About
This third and final phase of our Writing Coach series focuses on plot, strong climaxes and endings, and providing focused feedback to ensure emotional payoff, narrative resolution, and a clear path forward after the draft is complete.
Get help bringing your story to a satisfying conclusion while maintaining momentum through the final stretch. You’ll revisit and refine your outline and complete the bulk of the manuscript. And you’ll get feedback all along the way from a writing coach.
You’ll begin planning what comes next as you receive guidance on revision options, editing paths, and publishing considerations, along with space to acknowledge the accomplishment of finishing a draft. You’ll leave with a completed manuscript and a clear, confident plan for moving forward.
Details
- Skill level: All levels, including beginner.
- You’ll get a weekly 60-minute call or an in-person meet-up on Bainbridge Island with writing coach Chrystal Lester, and daily email/chat support.
- Previous phases (Draft Builder Phase 1: Foundation and Story Blueprint and Draft Builder Phase 2: Drafting), are not prerequisites for this phase.
