Weeks 1–3 · The habit
A realistic weekly target and a writing time that survives your schedule.
The programs, in detail
Four programs of 8 to 16 weeks. All of them involve writing every week and sending the pages.
Program 01 · Words on the page
Finish a first draft
Most unfinished books die somewhere around chapter five. This program is built around momentum rather than quality: a modest weekly target, a coach who notices when the pages don't arrive, and permission to write badly until the draft exists.
Weeks 4–8 · The middle
Getting through the part where every book feels like a mistake.
Weeks 9–13 · Momentum
Pages every week, no rereading from page one.
Weeks 14–16 · The end
Writing toward a real ending, even a rough one.
Weeks 1–2 · The map
Laying out every scene and seeing the shape you actually have.
Weeks 3–5 · The spine
Want, obstacle, change — scene by scene.
Weeks 6–8 · The middle
Escalation instead of repetition.
Weeks 9–10 · The ending
An ending the beginning was promising all along.
Program 02 · Make it hold together
Story structure
Structure problems feel like writing problems. We map what you have, find where the story stops causing itself, and rebuild the spine: what your character wants, what keeps changing, and why each scene earns its place.
Program 03 · From draft to readable
Revision & editing
Revision fails when writers polish sentences in chapters that shouldn't exist. We work in passes: structure, then scenes, then prose. You'll get honest developmental feedback on submitted sections, and a cutting plan that usually removes more than it adds.
Weeks 1–3 · Big picture
Structural feedback on the whole manuscript.
Weeks 4–7 · Scene work
Tension, point of view and pacing, scene by scene.
Weeks 8–10 · Line level
Clarity, rhythm and cutting the padding.
Weeks 11–12 · Read-through
A final pass and a checklist before anyone else sees it.
Weeks 1–2 · The query
One page: the hook, the book, and you.
Weeks 3–4 · The synopsis
Two pages including the ending, written clearly.
Weeks 5–6 · The list
Researching agents who actually represent your kind of book.
Weeks 7–8 · Sending
Batches, tracking, and surviving the responses.
Program 04 · Ready to send
Submitting your work
We prepare materials and expectations together. The query and synopsis get drafted and cut until they work; the agent list gets built from real research. We charge no reading or submission fees, submit nothing on your behalf, and promise nothing about outcomes — which is the only honest position.
Where did the book stall?
Twenty minutes on the project and what would get it moving again. Free, and honest.
