What's included

• Storyboard

  Every good story has a particular arc and endpoint. It is critical to figure out the crux of your story even before you start writing a sentence. After a series of interviews, we will craft a storyboard that identifies the critical ingredients to make your story one people will want to read.

• Overarching Outline

  Once we review your story and ensure it has a solid direction, we will create a chapter-by-chapter outline that will fill in critical questions and the challenges you faced and overcame to make you the person you are today. We will identify lessons you've learned, the dragons you've had to battle, and the wisdom you've gained.

• First "Rough" Draft - Just getting the words down on paper

  When we have established critical story criteria and steps, I will begin the first detailed draft of the story. This will probably be the longest phase of the entire process, but I will keep you updated along the way.

• Second Draft - A more refined version

  We both review the first draft together, looking for gaps, plot holes, and unresolved blocks that might slow the reader down. We also look for aspects of your life that need to be added or taken out. We ensure it matches the original vision of our storyboard. If the story needs changes to make it more compelling, we review those as they come up.

• Copyedited and Polished Final

  Once the second draft is completed and reviewed by you, we send it to a copyeditor who will ensure all our grammar, spelling, and flow are correct.
