About The Intensive…

If you’re here that probably means there’s a chance that you’ve been struggling with your manuscript. Maybe you’re fighting to bring the vision you had for the story onto the page, or what to do next, or maybe you just feel like something is off. 

If you’re feeling lost and overwhelmed with where to begin, or if you’re even making the right changes, don’t worry. You’re normal. If finishing the draft and being able to query or independently publish is the goal, then joining The Intensive: Mentorship Program might be something to look into.

I believe all of us know how to tell the story that lives inside of us. You know what this story could and should be. Your vision must be the one that ends up on the page.

All I want to do is help you write the book you’re proud of.

With years of experience as a published author and helping others shape their story, I have refined the skill of finding what can take a manuscript from good to great and helping more writers make it to publication is something I’m deeply passionate about.

I’ve had conversations with so many writers who know what they want, but are struggling in isolation, self doubt, and wondering if this is even a realistic dream. I get it, I’ve been there. I was that person.

This program was born out of my desire to help people get “there”.

The Intensive is a group program aimed to help you move forward with expert guidance and resources. You will spend 6 months writing your way to a manuscript that you’re proud of, while being in community with others that are all working towards that same goal, and being accountable to someone who is READING YOUR WORK.  

Why 6 months Kristin? Great question. I believe that this amount of time is going to allow us to do the deep work in a way that will grow your skills, confidence, and connection. I know this is a commitment, but I want to give everyone the time and energy their art deserves.

It starts with a one on one call to determine where you are, what you need, and a plan for the next 6 months.

After that the schedule looks like this:

• Bi-weekly zoom calls for brainstorming, accountability, and to discuss your next steps.

• bi-weekly submission of your work for review!

• Upon manuscript completion, I will read it again and provide an edit letter! And I will read as many times as needed until it’s ready to be sent out in the world!

• WEEKLY emails with craft advice, instructional videos, and resources.

• Bi-weekly zoom calls with experts such as agents, editors, and publicists. Pitch experts to teach us how to talk about our books effectively (and lordy HOW TO USE COMP TITLES PROPERLY). Also meditation specialists, tarot for creativity experts, and physical therapists who teach us how to take care of our bodies.

• WEEKLY zoom writing sprints! (two: one during the week and one on the weekend)

• Personalized assistance in polishing your query until it’s GREAT.

• and more! (because I cannot be stopped)

The pace is rigorous, the commitment is strong, and growth will happen.

Have you already started your book? Are you finished but want to take this to the next level? This program is set up to meet you where you are. I can help you finish the book STRONG and start your next project! If you’re ready to query in three months, we can do that and start on the next project!

The dates for the next mentorship will be Sept 15th-April 17th.

(we will take a month-long break in DECEMBER)

I can’t wait to get started!
