Blueprint for a Book
Start Smart. Write with Confidence. Finish Strong.
Are you staring at a half-finished manuscript that just doesn’t work? Or sitting on a brilliant idea, unsure how to start?
Whether you're a first-time author or a seasoned writer on deadline, Blueprint Coaching will help you create a strong foundation for a story that readers can’t put down.
What is Full Blueprint Coaching?
Full Blueprint Coaching is a one-on-one coaching experience designed to help you:
Develop your story idea from scratch—or rescue a struggling draft.
Answer 14 critical questions that uncover your book’s heart, structure, and purpose.
Walk away with a custom roadmap that turns your creative spark into a story that holds together.
At the center of this process is a powerful tool: The Blueprint for a Book—a step-by-step inquiry designed to help you think deeply and clearly about your story before you write (or revise) a single scene.
Why Most Writers Don’t Start Writing. . .
Many writers are told, “Just start writing!”—but without structure, clarity, or direction, they write themselves into a corner.
They hit the messy middle.
They don’t know how to end the book.
They don’t think through their character arc or story point.
And after months (or years) of work, they’re left with a draft that doesn’t work—or worse, abandoned altogether.
On the flip side, you might be told to plot your novel to perfection before you ever write a word. So you spend months—or even years—mapping out every detail, tweaking every beat, trying to make it “just right.” And still… you never start writing.
Either way, you’re stuck.
What you need is a flexible, story-focused plan that helps you move forward with clarity, creativity, and confidence.
You don’t have to keep spinning your wheels, rewriting the same draft, or giving up on books that once excited you.
The Blueprint changes everything.
Start with clarity. End with a book you’re proud of.
Who This Is For:
Writers with a brand new idea and no clue where to start.
Writers who’ve finished a draft that isn’t working and need to start fresh.
Writers who want a professional’s eye on the core of their book before investing more time.
