Absolutely! The Developmental Editing Membership is designed for a completed manuscript but if you're not quite done yet, the lessons will show you what's still missing and motivate you to write through to the end.

Plus, you get lifetime access to the course, so you can always come back to review what you need when you're ready, for the book you're writing now, or the next book, or the next!

No, you will not be required to share your writing during the Developmental Mentorship.

However, I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to ask questions and share about your specific writing project with the group to get support from me, my team, and fellow writers (the most supportive group of writers on the internet), so you can get unstuck fast when you need to.

We will also be hosting an optional  Critique Partner match for those who want to share their writing with others on an ongoing basis, to practice implementing what you've learned in this Mentorship.

Sharing with agents, publishers or readers can be daunting. Congratulations on putting your work out there! 

But when you get a "meh", or "sorry, not for me"  back on a story without a clear reason why, it feels like a brick wall. 

Where do you go from there?

Believe me, I understand. I queried hundreds of agents for my first book. I had a few bites, but ultimately didn't get represented.

Then I developed my developmental editing techniques that I share in this Mentorship.

When I queried my next series, I got an offer from the first agent I sent it to - my top pick, Naomi Davis of Bookends Literary. 

In the Developmental Editing Mentorship,  I'll share with you what I've learned over the years that agents, publishers, and readers are looking for, and more importantly, what might earn you an instant "not for me" so that you can avoid this state of limbo.

Finding someone who loves your book as much as you do isn't a guarantee. But if you use the techniques I teach in this Mentorship to make your writing stronger, it'll be a lot harder for them to resist asking to read the whole book.

Your time is valuable, so I promise not to waste it. My unique coaching style cuts to the chase, teaching writing concepts in a direct, relatable manner, so you don't have to read reams of books about writing and then wallow while you try to sort out how to apply all the advice to your own book.

The lessons and tips I teach are not available anywhere else, and are a fresh take on tried and true industry standards. Even if you've covered some of the writing topics before, you're guaranteed to learn new ways to make your book the masterpiece you long to write.

Yes! If a writing process is working for you, don't abandon it. Writers get the job done in many different ways.

In this Developmental Editing Mentorship, I'll introduce my process, including loads of new tools for you to add to your writers' toolbelt, to bolster those that you've got working already, or replace those that aren't.

Not to worry, you can still join us! Once enrolled, you'll have lifetime access to the Developmental Editing Mentorship course materials, so grab your spot now, then jump in whenever you're ready to work on your book.

Lots of my students even come back years later to revisit the lessons in my courses when they're writing their next (or 10th!) book. We even help them find the course again if they've lost their link or password. 

If the course is ever retired, you will be given 30 days notice so that you can download lessons and access them locally before they go away. 

Trying the Developmental Editing Mentorship is risk free, backed by my 14-day Money-Back guarantee.

If you put in the work and you don't find it's helping your writing, simply email me at [email protected] show us the lessons you've tried and explain why it didn't work for you (so that we can make the course better for writers in the future!) to receive your refund.
