Are you struggling with a prologue? Whether to add it or leave it out? Whether it’s pulling its weight? Then this service is for you.
Prologues, when done well, are great! They can add mystery and intrigue, set the tone/vibe and writing style, set the location, frame the story. And above all else, make the reader curious. But they’re tricky to get right!
How do you know if your story needs a prologue?
I’m now offering a prologue diagnostic service. I see so many prologues in my line of work, and most of them either aren’t necessary or need a lot of work. Let’s diagnose yours together! Please have your story formatted to double-spaced 12pt Times New Roman with 1″ margins.
Micro Prologue Check: a high-level diagnostic and structural assessment of a short prologue (up to 1500 words). Fee: $70 USD
Full Prologue Check: a comprehensive structural, pacing, and hook assessment (up to 2500 words). Fee: $120 USD
Prologue + Chapter One Bridge: a diagnostic of your prologue AND first chapter to evaluate whether the prologue is necessary or if the story should start with Chapter One (up to 4500 words). Fee: $185 USD
