Well, well, well — you want to write a book, do you?
Perhaps you've come to the right place.
Beginning summer 2023, Dallas will offer both intensive storytelling coaching {think of these as topic-focused one-on-one workshops just for you} and manuscript editing, available a la carte or as package deals.
To be considered as a coaching client or for manuscript editing, read the full details below, then fill out this form and Dallas will be in touch within two weeks.
If you're selected to move forward immediately after application, the next step will be a mandatory 15-minute complimentary consultation to ensure that you're a good fit for one another, and to get to know each other a bit before diving into the weeds together.
If you are not selected to move forward right away, fear not! Dallas' schedule allows for finite time to share, and there may be an opening in the future. Should that be the case, Dallas will be in touch and if you still wish to work with her, will book your intro consultation at that point.
>> Is this right for me? <<
Are you ...
Writing fantasy, romantasy, historical fiction, mrrdrr and mayhem, or sci-fi that doesn't involve aliens taking over human bodies?
Writing for a high school and above age range?
An avid reader who wants to become a better storyteller?
Hoping to publish independently or with a small press?
Able to meet digitally in the evening on an Eastern Time US schedule? Please note, this particular consideration will change to allow more time slots in as 2024 goes on!
If you answered "yes" to most of those questions, then it's quite likely we'll get along smashingly.
