MINI BLUEPRINT FOR A BOOK (FICTION) PACKAGE

(Introduction) ($250*)

 

This package provides you the opportunity to test-drive your story idea and get a sense of my 1:1 coaching style with limited impact on your time and wallet.

  • Package Goals: You will walk away with a clarified story idea and your next steps for designing and building your story’s foundation. Plus, you will have taken that first big step on your book writing journey.
  • Mini Blueprint for a Book (“Mini Blueprint”): The Mini Blueprint is a short workbook of questions that will focus you on clarifying your story idea and its relationship to other books in the marketplace. The Mini Blueprint was created by Jennie Nash, the Founder and CEO of Author Accelerator, as part of her Blueprint for a Book methodology and book of the same name. I am an Author Accelerator certified book coach authorized to coach the Mini Blueprint.
  • Client Submission Deadline (One): You will have one client submission deadline. Following purchase of this package, you will receive two documents to complete and submit to me at the same time. The first document is a Writer Appraisal, so I can learn more about you and your writing. The second document is the Mini Blueprint.
  • Coach Written Feedback (One): You will receive one round of written feedback from me on your completed Mini Blueprint.
  • Coaching Call (One): We will have one 60-minutes coaching call on Zoom, which will be recorded and provided to you. The call agenda will include a discussion of:
    • My feedback on your Mini Blueprint and story idea, along with any questions and thoughts you have on the feedback;
    • Your writing and story goals; and
    • Your individualized go-forward needs to move forward with your story’s design and foundation building in the short-term (prior to writing forward on your manuscript), including recommendations for next steps.
  • Time Commitment:* It can take as little as 3-4 weeks to complete this package subject to availability.
  • Possible Next Steps - 1:1 Coaching Opportunities: Once you’ve clarified your story’s idea, the next step is to design and build your story’s foundation. Building your story’s foundation before you start writing your manuscript will give you clarity and confidence and save you time and energy down the road by keeping you from writing in circles with no set destination. Jennie Nash’s Blueprint for a Book methodology is a book-planning method that can support you in designing and building this foundation.
    • Blueprint for a Book Package & Deep Dive Blueprint for a Book Package: I offer intermediate and intensive 1:1 coaching packages using the Blueprint for a Book methodology, which I am licensed to teach. More information on these packages is provided below. 
    • Price Discount:* You will receive a $150* price discount towards the Blueprint for a Book Package or a $200* price discount towards the Deep Dive Blueprint for a Book Package if you purchase the additional package within 30 days of completing the Mini Blueprint Coaching Call.

*Price and price discounts are subject to change at any time prior to package(s) purchase. Please note the Mini Blueprint for a Book Package will expire if not used or completed within three months of the package purchase date.

Key Differences Between

The Deep Dive Blueprint for a Book (Fiction) Package (Intensive)

& The Blueprint for a Book (Fiction) Package (Intermediate)

 

Three Additional Client Submissions - More Time & More Iterations to Brainstorm and Complete Your Blueprint

The Deep Dive Blueprint for a Book Package spreads out the Blueprint for a Book methodology into four story development submissions (instead of one) providing you with the ability to receive real-time feedback on one phase of the Blueprint Workbook before moving to the next phase. You also have the ability to incorporate the feedback you receive from me on one submission into exercise revisions you can submit at your next deadline.

 

Three Additional Coaching Calls

The Deep Dive Blueprint for a Book Package includes three additional one-hour recorded calls on Zoom to accompany each of the three additional story development submissions. These additional coaching calls provide you with more real-time feedback about your submitted exercises and additional access to brainstorming and collaboration opportunities with me about your story before you begin writing your manuscript.

 

The Inside Outline, Deep Dive

The Deep Dive Blueprint for a Book Package focuses two of the story development client submissions and two of the coaching calls on developing the Inside Outline, which is the flexible framework that you will use as the basis for beginning to write your manuscript. The Blueprint for a Book Package provides feedback on your first draft of the Inside Outline.

“Richelle has a natural understanding of story structure. She helped me tease out a complicated timeline with multiple POV’s into a cohesive draft that makes sense and is a joy to work on. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. Her notes and suggestions are easy to understand and implement. Thank you, Richelle, for putting in the extra time and effort into helping me create an engaging and exciting novel.”

I can guide you to...

  • Put yourself back on your to do list and live into your purpose - the one that’s always felt just out of reach - while you strive for long-term self-fulfillment.

  • Reconnect with your dream of writing and publishing a novel.

  •  Build change into your life, so you can write and live more intentionally now, not someday.

  • Rediscover what lights you up, so you can get unstuck and start living creatively again.

  • Stay accountable while I manage your project.

  • Discover novel writing shortcuts, so you can be efficient and effective from the start; rather than scrambling in the dark or hitting the detours and roadblocks that inevitably accompany starting something new.

  • Brainstorm, strategize, design, plan, and implement a Novel Writing Roadmap that works for you, regardless of where you are in the novel writing process.

  •  Identify and trouble-shoot your story and/or writing skill gaps early and develop a plan to address them.

  • Draft, revise, and finalize your novel.

  • Pitch your novel.

I want to be in your corner cheering you on while you push past your boundaries and conquer your doubts and fears, so you can achieve your writing dreams.
