FULL STORY PLANNING

This package uses Author Accelerator's complete Blueprint for a Book to help you think through every aspect of your story before you begin writing, from why it needs to be told, to plotting and world building, to title and jacket copy.

This is an ideal program for fiction authors who have a well-formed story idea they are excited about, but have not yet begun to write. It's also perfect for those who have started a first draft and gotten stalled.

I’ll guide you as you develop both the external events of the story (the plot) and the internal journey of the protagonist (character arc). I will help you create a solid foundation for your book and a clear roadmap for your first draft. You will also come away equipped with some content that will be needed for marketing and promotion, whether you plan to publish independently or traditionally.

Using a 17-step process, we’ll clarify:

• what your book is about,

• what is the point of the book,

• why you are the one to write this book,

• what your protagonist wants,

• what happens and why

…and much more.

You’ll come away with:

• sufficient backstory on which to base your plot and character arcs,

• a cohesive setting,

• a working outline which includes internal and external events,

• a “book jacket” summary of your book,

• understanding of your genre and ideal reader,

• a roadmap for writing your first draft,

• confidence to begin or continue your first draft!

"What I enjoyed most in working with Susan was finding someone who was as interested in my craft and success as I was. Susan helped me take the seed of an idea and together we worked to see it blossom into a new and exciting series. Her support sparked a rejuvenation in my passion for this work. I would highly recommend Susan to any author looking for coaching and direction in their next book.”

~Mason Dakota, author of The Dystopian King Series
