Revision
Roadmap

You know something isn't working.

You just can't get far enough outside your own outline to see what.

For four weeks, I read your outline the way I'd read a manuscript for a Manuscript Diagnostic — looking for what's not landing, where the structure quietly gives out, and what your story keeps promising that it isn't paying off. I mark it up in detail, right on the page. Then we get on a call and work through it together.

This isn't a full manuscript edit, and it isn't an accountability check-in. It's a compressed, high-contact revision-planning process for writers who already have an outline — even a messy one — and want structural clarity before they spend another six months revising the wrong scenes.

Revision Roadmap at a glance

Cadence: weekly for 4 weeks

Includes: review of your book outline with inline notes and a 50-min brainstorming/problem-solving call each week

Investment: $2000

Best for: revising novelists

How it works

  • Monday — You send me your current outline, however "as-is" it really is.

  • Tuesday — I read it closely and leave inline comments directly in the document, flagging every place the structure isn't holding.

  • Wednesday or Thursday — We meet for 50 minutes. This isn't a status update; it's where we actually work through what I found and solve it together.

  • The rest of the week — You revise before the next round starts.

Four rounds. Four weeks. By the end, you'll have a sharpened, workable outline you trust enough to revise from on your own — built collaboratively, tested weekly, shaped around what your story actually needs.

What’s included

  • Revision Roadmap is 1:1 — never group — and runs three times a year, in a small number of spots per window, so I can give each novel real attention and keep the weekly calls sustainable:

    • Winter — mid-January to mid-February

    • Spring/Summer — June

    • Fall — October

Investment: $2000

Revision Roadmap Is Ideal For Writers Who:

  • You have a complete draft — even a rough one — with or without an outline (yet)

  • You know something in the structure isn't working, but can't quite isolate what

  • You want real diagnostic pressure applied to your plan, not encouragement toward a finish line

  • You can work fast and revise between sessions

Not Ideal If:

  • You're starting from a blank page with no draft or outline yet

  • You're looking for line-level prose editing

  • You want open-ended, ongoing support rather than a contained sprint


Ready to go deeper with your story? Apply for Revision Roadmap.

The application takes a few minutes. Tell me where your manuscript stands and what you think isn't working yet — if it's not the right fit, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better.

Not sure where to start?

If none of these quite fit — but you still think we should work together — tell me where you're at and what you're working on. Let's figure out together whether there's a way I can help.
