You don’t need to figure out how to craft a standout story idea by yourself
Get personally guided by a professional editor to craft a high-concept story premise that will help your story stand out from the crowd.
Meet the coach
Mollie Reeder
Mollie is a novelist and developmental editor with deep roots in the publishing industry.
Her independently published novel, The Electrical Menagerie, received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly—a distinction earned by fewer than 10 percent of books reviewed. She also brings a background in screenwriting and film production.
As a developmental editor at The Author Conservatory, Mollie regularly evaluates student manuscripts. She has a gift for seeing what a story needs and communicating it in a way that’s honest and encouraging.
In your child’s 30-minute coaching call, Mollie will:
- Review the concept they’ve been putting together
- Tell them what’s working and what needs strengthened
- Help them identify their most important next steps
This is the kind of feedback that used to require an expensive conference pitch or a private editor costing hundreds of dollars. We’re making it accessible to young writers because we believe every one of them deserves the chance to get real, professional input early in their journey.
