From Concept to Completion: Services to Elevate Your Novel

Novel Planning

Where I help authors gain clarity about the story they’re trying to tell. Together, we explore possibilities, evaluate different directions the story can take, and shape the idea into a working outline so they can write forward with confidence.

Revising the Story

Where I help authors gain clarity about what their manuscript needs next. Together, we uncover the root cause behind their novel’s problems so they can revise with purpose instead of guessing. They’ll leave knowing what needs revising, why it matters, and how to approach it.

Where I help authors gain clarity on how to execute their story, scene by scene. Through feedback and discussion, authors will write their first draft while learning what makes a scene work, how to evaluate their own writing, and how to solve problems as they arise.

Writing the First Draft

Jim Burfoot (After working together through The Write Practice)

Very enjoyable and productive process. Kallista provided great feedback and suggestions. I feel better about my story idea! Thank you.
