Package 3: Developing Your Story $2,497
Package 3: Developing Your Story $2,497
So, you've told your story. Now what? Who are you telling it to? Where are you telling it at? (Yeah, I meant that.)
Seriously! Now that you're all done with writing, editing, and proofreading—again and again—what do you do next? What else is supposed to happen? Where do you go? When do you start?
You schedule a consultation with me to find out...now!
If you're considering waiting until your book is all done before you start advertising it, don't. When considering your marketing alternatives, do not wait until the last minute. The life of a book starts with the conception of its idea. At that time, you should already be considering who you're writing for, where they're located, and how to get your story to them.
If you're ready to find out, I can help you:
- Figure out if you're in the space you're supposed to be in
- Whether your mission and their vision align
- How to hit your audience targets
- Why you should set expectations
- Where to find PSA's (Public Service Announcements)
- And much more
This 1.5-hour one-on-one will either help you to realize that you are ready to launch or help you get ready. Find the answers you need before you finish the next item on your Self-Publishing To-Do List. Release your book in confidence, knowing you will get it in the hands of more than just friends and family.
Coaching includes:
- 1 90-minute results-driven book marketing session
- Ongoing e-mail support, motivation, and accountability
This transformational coaching package guarantees results that will prepare you to navigate your next phase of the self-publishing maze. We can draft and execute your plan now, so stop thinking about it (and thinking about it some more). Let's get this done now...before the baby is here and the room isn't ready yet. (*Perfect for any writer who doesn't want to write their book and have to look for readers.)

Listen, we're convinced some people don't want to see us happy. They want to see their perception of happiness projected onto us, and that's a load of bull. Free yourself to live the life you want to write about. Just write it right—the first time!
Writing nonfiction? What's your story? Are you a survivor? Were you once the underdog? Why not tell it yourself?
Because every writer sees things differently, this is a safe place for the pages of your life to be re-defined and chapters to come together again to honor the story you want the world to hear. Recycle the past; your next idea is but one word away. Let me help you write it.
There was a time when I knew I wanted to write. I just didn't know what. Sound familiar?
If that's you, then why not:
- Turn your life into lessons?
- Or, turn your trauma into triumph?
- And, turn your passion into profits?
Do you know what keeps your readers up at night? Have you touched on it yet? Why or why not? How connected are you to your target audience? How close are you to where the pain points live?
Writing fiction? Who's that character you dream about? Why is she or he keeping you up at night? Better yet, what keeps him or her up at night? Do you know your characters as well as you expect readers to? Let's talk about it!
No matter where you are, or what you went through to get there, pen your purpose. Tell the whole truth and nothing but, or create an alternate world where you run everything! Whether fiction or nonfiction, it's your story! You get to tell it! Plus, the world needs to hear it, so let's get together and set some goals, start a new writing prompt, or finish an old one that gets moved farther behind. Go ahead! Treat yourself to a story worth living. Start your next season writing. You'll thank yourself later.
Coaching includes writing, publishing, and marketing strategies. Here's what you'll get in our editorial review after I evaluate and edit your manuscript:
- Writing examples that will strengthen and support the story you're already telling.
- **Publishing insights that will help you rank as high as possible on whatever platform you choose.
- Book launching strategies that will prepare you for the ultimate book release and not just your launch party.
- **Marketing perspectives that work to increase your visibility and prepare you to launch with confidence, intentionality, and sales.
Click the link below for your free 30-minute Discovery Call because a good book can grab anyone's attention, but only a great one will keep it! Let's connect to brainstorm and set goals for you to start living the life you deserve, your best write now. You're worth it!

"Thank you so much for all you did to assist with editing my book and your help beyond editing. I love seeing my book on your portfolio page of your website :)
Working with you was a breath of fresh air.

Your professionalism, expertise, and prompt communication was definitely comforting to me. Thank you!"

I believe that Shaundale Rénā understands and works both diligently and passionately to ensure that the author's story is told in that manner. It has been amazing working with her. This is our second project and she has exceeded my expectations. I'm looking forward to working with her again soon. Thank you so much Shaundale! You're amazing!" www.KiwaniMurray.

"It's not often you find an editor whose professionalism allows her to do her job with excellence, but whose compassion also allows her to see and hear your story with her heart. Mrs. Johnson's expertise in her field was demonstrated in her ability to help me bring my story to life. She was knowledgeable of language patterns and able to recognize where changes needed to be made. Mrs. Johnson very carefully and lovingly reconstructed my story without changing it, and for that I am grateful. It was a pleasure working with her, and I will definitely be working with her again in the near future." Kiwani Murray, Co-Founder Love Yourself, Love Your Sister-Friends (LYLYS)
