A logline is essentially a one-line pitch of your story intended to describe the central plot and conflict and includes: protagonist, goal, conflict/antagonist.
Example: A charismatic thief must steal a container of deadly chemicals to stop a corrupt agency from destroying her home.

Ever written yourself into a corner and can’t get out?
You aren’t alone!
This is so common I created a separate service for it. I’ve helped hundreds of writers talk through plot holes, character arc, worldbuilding, and more.
Flat fee of $200. Contact link in bio. I’ll read up to 2500 words.

The blurb is the summary for the back cover/inside jacket to tell the reader what the story is about.
It includes 3 elements:
Hook: what makes your story unique?
MC: Introduce them and tell the most important things about them
Set up main conflict + focus on stakes--don't give away the end!

The first chapter is a miniature model of the whole book. It tells readers what to expect and gets them interested enough to find out for themselves.
When I read those first 10 pages, I look for:
Voice, mood, and tone
Plot
Emotional Connection
Mystery
Orientation
Which character do you start with?

When you write a book, it’s a contract between a writer and reader. Always consider whether you’ll have a harmful impact upon your reader through outdated stereotypes or tropes, or unintentional mischaracterizations.
Do your due diligence—research (!!) and get a good (human!) sensitivity reader.

How do you begin and end a scene?
You want to use a "get in late, get out early" philosophy so you're starting as close to the action as you can and the characters are going to connect, and what's happening should still make sense to your reader, but we're not going to end up with lots of set-up.

Some of my best clients know a lot about writing, but struggle to apply it to their own work.
I call it 2nd Book Syndrome.
I can talk you through it, as I do with them. I’ll read 2500 words and we’ll Zoom for an hour, discussing your story and how to apply what you know. Flat fee, link in bio.

One of my favorite things to do is talk to writers. It’s no surprise…I got my start by chatting with writers in my indie bookstore.
Book a 1-hour consultation (link in bio) and I’ll read your first 2500 words, meet you on Zoom for 1 hour, and help you get past your stuck points.

It's definitely not easy to go right from writing to revising. It requires a shift--you have to become a reader instead of a writer. If you're a neurodivergent writer, sometimes that can feel impossible--but it's not! I have some resources on my website to help.
