Finally, time for your novel: During this one-week break (individual retreat) in the inspiring tranquility of southern Champagne, you’ll not only develop a concept but also create your very own roadmap—scene by scene—so that bringing your book project to life becomes a reality once you return to your busy daily routine.
We focus on developing a captivating and coherent plot that carries you and the reader from beginning to end.
________________________________________
We structure your project into two phases. The goal is clear: by the end, you’ll have a detailed scene outline and a strong foundation that makes your writing routine easy.
Phase I: The Heart of Your Story – Your Characters
Exciting plots arise from strong characters. We dive deep to understand your characters and infuse them with potential for conflict.
This intensive character work forms the indispensable foundation for your novel: First, you define the external and internal dimensions of your main character, understand their deepest desires and conflicts, and then develop all the other key players—from the protagonist to the antagonist and the (very important!) supporting characters—whose interactions drive the story forward.
Phase II: Your Novel’s Framework – The Master Plan
Now we’ll translate your character work into a solid structure. This framework begins with defining the theme, genre, and central premise of your story. Building on this, you’ll create your detailed scene plan over three intensive modules—a practical, comprehensive roadmap that shows you at any time during your daily writing routine which scene is next.
My Role as a Coach:
As your personal coach, I don’t see myself as a teacher, but rather as a sparring partner and guide.
• Your Focus: I ensure that you concentrate on just ONE task at a time.
. This keeps the focus on your story and prevents you from getting lost in the details.
• Your compass: I offer you a proven structure and tools to systematically develop your ideas, from character depth to scene planning.
• Your sparring partner: I give you feedback on every task you complete and help you identify the blind spots in your concept.
• Your Success Coach: My goal is to provide you not just with a concept, but with a practical roadmap that can realistically be integrated into your daily life, so that after this break, you can begin writing with motivation and structure.
• Online Editing: If you’re interested, our collaboration can continue online later.
In short: You bring your story, I provide the structure. Together, we’ll build a solid foundation for your book idea.
