Seed & Structure

One-on-One Idea Generation & First Draft Mentorship

"I Need To Finish This Story For _______."

Fill in the blank.

 

Perhaps it’s for your children. Your readers. Yourself.

​

You’ve been carrying this story in your heart for months—maybe years. You’ve written scraps of it, circled around it, even started and stopped drafts. But every time, you hit the same wall:

​

  • “Is this story worth telling? Do I even have what it takes?”
     

  • “I don’t know if my plot or characters are strong enough to carry the book.”
     

  • “I want to finish this in my lifetime, but I don’t know how to get there.”
     

You’ve tried pushing through on your own, but writing feels solitary, overwhelming, and full of self-doubt.

It is possible to finish your draft with confidence.

What if writing your book didn’t feel like wandering in circles, second-guessing every choice?
 

Imagine being able to . . .

​

  • Sit down at your desk with a complete roadmap that shows you exactly what comes next.
     

  • See your characters and world take shape in ways that feel alive and believable.
     

  • Finally hold your full first draft in your hands—finished.
     

  • Work with a supportive professional who understands story structure, character arcs, and the struggles writers face.
     

  • Trust yourself more and know you’re not alone in the process.

This Is Where

Weaving the Writer's Web: Seed & Structure

Comes In

This 1-on-1 book idea generation and first mentorship is designed to guide you through finishing your first draft of your novel.

Hi, I'm Victoria.

Fiction Developmental Editor & Story-craft Mentor

Nothing makes me happier than when a writer tells me, “I finally decided I needed to do this before I die.”

​

Because the truth is, we deserve to tell our stories. Stories are how we connect as humans—how we make sense of the world, share our truths, and leave something behind that reaches beyond us.

​

What breaks my heart is when those stories never make it out of someone’s head. When drafts stall, confidence wavers, and years go by without the book they’ve been dreaming of.

​

That’s why I created Seed & Structure. As a certified developmental editor and story-craft mentor, I help writers who are committed to finishing their book turn sparks of inspiration into full drafts with clarity, confidence, and support. My mission is simple: to make sure your story doesn’t stay stuck inside you, but finds its way onto the page—where it belongs.

Seed & Structure

So many writing programs push you straight into drafting without first building the strong foundation that keeps a story alive.

 

The result?

 

Half-finished drafts, self-doubt, and frustration.

Here's What We'll Cover

​​​​Months 1–3: Seed Phase (Outlining)

  • Build your full story roadmap from beginning to end.
     

  • Anchor your characters, themes, and world in a way that feels alive.
     

  • Craft a plot that makes sense and carries momentum.

​

Months 4–9: Structure Phase (Drafting)

  • Move from outline into drafting with accountability.
     

  • Troubleshoot story problems before they derail your progress.
     

  • Stay on track until you have a complete draft in your hands.

​

What’s Included

​

  • Two 60-minute 1:1 coaching sessions each month–dedicated space to brainstorm, problem-solve, and refine your story.
     

  • Story Outline Review in Month Three.
     

  • Feedback on up to 5,000 words per month–outlines, story ideas, character arcs, or early chapters.
     

  • Custom prompts, planning templates, and world-building tools tailored to your project.
     

  • Unlimited support via Telegram or email during business hours–encouragement and answers exactly when you need them.

Here's what other writers have to say . . .

Tiffany Dorbin

“As a new writer my coaching session was extremely helpful, Victoria asked a lot of fantastic thought provoking questions that showed me where more development for my characters and plot is needed as well as some general tips and ways to stay away from procrastination.”

Maybe You're Saying . . . 

“It’s too expensive.”
I understand this is an investment—but how many more years will you lose circling the same draft without finishing? With this program, you won’t just have an outline; you’ll have a complete draft. Payment plans are available to make the process accessible.

​

“I don’t have enough time.”
That’s exactly why this mentorship exists: structure, accountability, and steady progress. Writing a draft in nine months is absolutely possible with consistent guidance—and you won’t be doing it alone.

​

“I don’t know if I’m ready.”
If you’ve been carrying this story for months or years, that is ready. Seed & Structure gives you the roadmap to finally make it real.
