Manuscript Development Team

I Need Your Help!

I’m forming a Manuscript Development Team for my new book, the Slow Down Solution.

The Slow Down Solution will help moms with school aged kids to deal with the stress, guilt and exhaustion of trying to do it all. You'll gain a deeper understanding of what's keeping you stuck, and practical strategies for dealing with the most common challenges. You can learn more about the book here.

Here’s how it works: The Manuscript Development Team will receive a rough draft of The Slow Down Solution a couple of chapters at a time, and answer a handful of questions about the text via an anonymous survey. I’m looking for what works, what doesn’t, what could be cut, and what could benefit from further explanation. The focus is the book’s organization, flow, and pace (not line-by-line editing) so I can find and fix any problematic sections of the book before it goes to print.

If you’re a writer yourself, you’ll get a peek into the writing and development process. If you’re a reader, you’ll get the satisfaction of helping launch a road-tested, super helpful book into the world. Either way, you’ll receive your very own copy of the book when it’s published early next year. (And prizes—did I mention there will be prizes?)

The Team will run from 17 August – 13 November 2022. You’ll have about two weeks to read the chapters sent to you by email and complete a brief online survey. Since I know everyone is busy and life happens, I would be so grateful if you could give feedback at least half of the time.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and thank you for considering this opportunity.
