Unleash the Power of Your Manuscript with RAD Notes Book Coaching
As a speculative fiction writer of Young Adult & Middle Grade literature, you have the power to awaken and inspire young minds. But are you struggling to break through the barriers of the publishing industry? If you are, fret not. At RAD Notes Book Coaching, we will help you overcome the challenges of traditional publication.
Overcoming the Rejections
You’ve poured your heart and soul into your manuscript for months, even years. The celebration was epic. Your writer groups and beta readers gave you the go-ahead to start the pitching process, then bam, you’ve hit a wall with the publishing gatekeepers. We know it’s hard, so we will help you push through and continue working to get your book published.
Understanding the Road to Publishing Success
In our experience, pitching to agents is a tough road, and rejection is the result of several factors. You must capture an agent’s attention quickly because the reality is many agents receive hundreds of unsolicited queries a week. But fear not! RAD Notes Book Coaching is here to help.
Unleashing the Light in Your Story
We specialize in finding the developmental issues within your story and helping you create an unforgettable pitch package geared to make your manuscript stand out to agents. Our expert book coaching services are tailored to your unique needs and goals, ensuring that your story shines through the darkness.
Why Work with RAD Notes Book Coaching?
Hi, I’m Rebecca A Dolence, a Certified Author Accelerator Book Coach and writer. I know firsthand how hard it is to (1) write a novel and (2) feel the rejection of the publishing gatekeepers and the heartache attached to those rejections.
I know how vulnerability feels, to put your heart into a story for all to see and criticize; and even after feeling all of this, I understand on a deep level the reward of completing a project so dear to the heart and the personal success in knowing that I accomplished something most only talk about – writing a book.
If you have lost your unique writing style and feel you’ve locked your skeletons deep within the proverbial closet, let me help you find the key to unleashing the writer you are meant to become and bring the change you wish to see into this world.
RAD Notes Book Coaching serves agent-rejected Young Adult & Middle Grade speculative fiction writers who have poured their heart and soul into writing a novel, only to suffer through the anguish of consistent rejections from the publishing gatekeepers. We offer a developmental audit to determine where the story falls flat and why agents might stop reading. After the audit is complete, we will create a revision plan that improves your story, so you feel confident heading back into the pitching arena.
Our Coaching Philosophy
RAD Notes Book Coaching is an all-encompassing fiction book coaching service dedicated to empowering writers so they may awaken the story that burrows in their dreams.
Testimonials
Finding trusted readers and coaches is a must for writers learning how to advance their work. Rebecca is a pro with a deep understanding of character development, a broad knowledge of how plots are structured, and plenty of empathy for writers working through the many challenges posed by pesky manuscripts.
-Malayna Evans, Author of The Jagger Jones Series and Neferura
Rebecca is the kind of coach who yields results: she told me that my book needs to be out in the world, she told me what she loved about it, and then we got to work addressing the characters, scenes, and plotlines that could be better. Rebecca asks the right questions to make characters real and craft stories that stick to readers’ bones. If you’re in a spot where you need to get unstuck, or need a fresh set of eyes (and a fresh brain!), or you simply can’t put your finger on what’s missing from your story, you want Rebecca on your team!
-Amy Potts-Ostrowski, Middle-Grade Teacher
Rebecca has a keen eye for detail and an unparalleled ability to provide constructive feedback. Her Stoplight Strategy approach allowed me to navigate the complex landscape of my manuscript with clarity and purpose, and her advice on character development was game-changing, making my characters relatable and engaging for young readers.
Rebecca’s attention to detail, especially regarding real-world references and maintaining the story’s timeless quality, was spot on. Her insights on addressing loose ends and action scene flow were invaluable.
I am grateful for Rebecca’s expertise and the way she immersed herself in my manuscript, providing me with a roadmap to elevate my work. Her passion for storytelling shines.
-Angie Andriot, Artist, Writer, Editor, and Spiritual Director in Training
It doesn’t matter what your favorite writing genre is…. fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, romance, or mystery, Rebecca sees the larger picture. From the attention grabber opening line to a workable plot and even pacing, she’ll make sure everything flows well. With her eye for details, she’ll find those nagging problems others have missed. I’m thankful for all the help she has given me.
-Emily Elliff, Author of the Marty and Marie Cozy Mystery Series
