It’s like a powerful mix of expert mentorship, hands-on learning, and a writing group—but better. You’ll get live coaching calls twice a month, direct access to an editor (me!), and thoughtful support from fellow speculative fiction authors working toward the same goal. But this doesn’t mean vague Q&A or unhelpful peer reviews—just targeted help for your actual story, when you need it. This group coaching experience takes a different approach than most critique group arrangements that all too often leave writers scarred for life. Here's what one member had to say about how feedback works in Enchant Your Readers:    

"This program is a MUST for anyone serious about writing a book. Gina was there to review my work at every step, giving me crystal clear guidance for improving what needed improved and validating when I was on the right track. I don't even want to imagine the lack of progress I would have made if I tried doing this alone! I was initially apprehensive about the "group" aspect of the program — you know, the whole fearing judgment and comparison thing — but my fears were unfounded as it was a SAFE community. My fellow writers never judged, always encouraged, and everyone stayed in their lane unless invited to give feedback. Gina sets clear guidelines and boundaries, and it allowed me to become comfortable with putting my work out there. Realizing that other writers had similar struggles made me feel that we were all in it together."

Absolutely. Whether you're planning, drafting, or revising, the program includes tailored tracks and resources for your exact stage. You’ll have immediate access to the Story Grimoire planning system, guided support for building your idea into a draft, and all the coaching and feedback you need to stay on track.

Enrollment is capped at just 12 authors to make sure you get the personal feedback, editing, and coaching you need. When spots are full, enrollment closes.

Plan for two 2-hour coaching calls each month (recordings available if you have to miss), plus 2–4 hours a week writing, editing, or implementing feedback at your own pace. Everything is designed to be flexible, so you can still make progress even if your schedule is unpredictable.

Live sessions (via Zoom) occur twice a month, and each call is two hours so that everyone gets ample direct coaching. Call times are staggered to accommodate different schedules and time zones:  

• The first call occurs on the first Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. CST  

• The second call occurs on the third Thursday of each month at 1:30 p.m. CST  

These sessions are recorded in case you can’t make every call live. In addition, questions may be submitted ahead of the calls. For more in-depth questions, it's helpful if we can talk live. But for looking at pages, providing feedback/edits, etc., you’ll be able to submit materials through our community forum at any time—even if you can't make the next call. 

There’s no homework in the traditional sense. My intent is not to create any extraneous busy work but only to guide you to take action through the most essential steps to a stronger manuscript and provide a focused, hands-on way for you to use your new skills. You’ll get access to tools like the Story Grimoire, Scene Spellbook, and Self-Editing Masterclass to guide your progress—but you set the pace. You’ll get coaching, accountability, and support on whatever stage you’re in.

The short answer is yes. Even editors need editors! If you pursue traditional publishing, your manuscript will be further edited in-house. If you self-publish, you will need to invest in the appropriate edits for your manuscript. However, even traditionally publishing authors often invest in developmental edits to get their work through agent or editor slush piles.

But after this program, you’ll hand over a much stronger draft to agents or invest in further edits knowing your story is truly ready. Even though edits can help at any stage, many authors waste money because they hire professional editing too early. It’s an intensive service and higher investment, so you want to make sure you’re at a point where you can benefit the most from one (instead of receiving an editorial letter that has to basically give you a crash course in writing craft). Enchant Your Readers gives you the skills and support to self-edit effectively, and then full professional edits can get your story that much further once you’ve truly done all you can. More importantly, it helps ensure your story speaks to readers the way you always meant it to—so agents or editors don’t miss what makes it special.    

Enchant Your Readers is $300/month with a 3-month minimum. It’s like having an editor on call, a planning and revision system you can use forever, and personalized coaching and ongoing editing for your manuscript. It’s an investment in your current book—and every book that follows.
