If you have a specific issue or question you need help working through, for example, “How can I make this character more relatable?”, the 1:1 Clarity Consultation is for you. It works best for issues that can be resolved fairly quickly and don’t require continuous feedback about the process.
If your book/project is something that requires continuous feedback, support, and guidance, such as self-publishing a book, the 12-week program is the best option as it provides numerous opportunities for us to chat, address obstacles/questions and adjust action-steps as needed.
If you’re still unsure, book your free Story Impact Chat and we can talk it out!
