Consulting
Services

Hook readers from the first line and tell the story that’s in your heart with a little help from the expert.

A Good Story Starts Here

With more than a decade of experience helping brands and creators connect with their audiences, my goal is to uncover the fundamental truths and delights that that constitute the emotional core of every story.

  • Designed to provide guidance during the earliest stage of the creative process, story consulting is centered around collaborative development of an outline or framework that works for you.

  • Get personalized feedback on your novel, short story, or script with developmental editing. This type of editing focuses on the big picture, namely that your characters, your plot, and your world are living up to their maximum potential.

What You Get

Action Map

Truly great stories are the masters of expectation, playing with wins and losses to propel a protagonist’s emotional journey. By mapping the pacing of your project, we’ll glean a deeper understanding of how audience expectations shift and adapt with your story.

Conflict Dissection

It’s one thing to avoid conflict in real life, but at the heart of every great story is a battle that forces audiences to take a side. We’ll get to the bottom of yours using a combination of traditional literary conflict theory and modern pop culture expectations.

Character Analysis

Have you written a character that audiences love, love to hate, or worst of all - simply don’t care about? Using a combination of archetypal analysis, journey mapping, and motivation we’ll unearth the best possible version of your key players.

1-on-1 Support

Story consulting is more than just a review of your work, it’s a relationship that grows and develops along with the story you’re trying to tell.
