The VIP Half Day is a virtual 2.5-hour intensive designed for aspiring authors of all genres who are ready for momentum, growth, and strategic insight—all in a single jam-packed session. You’ll work one-on-one with a Lucinda Literary expert in a fully customized experience based on your goals, with in-room exercises and focused discussion.

Before your session, your consultant will review an excerpt of your manuscript, book proposal, synopsis, or pitch so your time together is devoted to meaningful, high-impact feedback on your idea, your platform, and more. 

You’ll walk away with a roadmap to retain what you've learned and keep you moving forward. Whether you’re mid-draft or preparing to query, this session delivers transformative guidance in just one afternoon.  

  🛠️ Why You Need This  

  

Writing a book can feel isolating, confusing, and frustrating. Many writers struggle with:

  ✦  Not knowing where to start or what agents and publishers are looking for.

  ✦  Feeling stuck in the middle of their manuscript without a clear direction.

  ✦  Writing but not making tangible progress towards publication.

  ✦  Doubting whether their work is marketable or if they are 'good enough' writers.

  ✦  Receiving rejection after rejection with no actionable feedback.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Our VIP Half Day is a one-on-one intensive designed to help you break through obstacles and make real, measurable steps toward your publishing goals.

  

✅ What You’ll Gain

  

Before we meet, we’ll review your materials so our time is focused and productive. Then, over the course of our session, you’ll receive:

  ✦  Expert editorial feedback on your manuscript, proposal, or pitch.

  ✦  Progress on your concept, genre, and audience through guided exercises and interactive discussion.

  ✦  A strategic publishing roadmap tailored to your book goals.

  ✦  Our immediate recommendations for what to do next.

This is more than a writing consultation. This is access to a publishing insider and personal attention you will not receive elsewhere, at the most vital stage in the process.
