Map the manuscript potential in your current work.

​

You've put in the hours. You've studied the craft, you've been writing seriously for years, and you have a loose collection that matters to you. Some poems feel complete and may be published. Some are actively being revised. Some are sitting in files, in an indeterminate state.

​

What you don't yet have is the view from outside — the clear-eyed read that tells you what you actually have, what form it wants to take, and where to put your energy to bring it into the world.

​

That's not a failure of vision. It's the nature of being too close to your own work.

 

The Manuscript Map is for poets at this exact inflection point: enough work to feel the pull of a collection, not yet enough distance to see it clearly. In a concentrated engagement, I'll read your current body of work and deliver a rigorous, honest assessment of what's there — the threads, the tensions, the organizing themes — and where the manuscript could go.

​

You'll leave knowing:

• Whether a manuscript already exists in your current work

• Whether it wants to be a chapbook or a full collection (or multiple projects)

• Which thematic direction has the most momentum

• Where to focus your limited writing time right now — and what to set aside 

 

This is for you if:

• You're a dedicated poet with a growing body of work

• You're working toward a first, second, or subsequent collection and feel stuck on its shape or direction

• You need a trusted reader who will engage your work at the level it deserves — not with workshop generalities, but with specific, press-aware insight into what makes your work unique and how it could stand out with press editors

• You're considering the three-month manuscript coaching intensive and want to enter it with a clear direction already in place
