Personalized support for your revision journey.

Revision Strategy Sessions

Personalized support to craft a comprehensive revision plan.

Here’s how it works:

Step One: Outline Critique & Manuscript Check-In

I’ll provide detailed comments on your story’s synopsis addressing the following fiction elements:

  • Plot/Structure

  • Conflict

  • Character arcs

  • Transitions

  • Genre conventions

  • And more!

I’ll also take a peak at your manuscript to identify stylistic issues that will need to be addressed in revision and have you fill out a questionnaire to help establish your writing goals and the type of feedback you need.

Step Two: The Coaching Call

We’ll spend up to 90 minutes discussing my feedback, prioritizing your revision to-do list, and coming up with a comprehensive, step-by-step plan for your entire revision process. We’ll set realistic deadlines and make sure you feel confident about your next steps.

I’ll adjust the call to meet your individual needs, but in general you can expect us to:

  • Discuss each step you’ll take in the revision process

  • Determine which fiction elements you’ll need to prioritize in revision

  • Identify background tasks to support your revision process (e.g. character development, additional worldbuilding, etc.)

  • Create a schedule for your revision process with realistic deadlines and benchmark goals for you to hit

  • Develop a plan for you to get feedback at key points during the revision process

~ Featured Testimonials ~

  • I've been writing for many years. Olivia is the best development editor I've ever had the privilege of working with, bar none. Her deliverables are comprehensive and immaculately detailed. She found so many insights in the novel and provided a very clear roadmap as to how to address them. If this book has a chance in the marketplace, a significant portion of its potential will be due to her stewardship. I cannot recommend her services enough and I've been eagerly spreading the word about her expertise to all of my writing peers.

    Matt Savelloni, Screenwriter (Crime/Thriller)

  • I was astonished by the amount of work Olivia put into the developmental edit of my book. I found her feedback to be exactly what I was looking for-- it was encouraging and critical. She illuminated areas where the book could be improved and provided concrete suggestions for how to approach revisions. It always felt purposeful and connected to the story I was trying to tell. And perhaps even more importantly, Olivia helped me see the places where the book was working and could be pushed further. Writing a novel is such a daunting task, it really helped to receive professional optimism and genuine enthusiasm for my story.

    Kevin Daly, Aspiring Writer (Epic Fantasy)

  • Olivia was a huge help with my manuscript. The feedback, tips, advice, book recommendations, and outline suggestions were priceless. I definitely recommend her for all forms of editing (She also did the developmental edit for my book, too. This was equally amazing). I plan to call upon her in the future for any new projects that pop up. 100000/10 would recommend!

    Trina Dunn, Upwork Client (YA Fantasy)

  • Olivia's feedback has been so helpful as I navigate the revision process. Her keen eye and insightful comments shine a light on areas for improvement that I hadn't even considered, helping me to take my work to the next level. What sets Olivia apart is her ability to provide constructive criticism while maintaining a positive and encouraging tone. She not only offers specific suggestions on how to strengthen my writing craft but also celebrates the strengths of my story. Working with her is an absolute pleasure.

  • I hired Olivia to beta read a partial manuscript that I have been really stuck on. She was very helpful with her feedback and suggested a lot of alternatives and comments for things I had my own questions and doubts about. Her feedback is going to help me a lot in my next revision of the story, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again! Definitely recommend working with her!

    Alyssa Blackmon, Upwork Client (Fantasy)

  • Olivia really took my story to the next level in a way I had never imagined. She was thorough, specific, and comprehensive in her feedback. I can't thank her enough for how enlightening it was to have someone who had fully devoted themselves to my story reading it and giving it all their attention. My plan is to return to Olivia for any projects I write in the future because I truly think she's provided a service that was leaps and bounds beyond what I expected for the price and timeline, it's genuinely mind-boggling quality.
