The Pink Ink Author Intensive
An Invitation from the Publisher
There comes a moment in every writer's life when she stops asking Google...
...and starts looking for a publisher.
Imagine this.
You walk into a dimly lit velvet lounge carrying the pages you've been writing at midnight, between meetings, on airplanes, in coffee shops, and in all the private moments when no one else knew your book existed yet.
You order a coupe of champagne. You place your manuscript on the table.
Across from you sits someone who has spent her life turning stories into books.
She smiles and opens the first page.
And instead of asking how many followers you have...
Whether your platform is "big enough"...
Or if your book fits whatever trend is dominating the bestseller list this week...
She simply looks up and says, "Darling... let's talk about your book."
Welcome to The Pink Ink Author Intensive.
A private 90-minute editorial intensive for writers seeking clarity, confidence, and a thoughtful path toward publication.
A bespoke experience where your work is treated with the care, curiosity, honesty, and respect every writer deserves.
Not as content. Not as a product.
But as literature.
Because before your book belongs on someone else's nightstand...
It deserves a seat at this table.
Here's What Awaits You
✦ Your Pages
Before we meet, you'll send me your book (or whatever you've written so far) along with a thoughtful questionnaire about your vision, your readers, and the life you hope this book will create.
Whether you're holding a completed manuscript, a handful of messy chapters, or simply an idea that refuses to leave you alone, we'll begin exactly where you are.
I'll spend time with your work before we ever meet, so our conversation begins with what matters most: Your story.
✦ Our Conversation
For 90 minutes, we'll sit down together and talk about your book.
Not your content strategy or the algorithm.
Your book.
We'll explore what's working beautifully, what wants to become even stronger, and what your story is asking of you.
Depending on your project, our conversation may include:
• Editorial direction and manuscript development
• Book structure and storytelling
• Title and subtitle ideas
• Positioning and marketability
• A conversation around self-publishing versus traditional publishing
• Building your author platform with authenticity
• Launch strategy
• Revenue opportunities connected to your book
• Creating a literary life that extends far beyond a single publication
I don’t believe in templates or one-size-fits-all advice. You won’t be getting canned tips.
Just an honest, thoughtful editorial conversation about the book only you could write.
✦ Your Pink Ink Editorial Letter
Following our conversation, I'll write you the kind of letter every writer dreams of receiving from a publisher.
A personalized editorial letter sharing my reflections on your work, along with thoughtful recommendations for what comes next.
Inside you'll find:
• Editorial observations
• Strengths and opportunities
• Positioning recommendations
• Publishing guidance
• Platform-building ideas
• Strategic next steps
• A suggested timeline for bringing your book into the world
Think of it as the letter I would write if your manuscript had landed on my desk at Pink Ink Press.
It's more than feedback, it’s a document you’ll return to throughout the life of your book.
The kind of letter you'll print, highlight, tuck inside your manuscript, and return to whenever you need to remember where your literary life is headed.
✦ The Pages That Follow
The best questions almost always arrive after the conversation ends.
For 2 weeks following your intensive, you'll have direct access to me via email for continued guidance, encouragement, and support as you begin bringing your Editorial Letter to life.
✦ My Little Black Book
If your journey calls for an editor, cover designer, formatter, or another trusted creative partner, I'll introduce you to members of my personal publishing circle.
You won’t be endlessly Googling or wondering who you can trust.
Instead you’ll have access to beautiful people doing beautiful work.
✦ Perhaps This Is Where We Begin
Not every book is ready for publication, but every book deserves to be taken seriously.
Perhaps you're still writing.
Perhaps you've finished a draft but aren't sure if it's ready to leave your laptop.
Perhaps you're deciding between self-publishing and traditional publishing.
Or perhaps you've been secretly carrying this book around for years, waiting for the right moment—and the right person—to help you see it clearly.
The Pink Ink Intensive was created for this chapter.
It's for the woman who isn't looking for someone to rush her.
She isn't looking for formulas or publishing shortcuts.
She's looking for someone who will sit beside her, pour the champagne, turn the first page, and say,
"Darling... let's see what we have here."
This is where your book receives thoughtful editorial attention.
This is where your ideas become clearer.
This is where confidence begins to replace second-guessing.
And if, somewhere down the road, your book is ready for a full publishing partnership with Pink Ink Press...
We'll already know each other.
Because the most beautiful publishing relationships don't begin with a contract.
They begin with a conversation.
Who This Is For
This experience is for women who know they have a book inside them.
You don't need a literary agent.
You don't need a polished proposal.
You don't need a massive social media following.
You don't even need a finished manuscript.
You simply need a story that won't leave you alone.
One that keeps tapping you on the shoulder...
Whispering,
"Write me."
