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
Are you facing resistance that feels bigger than your motivation? Do you know your idea is good, but next steps are shrouded in fog? When a foundation is unclear, progress can feel heavy if not impossible.
“Beating the Story™" is a great option for you! This extremely affordable four session class, with a cohort of no more than five other authors, looks at goals, where you are, where you are going, and helps you chart a path forward. We are blunt about commercial possibilities for your work.
Appropriate for both screenwriters and book authors, “Beating the Story” helps diagnose what is actually blocking the work, whether structural, conceptual, or internal, and rebuilds momentum with clarity rather than pressure.
If you are uncertain about whether one of our one-on-one coaching packages is right for you, “Beating the Story “is a great place to start. Best of all, if you do decide to opt into one of our coaching packages, 50% of the cost of Beating the Story is applicable.
Publishing & Book Production
Publishing has become a nearly indecipherable maze since 2015. Self-published, hybrid publishing, traditional publishing… where do authors start?
Book Production packages: For authors who want to self-publish, our book production packages are fast, affordable, and ultimately highly professional.
Our packages include eBook and print book formatting, eBook and full-wrap print book covers, ISBNs, copyright registration, consulting on best publication path forward (Amazon exclusive or wide?), consulting on keywords, BISAC and Amazon categories, and assistance in setting up publishing accounts for new authors.
Our more expanded packages include line and content editing and audiobook production.
Authors retain all rights and control all publication finances; books are published to publishing accounts author controls 100%; no rights are given up and Author. Ink retains no royalties.
Author.ink also offers hybrid and traditional publishing options for titles in specific fiction categories. Please contact us to schedule a clarity call to go over your options.
