Narrative Architecture for Fiction Writers

For writers with an idea or early draft who aren’t sure if the story works yet.

If you’re stuck in brainstorming, unsure what your story is really about, or struggling to bring your ideas together, working with a book coach can help you build a clear foundation before committing to a full draft.

Together, we’ll clarify your core story, strengthen your structure, and develop a narrative architecture you can follow as you write.

What Your Narrative Architecture Includes

What we’ll do

  • Identify your core story and throughline

  • Shape your structure from beginning to end

  • Build a clear narrative progression (your “narrative architecture”)

  • Resolve competing ideas, themes, or directions

What’s included

  • Up to 3,000-word story outline review

  • Structured story questionnaire to guide development

  • Five private, one-hour coaching sessions, held weekly (or bi-weekly)

  • Written feedback on your outline and structural work as I develop your complete Narrative Architecture

  • Email support between sessions for questions and guidance

Deliverable

By the end of the process, you’ll have a complete Narrative Architecture—a structured plan you can follow to draft or revise your novel with confidence.
