Manuscript Analysis
If you have a completed draft,
CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve accomplished something many people only dream about, something that takes a lot of patience, hard work, and dedication. Unfortunately, too many of writers resort to begging anyone and everyone to read the book. This gives them unhelpful feedback, if any at all. Every rough draft needs revised and edited. As Ernest Hemingway said, “The only kind writing is rewriting.” But how do you know what to revise if no one will give you useful feedback?
That’s where a professional diagnostic will do you good.
You will receive:
A full read of the manuscript (up to 100k words, $.026 per word after that)
An in depth analysis of the general story structure of the manuscript
‘Next Steps’ recommendations specialized for your manuscript
Since human psychology dictates that if you don’t pay for something, you don’t appreciate it, Rebekah makes sure to help you with this as well with a one time fee of $3000 for this service. She has learned through harsh experience that people who try to be cheap generally are not as dedicated to their own success. She wants to work only with people who are dedicated to their own success, and will put in the hard work of integrating quality into the entertainment they produce. If you have this kind of success aimed dedication, contact Rebekah and set up a consultation to see if she is the right fit for you.
Character analysis and creation
Rebekah uses a unique profiling system for character creation. It’s simpler to understand than other commonly used profiling systems, and yet somehow more versatile as well. Applying this system prevents characters from being portrayed as shallow, too similar to each other, and erases the conundrum of which character flaws to apply. It also adds the dynamic of a greater variety of story tension between character interactions. You can learn more about this through the blog, by signing up for the newsletter, or through personal coaching sessions. The pricing is the same as book coaching, or can be included in more generalized book coaching sessions if you wish.
God Talks Sessions
Rebekah is trained and certified as a God Talks coach through Ed Rush. Rebekah believes that God is speaking personally to everyone, whether you recognize it or not, whether you believe in Him or not. This process teaches you some foundational basics to ask God questions and get answers. This is particularly helpful for situations that are common among authors. It can help you get past writers block, kick start your imagination, lower decision fatigue, and bypass lack of confidence. Because this teaches you a skill for you to use on your own, and it takes time away from other writing ventures, and (as previously stated) no one gives appropriate value to free hand-outs, Rebekah must charge for these sessions. Hopefully you can learn enough that you can do these on your own for yourself, and perhaps pass the skill on to others to help them as well. You can sign up for guided sessions, with coaching and assistance included. These can be as regularly occurring sessions, on retainer, or one-time sessions as needed. Contact Rebekah to discuss your needs and pricing plans.
