How to Make Sure Your Novel Works Using the Mini Blueprint

Even If You’re Just Starting, Halfway Through, or Deep in Revisions

Start by Downloading the Mini Blueprint, then watch the 20-minute workshop below.

Clarity Starts Here: Get Expert Feedback on Your Mini Blueprint.

Uncover what’s missing, strengthen what matters, and finally feel ready to start or get back to writing.

Now that you’ve filled out the Mini Blueprint, you might be feeling a mix of excitement… and self-doubt.

Maybe your answers don’t feel as clear or cohesive as you hoped. Maybe you're wondering if your idea is actually good enough. That kind of uncertainty is completely normal, especially when you're so close to the story.

But it’s also the perfect moment to pause, get perspective, and find out what’s really working — and what still needs shaping.

That’s where I come in.

You’ll get focused, in-line notes that clarify what’s working, what needs revision, and how to move forward with confidence.

Because your story can work. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

  • Leslie saw the potential in my book and made the effort to communicate it clearly and effectively. Her feedback gave me a ton of insight into what was working, what needed clarification, and where she saw opportunities to strengthen the work. I now have a clearer picture of what my story can become, and it gives me incredible ideas to really make it pop.

  • I feel so fortunate to have worked with Leslie on my novel! I’d nearly completed my first draft but was frozen with uncertainty as to what to do next. I knew there were problems with my manuscript, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong. Leslie pointed out things about my work that I couldn’t possibly have seen, and her questions and comments were thought-provoking. I feel much more confident now as to what to do as I start the revision process.

  • I found Leslie a joy to work with. She was very supportive of me as a first-time writer, guiding me through the process with great clarity. Without exception, her suggestions were insightful and helpful. I’d wholeheartedly recommend working with her and would love to do so again.
