Working together to build your novel from the ground up.
Plotting Sessions
Quick Calls, Lasting Results
Are you feeling stuck with your story? Are your friends and family sick of you asking for help with your fictional world? Or only giving you unhelpful advice? Talking to an impartial editor is sometimes all the help you need. This is perfect for writers who are suffering from writer’s block or who want extra clarity in the story they are currently writing.
-
- Ask me anything (plot, characters, etc.) and get productive feedback
- Organize and link existing ideas
- Pinpoint where you are blocked and how to get past that – even if it means rewriting
- Put our heads together to brainstorm new possibilities
- Clarify the big-picture
How It Works:
I will read an outline and/or a synopsis, and 5 pages of your manuscript. We will sit down and discuss it via a conference call in detail. You can ask me anything, and I will ask you questions meant to inspire you.
Rate: $100 for a 30-minute session
$200 for a 60-minute session
If extra reading or conference calls are needed for your session, additional rates may apply.
Who It’s For:
Individual calls are good for any writer, at any stage of the process. Some examples of what we can do during a call are:
- Quick plotting help before you start writing
- If you’re stuck in the middle of a scene and need to talk it through
- If you have writer’s block and need help getting back on track
- Help plotting before diving into your next round of revisions
“I worked with Casey on a plotting session before diving into edits for my second draft. My goal was to strengthen my conflict and get an overall clearer direction for my plot, and I was very pleased with the result! Casey was able to pick up on plot issues and she gave me a great idea on how to tie my sub-plot and main plot together. You know when you get an idea and it rings so true, it’s like it was always meant to be? That’s how I felt with Casey. I’m pretty sure she saved me a couple of drafts. Highly recommend this as a pre-revision step!”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Casey on several projects, and have come to appreciate and depend upon her keen eye and unique insight. She’s the perfect combination of a devoted reader and a consummate professional, and her feedback consistently elevates the overall quality of my work as an author. From characterization to themes and plot, Casey is able to identify potential issues and make sound recommendations for improvement. She’s become my trusted partner and an indispensable resource, and I would highly recommend her services to writers at all levels of the game.”
