Book a Mini-Blueprint Strategy Session 
A professional gut-check for your story world, characters, and structure

You’ve written your story. You've built the world, shaped your characters, maybe even revised a few times, but something feels off. 

Or maybe you've only worked on a few opening chapters, or you're starting with a story idea and aren't sure what to do next. Is your structure solid? Does your opening scene hook the reader? Can your protagonist's drive carry the plot? Many writers hit this stage and realize what they really need is a second set of eyes and a clear way forward.

​That’s where I come in.

Whether you’re mid-draft, revising, or starting from an idea, you’ll leave knowing what's working, what needs attention, and how to move forward with purpose. 

Good writers get stuck. That's okay! Steady progress will get you to the finish line.

This $399 Mini-Blueprint Strategy Session includes:

  • Editorial Review of Your First 3,000 Words 
    • Developmental feedback focused on story structure, stakes, and character dynamics
    • Identify what's working, what's slowing your story, and how to prioritize revisions
    • Perfect for writers in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Commercial Fiction
  • ​50-Minute Strategy Call
    • ​Live, one-on-one Zoom session
    • Discuss key story challenges and opportunities 
    • Walk away with a practical, actionable revision plan to help you move forward without overwhelm
  • Momentum & Confidence 
    • ​Leave with clarity about what's working, what needs attention, and your next steps
    • Renewed energy and focus to keep writing with purpose

How It Works:

Who This Is Great For:

  • Writers of Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Commercial Fiction
  • Writers mid-draft who need insight on structure, pacing, or developing stakes
  • Writers revising chapters who want to know what's working and what's holding their story back
  • Writers starting from an idea who want a clear path to draft completion

Bonus: If you're familiar with the Story Grid methodology, we'll speak the same language!
Note: 
  • I work with most genres, and I'm comfortable with dual timelines and multiple POVs
  • I don't work with poetry, erotica, or experimental fiction ​​

Who It’s Not For:

  • Writers seeking line edits or copyediting only
  • Writers resistant to structure, revision, or feedback

Meet Your Coach

I’m Karla Diaz, a bilingual book coach and developmental editor trained by Author Accelerator and Story Grid. I’m also a recovering market researcher who fell in love with the storytelling process while writing my first novel—though it took multiple rewrites to finally figure it out. That experience led me to help other writers build stronger stories from the start.
​
I work with fiction writers at all stages—from brainstorming and outlining to deep revision. I use tools like Fictionary StoryCoach, Story Grid, and Author Accelerator's Blueprint for a Book to help writers develop pitch-perfect manuscripts that honor their voice and meet reader expectations.
