Strengthen Your Scene Session

Turn your scene from “meh” to “meaningful” in just one focused session.

You’ve written a scene, but something’s off...

Maybe pacing feels weird.

Maybe your character's choices don't quite land.

Maybe you're asking yourself: What is this scene actually doing?

You're not alone.

Scenes are the beating heart of your story—and when one of them isn’t working, it can stall your momentum or shake your confidence.

You don’t need more vague advice or surface-level line edits.

You need real, focused insight from a developmental editor who can see the story beneath the surface.

This is exactly what this session is for.

The Strengthen Your Scene Session gives you deep, story-driven feedback on one scene—so you can revise with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether you’re revising a full draft or polishing for submission, this is a powerful way to make sure your scene is working hard for your story.

Here's what's included

✔️ An onboarding form to help you clarify the purpose of your scene

✔️ One scene (up to 2,000 words) reviewed from a developmental editing perspective

✔️ In-line comments and a feedback letter

✔️ A 45-minute 1:1 session to walk through the feedback and revise together

This is not a copyedit or grammar review—this is big-picture story work designed to strengthen the emotional, structural, and narrative impact of your scene.

This session will support you because . . .

I don’t just give notes—I help you understand why your scene isn’t landing, and how to fix it.
You’re not expected to be perfect. We’ll shape your scene together in a collaborative way that honors your voice and your vision.
It’s tailored to your goals, your genre, and your story—not a one-size-fits-all critique.

This is for you if:

You’re revising and want to make sure your scene is pulling its weight.
You’re stuck in one section and need outside perspective.
You’re preparing for a full edit or querying and want to polish key moments.
You want professional feedback but aren’t ready for a full developmental edit.
