a mental chore
-
you work best when you can plan or map things out first
If, on the other hand, you prefer a more spontaneous, free-flowing approach to your writing, an outline might not be your favorite thing in the world. Of course, I still suggest you create one to organize your key topics, but hey, do you!
With this service, we will meet for one-hour weekly or biweekly sessions (you choose quantity and frequency) and work together via phone/video chat to develop a comprehensive outline. From the introduction to the conclusion, I will guide you step-by-step through the process, helping you get your thoughts and ideas onto the page in a way that makes for a well-rounded, complete book. Once you're satisfied with your outline, you'll be ready to fill in the gaps and write your first draft!
