Better Writing Now!

$150/5,000 words

This service is designed for authors who want to improve their storytelling skills and their writing style quickly on a limited budget.

Both Bryn and Gill will review the first 5,000 words of your novel or other project. Then, we’ll identify your THREE CORE STRENGTHS as a writer, so you can make the most of them! We’ll also point out many ways to improve both the storytelling and the writing style. You can apply these insights to the rest of your draft and on new projects going forward.

Query and Synopsis Feedback

$250/two passes

(You can use this service even if you haven’t written one word of the draft…to make sure the story stays on track!)

Drawing on her experience in reading thousands of query letters, Bryn will review the first draft of your query letter (one page) and synopsis (five pages maximum, double-spaced), suggesting rewrites to increase your chances of standing out from the slush pile. Once you revise your query letter and synopsis, she’ll take a second pass to help you polish it up.

Website Content Strategy

$400/consultation and SEO content plan

If you have a website or blog, but you don’t know what to write about…or if you keep on writing blog posts, but nobody seems to find them…let us help. Content marketing is a secret weapon that can lead people to your site, and your books, year after year! We have experience in devising SEO strategy and writing marketing content for big brands…and experience in growing an obscure author blog into a site that garners thousands of pageviews every day.

After a consultation with you to understand your goals, we will use paid search engine optimization tools to research and identify key phrases that are likely to bring people to your site. In other words, these are phrases that some people are searching for, but there isn’t a lot of competing content out there.

From there, we’ll put together a plan of 10 – 12 posts or articles you can write, with the exact phrases to use for discoverability. In a follow-up meeting, we ‘ll also talk to you about other strategies to get more visitors to your website.
