Revising

For writers with a completed or near-complete manuscript who want support refining and preparing it for submission or publication.

What’s Offered?

  • Guided support for refining and completing a finished or near-finished manuscript

    Writing a novel doesn’t end when the first draft is complete.

    In many cases, the most difficult work begins afterward—refining structure, strengthening character arcs, resolving narrative issues, and shaping the manuscript into a cohesive final work.

    This service provides sustained, one-to-one support for writers moving through the later stages of manuscript development. The focus is on helping you bring clarity, cohesion, and direction to an existing draft so it can move toward completion.

  • $1,499 (6-month engagement)

    Includes:

    ✓ Two private coaching sessions per month (12 total sessions)
    ✓ Online video or phone-based coaching
    ✓ Structured revision and manuscript development support
    ✓ In-depth feedback on narrative, structure, and character
    ✓ Ongoing guidance for revision decisions and story refinement
    ✓ Development materials, worksheets, and revision tools

  • This service is designed for writers who:

    • Have a completed or near-complete manuscript

Our Philosophy

A manuscript changes significantly between first draft and final form.

This stage of writing requires a different kind of attention—less about generating new material, and more about refining what already exists.

At Ember & Ink, we understand how challenging this phase can be. Writers often know something isn’t working but struggle to identify exactly what needs to change.

Revision Mentorship is designed to provide clarity during that process. The goal is to help writers see their manuscript more clearly, make confident decisions, and move steadily toward completion.
