Ways to Work With Author.ink
Strategic Coaching
For authors who sense something isn’t fully aligned.
You may have a promising draft that feels uneven. You may be revising without clarity about what’s actually wrong. You may have strong chapters that don’t yet form a cohesive whole. You may have a finished book (or more than one!) and are uncertain about next steps.
Strategic Coaching focuses on narrative architecture, pacing, positioning, cohesion, and strengthening the spine of the manuscript. We look at the book as a system not isolated scenes.
This is foundational shaping, not surface editing.
Coaching capacity is intentionally limited to preserve depth and focus. Coaching clients are private one on one. We offer 12- and 24-week plans, and the program is suitable for both book and screenwriting clients.
Beating the Story
For writers facing resistance that feels bigger than motivation.
Creative friction is often structural misalignment in disguise. When the manuscript’s foundation is unclear, progress feels heavy.
Beating the Story helps diagnose what is actually blocking the work whether structural, conceptual, or internal and rebuilds momentum with clarity rather than pressure.
This is where mindset meets craft.
Beating the Story is a great starting place. It is a four session class, reasonably priced, with a cohort of no more than five writers.
Writers leave not just motivated but aligned.
Hybrid Publishing & Production
For manuscripts ready to move toward professional publication.
Hybrid publishing at Author.ink is curated and collaborative. It may include developmental editing, line refinement, structural assessment, revision mapping, publishing strategy conversations, and production coordination.
We do not rush books into print. Publication here is an extension of the writing process intentional, measured, and aligned.
The goal is not simply to release a book.
The goal is to publish something that holds
Our Process
Every serious manuscript moves through three phases:
1. Clarify the Structure:
Identify the true spine. Strengthen the foundation. Align narrative movement.
2. Refine the Execution:
Deepen cohesion. Sharpen clarity. Elevate the manuscript to professional standards.
3. Prepare for Publication:
Make deliberate decisions around packaging, positioning, and production guided by long-term vision rather than urgency.
