About the "Plan Your Novel Course": "This course helped me get out of my writing rut. I am not one to outline or get to know my characters before writing. By taking this course I learned that plotting and characterization can be fun. Now I find writing to be fun again. Thanks."
-- Kay LaLone, YA Paranormal Mystery Author


Because time frames are useful to take action, just a reminder that this special promotion ends April 30, 2019, 9 pm Pacific.

FAQ
Q: What kind of feedback will I get in the manuscript review?

A: On your 5 manuscript pages, I will give you written feedback relevant to your needs. That means I can comment on things like character, story, pacing, sentence structure, flow, and tension. I'll check with you on what you'd like and tailor my comments to your request.

When we get on the call together, we can talk about the feedback, your book, and anything else you'd like to chat about.
