​

Hi writer friend—

It’s launch day!

​
​Fix The Right Thing First is officially out in the world, and I am so damn proud to finally put this book in your hands.

If you’ve ever sat down to revise and thought, “Where do I even start?”
​

If you’ve ever gotten lost polishing sentences while the plot is still made of wet spaghetti…
​

If you’ve ever wished someone would just tell you what to do...

This is the book I wrote for you.

Fix The Right Thing First

A Fiction Writer’s Step-by-Step Approach to Confident Self-Revision

This is the complete system behind the free checklist that brought most of you here. Inside you’ll find:

• the exact order to revise in (“big to small,” but actionable)
• how to spot story issues vs. line-level issues
• what to fix first (and what absolutely can wait)
• examples, checklists, and decision maps
• how to tell when your manuscript is ready for betas, for editors, and for YOU to stop tinkering
• tools to help you revise faster, cleaner, and with way less panic

This is the method I use for client manuscripts and my own books.

I wrote it because writers deserve clarity—not guesswork, not vibes, not twenty conflicting pieces of advice from strangers on the internet.

Special Bonus Inside: Mini Character Arc Workbook

You’ll find an abbreviated version of my Character Arc Workbook included in the ebook.

Thank you

This list has doubled (again), and getting to help you grow as a writer is one of the best parts of my life. Your excitement, your questions, your manuscripts all fuels what I create.

If you pick up the book today, reply and tell me. I’d love to celebrate with you!

Here’s to revising with intention, confidence, and far fewer tears.
