Hatching Season

When the story is in the making…

So, you’re determined to realize your dream of authoring a book. You know you have a message to deliver, but the practice of writing isn’t going as smoothly as you’d hoped. Have you noticed what might be getting in the way? Perhaps you’re…

  • Wondering, “will people will actually want to read my work?”
  • Procrastinating because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid of wasting your time?
  • Feeling the writing isn’t “good enough” and looking for some insight on how to make it better?
  • Trying to write, but life keeps getting in the way?

If you need a space to dream up and write down the next chapters…

Glide into action through Hatching season.

Rediscover your creative enthusiasm by working with a true collaborator who loves your work and supplies the astute, inspiring inputs to help your story soar.

Hatching season Package

Brood and bring forth your message with A professional in the wings.

  • Get clear and motivated around the idea of your work
  • Craft an engaging story for your intended audience
  • Take advantage of immediate feedback to focus and enhance scenes as you write
  • Make progress in a measurable, sustainable way

Method for Maturation

After you decide to devote the next season (three or six months) to your creative development, the Hatching Season begins.

At the start, we’ll have an initial consultation to define your goals for our time working together. From there, we’ll repeat these three steps on a monthly basis:

  1. You’ll submit your work, which I’ll analyze with comments and feedback
  2. We’ll meet to review the analysis and discuss your questions and next steps
  3. You’ll receive a recording of the call with written guidance for the following month

With an editor to catalyze the writing process, you’re empowered to keep enriching your story over time with confidence and purpose.

Schedule a consultation with me to see if Hatching Season will be the supportive environment you need for your work.

Looking for a Great Editor?

Whenever you’re writing, there always are two creations in the making: the story itself, and who you become in the process.

An editor who understands the writing life, the manuscript, and can give clear, motivating guidance is what writers need to become authors.
