Pricing
Choose the help you need for where you and your story are today.
Each Story Salon package is built for a specific stage of the book-writing process —
from uncovering the heart of the story, to staying in motion, to diagnosing a complete
draft, to refining the line-level voice once the manuscript is already holding together.
