Get Unstuck: Quick Solutions for Writers

Short Term Support

If you’re overwhelmed, under deadline, or just need help NOW, start here. These short‑term services are designed for authors who don’t need (or can’t yet commit to) a full manuscript edit or long coaching package.


Solution Sprint

$125 | 90 minutes (or two 45‑minute sessions)

For when one specific problem is blocking everything. Includes:

  • Brief intake (1 page summary or up to 10 pages of text)
  • Live problem‑solving session
  • A written action plan you can immediately work from

Common Uses:

  • Plot or structure knots
  • Character motivation issues
  • Worldbuilding confusion
  • Revision paralysis
  • Writer’s block that won’t budge

Clarity Pack

$175 | Two sessions over two weeks

For writers who need direction, not a long‑term coach. This is an ideal option if you’re stuck between drafts or unsure how to proceed.

Session One

Diagnose what’s not working & identify realistic options

Session Two

Make decisions & build a next‑steps roadmap


First 10 Pages Diagnostic

$150

Before you revise everything or pay for a full edit. This is great for early drafts, stalled projects, or confidence checks. Includes:

  • Developmental + line‑level margin notes
  • 1–2 page editorial letter
  • Clear priorities: what to fix first, what to leave alone

Synopsis Rescue

$125 | Up to 1,500 words

Synopses are hard. You don’t have to suffer alone. This option is perfect for querying writers or submission prep. Includes:

  • Structural clarity and pacing fixes
  • Stronger stakes and through‑line
  • Query‑readiness feedback

Scene CPR

$75 per scene (up to 2,500 words) or 3 scenes for $200

For scenes that feel flat, confusing, or emotionally off. Suggested Focus Areas:

  • Pacing and tension
  • POV clarity
  • Emotional impact
  • Scene purpose

Heartwood Jumpstart

$250

A focused entry point for bigger projects. This stands alone or sets you up for deeper work later. Includes:

  • Developmental skim of up to 25 pages
  • 60‑minute coaching session
  • Prioritized revision roadmap
