My Book Therapy Mission Statement:
We at My Book Therapy are all about helping the writer help him – or herself. We are a professional story crafting service designed to give writers the tools they need to develop and enhance their craft. We don’t line edit - we footnote your story, giving you suggestions, lessons and examples on how to apply them.
In short, we’ll teach you how to write.
If you are ready to take your writing to the next level, we’re ready to help.
Basic Book Therapy - $345
Our standard book therapy process takes a look at your entire proposal – three sample chapters (up to 3000 words each chapter) plus a five-page single spaced synopsis. You’ll get in-depth feedback on both your story structure and your writing skills and learn how to take them to the next level. For an in-depth explanation read our What is Book Therapy page.
Step by Step Therapy $345
Step by Step therapy is for the writer who need a bit more assistance getting started, finding their voice, and developing a scene. We’ll look at your synopsis (five pages single spaced), for story structure, then give you feedback on the first chapter, with a game plan on how to improve your story. After rewriting the first chapter, we’ll look at it again, and this time give you a thorough evaluation on your writing skills and teach you how to develop them further.
Synopsis Therapy - $165
You’ve fleshed out a story but you’re not sure if it works…or if you’ve captured all the nuances for your editor or agent. We’ll take a look at your synopsis and go deep into story structure, helping you craft an award-winning story. We’ll also give you feedback on your synopsis and teach you how to tighten it and make it shine.
Chapter by Chapter Therapy - $125/chapter
You’ve been through Book Therapy, and now just need encouragement along the way…chapter by Chapter Therapy is for you. We’ll walk you through each chapter, going deep, pulling out those elements to strength, encouraging and teaching. We’ll brainstorm with you, and give you a road map to the next chapter. For as long as you want…it’s your call.
From Here to There Brainstorming Therapy - $125/90 minutes
Have a story idea and just need help laying it out? Are you sure you have all the elements? We love to brainstorm stories – and have a proven method for making sure your story has a solid arc, a black moment, an epiphany and characters that come off the page. We’ll arm you with questions and a roadmap, and then we’ll get on the phone with you for 90 minutes and work with you to map it out, step by step. You’ll leave with a story outline…and a game plan to make it come to life.
