Story Notes

If you want to deepen your story, but are feeling stuck about how to proceed, consider consulting me for story notes. But what does it mean to have a consultation for story notes?

This is something more than simply editing. Story notes involve a discussion about what you want your story to say, and how to most effectively get that meaning woven into your story. We will analyze the structure of your story, your use of archetypes in your characters, how to enrich the setting of the story.

For this service, you get the benefit of my academic studies for my Master’s degree, as well as the work I did in preparing The Scribbler’s Guide to the Land of Myth.

The object will be to bring your story as close as possible to what you want it to be.
