Description

Hidden between the lines of your writing are your strengths, your intuitive intentions, and clues for improvement.

Along with extensive experience as a published, award-winning writer, Karen has an ability to glean information between-the-lines, in the “white space,” when working with writers and their manuscripts.

After reading your pages, she’ll share insights regarding the story’s shape, structure, tone, thematic heart and key emotional moments.

During the session, she’ll ask defining questions that will enable you to identify your intention, your story’s essence, and how it might naturally unfold. She’ll bring to light the natural intuitive abilities that make your voice unique, point out opportunities for expansion, unseen elements worth exploring, and more.

The intention is to get the elements of your draft in place so you can gain clarity on:

• Outline overview
• Structure
• Proportional use of scene, summary and reflection to build powerful sequences
• How well all aspects of the story are tracking including, character development, plot, and transformational arc
• Ways to imbue your writing with authentic emotion
• Using symbolism and theme to convey meaning
• Enhancing reader engagement

Experience transformational breakthroughs with your:

WRITING
• Guidance to identify theme and meaning – locate metaphors and leitmotifs to develop further
• How to shape and hone story
• Ways to identify major story points – what to enhance, what to trim
• How to add sensory elements throughout
• Somatic prompts customized for your story to deepen emotionality
• Ways to finish a draft despite fear/resistance

PROCESS AND PRACTICE
• Accountability
• Ways to establish a working writing practice
• How to get unstuck
• How to balance writing with work and life
• Help setting doable goals with accountability

REVISION
• Ways to innovate classic & cinematic structure systems to organize your story
• Guidance to trim and streamline your story
• Developmental editing

Writers working with Karen:

• Have made significant progress on their manuscripts
• Feel supported by accountability
• Are writing more steadily
• Have published their work

Karen will read up to 10 double-spaced pages of your work, and provide written comments prior to your 60-minute virtual session.

You’ll get personalized, focused attention on your work with guidance toward publication, including structure, craft, process and practice.

All sessions will be recorded and archived on Vimeo so you can revisit the notes and glean additional insights.
