Story Blueprints – Policies & Terms

Confidentiality & Intellectual Property

All client materials, manuscripts, concepts, and creative work shared through Story Blueprints remain the sole intellectual property of the client. Coaching conversations and submitted materials are treated as confidential and will never be shared, reproduced, or used without the client’s written permission.

Refund Policy

Due to the personalized nature of coaching services and the reservation of dedicated coaching time, all coaching package purchases are final and non-refundable.

If unexpected circumstances arise, rescheduling options may be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Consultation Policy

The complimentary consultation is designed to ensure that Story Blueprints coaching is the right fit for both client and coach before any purchase is made.

Scheduling & Session Use

Clients are responsible for booking their sessions using the private scheduling link provided after purchase. Coaching sessions should be used within an agreed-upon timeframe unless otherwise discussed.

Clients are asked to provide reasonable notice if rescheduling is necessary. Missed sessions or repeated no-shows may result in forfeited session time at the discretion of Story Blueprints.

Creative & Editorial Guidance

Story Blueprints provides developmental coaching, feedback, and professional guidance intended to support the client’s writing process and creative goals. All feedback is subjective in nature and should be considered as guidance rather than mandatory direction.

Clients retain full creative control and decision-making authority over their manuscripts and may choose whether or not to implement any suggestions provided during the coaching process.

Coaching services are intended to support growth, clarity, and development, but do not guarantee publication, representation, commercial success, or specific creative outcomes.

Privacy

Information submitted through contact forms, scheduling platforms, and payment systems is used solely for communication, scheduling, and coaching-related purposes. Payment information is securely processed through Stripe. Scheduling services are provided through Calendly, and virtual sessions are conducted through Google Meet.

By using this website and purchasing coaching services through Story Blueprints, clients acknowledge and agree to the policies outlined above.
