Analysis & Recommendations
Does your manuscript keep getting rejected? Know something is ‘off’ but not sure what? Is your book not selling?
An Analysis & Recommendation provides you with the directions you need to finish your manuscript or uncover those hiccups that are impeding your book from selling as you anticipated.
We will analyze your manuscript and produce a comprehensive assessment outlining the selling points, potential markets, obstacles in the market, and recommendations for overcoming them. An A & R includes:
- The “Gold” in your manuscript; the unique selling point that makes your manuscript standout from the rest, and its other strengths
- The best positioning in the market(s) (BISACs) and retailer classifications (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.)
- Deal-breakers and weaknesses of your manuscript
- Industry-standard pitch
- Detailed analysis giving the overall potential of the manuscript given its strengths, weakness, and the market(s) it aligns with
- A “How-To” guide to correcting the market obstacles

Roadmap
It takes more than an idea to create a story, and even more to create an exceptional story. It takes structure. Structure is the #1 reason traditional publishers reject manuscripts, and why readers put the book down and do not pick it up again. You know that feeling when you read a story, and something just is not right, but you cannot tell what it is? It is more than likely a structure issue. Some key elements are missing or out of place. While some, like Stephen King, can pants their way through their manuscript, others need a detailed guide on how to get their protagonist from the start to the end.
No matter where you fall on the planning spectrum, a Story Roadmap can keep track of essential information, and ensure you hit those key plot points. Valuable as a base for a series bible, it can keep plot holes at bay and the suspension of disbelief going until your reader puts down the book with satisfaction, looking forward to reading it again, or buying your next one. Whether you use your Story Map as a starting point or your revision tool, it is key to making sure you have the essential elements to build your manuscript. No more saggy middle!
Work with our team to produce your plan for writing your book. Over a series of one-on-one meetings, we will help unravel your characters, simplify the journey of your story, and pinpoint the key plot elements to produce a polished manuscript.
Your Story Roadmap includes:
- Tropes
- Premise
- Subplots
- Detailed plot
- Setting details
- Main character profiles
- Secondary & Tertiary character charts
- Chapter-by-chapter outline
- The best market placement (BISACs) recommendations

Coaching
If you are an author who wants the satisfaction of completing your manuscript all on your own, but find yourself struggling with the ideas of structure, outlining, characterization, or simply need someone to hold your hand through the process, then we can help. If you need weekly check-ins, encouragement, someone to brainstorm with, to listen as you go through the struggle of birthing your book baby, we will be here for you. Personalized coaching will take you from story premise to completed manuscript all at your own pace and can start and stop at your leisure. In your 60-minute session we will cover more than just the nuances of writing, but also the emotional and mental challenges that arise as you bring your vision to life. If along the way you decide that you would prefer to partner with our team to ghostwriter your manuscript, your coaching expense is fully deductible.

Formatting & Coding
A manuscript is not ready for publication until formatted and coded to industry standards. There is nothing more jarring than opening a book to find odd margins, multiple fonts, and a general lack of consistency. The publishing industry has standards and if you want to be traditionally published, or ensure your self-published manuscript has that final polish, those standards must be upheld.

| Formatting Alone | $100.00 – $500.00 | 1 week |
| Coding Alone | $250.00 – $2,000.00 | 1 week |
