The Writer’s Architect, Jeannie Ballew, works closely with you to produce a fully developed blueprint of your nonfiction manuscript. This process helps map the way to completion and ensures that your book will attract both agents and readers.
Together you will plan and structure your message as well as develop features that appeal to your readership. You will also refine a writing style that captures your passion and effectively targets the market for your book.
Since it is a challenge to get organized and stay focused on such a large project when you are writing at home, Jeannie offers a special segment on how to manage time and maintain motivation to complete your manuscript.
Bottom Line: Jeannie helps get your book out of your head and into the world — where it belongs.
