There's No Fairy Godmother

Coming to Magicalize You Into Stephen King.

So let's build something real instead.

90-Minute Intensive

$297

You don't need a six-month engagement. You need someone to look at the thing, ask the hard questions, and tell you what to do next.

That's what this is.

Before we meet, you fill out an intake form and send me up to 20 pages of whatever you need me to see. I review it. Then we get on a call for 90 minutes and dig in.

This isn't a pep talk. It's me looking at your actual situation and telling you what's working, what's not, and exactly where to focus next.

You get:

  • Intake form so I understand where you are before we talk

  • My review of up to 20 pages of whatever you send

  • 90-minute call

  • Written action plan delivered within 7 business days

This is for authors who are stuck and need clarity now. Not next quarter. Now.

"I can now see the entire book in my head where before there were just question marks. I'm not even afraid of starting over because I know I have a good foundation and a map."

— Maricella Robles

Big Picture Audit

$1200

You've written the book. Or most of it. Or maybe you've published it and it's sitting there like a sad little island nobody's visiting.

Either way, something's off. You can feel it.

Here's the thing nobody's telling you: it might not be the writing. It might be the positioning. The market fit. The giant gap between what you're building and what your business actually needs.

That's the shit I find. It's kind of my whole thing.

I read the whole manuscript. I look at your business. And I tell you the truth, the stuff your critique partners can't see, your editor isn't paid to notice, and your best friend is too nice to say.

You get:

  • Full manuscript read

  • Written report covering product foundation, positioning, and publishing strategy

  • 60-minute call to walk through everything

  • Recording so you can obsess over it later

Turnaround: 4-6 weeks

If you move into the Strategic Partnership after this, you get $500 off your first month. Because I've already done the deep work.

"I've spent the better part of 25 years trying to figure out something you saw and pointed out after reading one manuscript."

— Deb Boone

Strategic Partnership

$1,000/month (3-month minimum)

You don't need another course. You don't need another podcast episode full of advice that contradicts the last one. You need someone who actually knows your book, your business, and what the hell you're trying to build.

That's what this is. Me. In your corner. Every other week.

We meet for an hour, twice a month. We work on whatever needs working on, your draft, your outline, your launch plan, your "everything is on fire and I don't know where to start." All of it.

There's no curriculum. No twelve-week program with modules you'll never finish. It's fully custom to you.

What clients bring me:

  • A draft that's broken and they can't figure out why

  • A book idea they want outlined in three months

  • Pages every week because they want someone in the work with them

  • A launch that flopped and a business that needs unfucking

  • No book yet, just a business they're trying to build

You get:

  • Two 60-minute calls per month

  • Email support between calls

  • Whatever deliverables you need

  • A partner who sees story and business together

"I was terrified of writing a crappy book. Jocelyn supported me through every step of the process. I finally have a complete draft of the book I'm genuinely excited to talk about for the next decade."

— Dr. Brooke Smith

Questions You Might Have

  • Maybe. Plenty of people publish books without help. But plenty of people also spend years spinning their wheels, collecting contradictory advice, and wondering why nothing's clicking. I won't write the book for you. But if you're stuck, overwhelmed, or building something bigger than a single book, having someone who sees both the story and the business can save you years of trial and error.

  • Description text goes hereMost people separate story and business. I don't. An author business strategist looks at the whole picture: your book as a product, your publishing strategy, and the business infrastructure that makes it all sustainable. I'm not just helping you write a better book. I'm helping you build something that actually works, from the story to the systems.

  • No. This is your book and your business, not mine. My job is to help you build something that works, not to rewrite your vision into something I would have done. I'll push you. I'll ask hard questions. I'll point out where things aren't working. But I'm not here to impose my strategy. I'm here to sharpen yours.

  • You're ready if you're done dabbling and ready to build something real. You don't need a finished manuscript. You don't need to have it all figured out. But you do need to be willing to do the work, hear the truth, and take action. If you're looking for someone to just validate what you're already doing, I'm not your person.

  • It's not. Revision is where the book becomes a book. First drafts are you telling yourself the story. Revision is you telling the reader. Every published author revises. Every single one. The question isn't whether you'll revise. It's whether you'll revise with a clear direction or keep spinning in circles. That's what I help with.

  • Depends on where you're starting and what you're building. A 90-Minute Intensive is one call. A Big Picture Audit takes 4-6 weeks. The Strategic Partnership is a minimum of 3 months, but most clients stay longer. I'm not here to rush you through a factory line. I'm here to help you build something sustainable. That takes the time it takes.

  • Fiction: epic fantasy, urban fantasy, romantasy, cozy mystery, sci-fi, thriller, mystery, romance… What have you got? Nonfiction: business books, coaching and consulting authority books, thought leadership. If you're not sure whether your book fits, reach out. I'll tell you.

  • If you need clarity on one specific thing, book the 90-Minute Intensive. If you have a manuscript and want the full picture on what's working and what's not, the Big Picture Audit. If you want ongoing support, accountability, and a real partner in the work, the Strategic Partnership. Still not sure? Book a free discovery call and we'll figure it out together.

  • That's your call. You're hiring me for professional perspective, not to run your business for you. I'll tell you what I see, what I think is working, and what I'd do differently. You get to decide what to take and what to leave. It's your book. It's your business. But if you're paying me, I'm going to tell you the truth, not just what you want to hear. That's the deal.
