Write, re-write, and write more! Improve your craft of writing by learning practical tools, how to develop a relationship with your muse, and overcoming writer’s block in order to access, cultivate, and express your unique voice. Beginning with the seed of your idea, we will identify your core vision and clarify your intentions, motivations, audience, and goals for turning your story idea into a book manuscript. Ya’el serves as your cheerleader, project manager, and writing chaperone! With her guidance, you will:

(1) Organize your thoughts, goals, and notes about your book project.

(2) Make sense of your many choices and translate them into an organized set of priorities.

(3) Develop a strategic, workable action plan.

(4) Implement your plan by setting and meeting goals with compassionate accountability. Life happens, and your plan will be responsive to your shifting needs. Ya’el will help you find creative ways to stay focused in order to accomplish your goals.

(1) Have an initial discovery meeting with Ya’el to discuss your goals for the book, the target audience, tone, writing style, and structure.

(2) Ya’el will broadly read your book and provide a general strategic analysis of next steps including assessment of how the book achieves client goals; is consistent in tone, theme, and structure; targets the primary audience; and moves the reader along to a compelling end.

(3) After another meeting to discuss the analysis, work begins on the book. Some clients take Ya’el’s notes, make suggested changes as they choose, and provide a next draft. Other clients request that Ya’el sit side-by-side and directly assist with writing the book.

(4) The process of collaborating, reading, assessing, editing, and re-writing continues until the client is satisfied with the final draft. Though Ya’el asks guiding questions and makes suggestions, the book will be written in the client’s unique style. You will feel proud to put your name on that finished manuscript!
