Summary of Kayla’s Tutorial Project – Novel Revision & Preparation for Publication


Kayla is undertaking a focused, multi-stage project with two key goals:

  1. Revise her novel manuscript: This would include both structural/developmental editing and chapter-level refinement.
  2. Prepare for traditional publishing: This would include crafting a compelling query letter and synopsis, with the eventual goal of pitching to literary agents.

To support these aims, Kayla is hoping to work regularly with both Christopher Bartlett and Dr. Julian Barr as part of her customized tutorial plan.


Monthly Participation Tier

Kayla is uncertain which Tier of participation will be the best fit yet, but she's open to adjusting her Tier level month-to-month depending on the phase of the project (revision vs. feedback vs. prep for submission). She's ready to invest significant time and is eager to work with both of you to bring her novel to its fullest potential.

Working With Christopher Bartlett:

Kayla envisions an ongoing collaboration focused on revision. This may include reviewing chapters incrementally or conducting an additional read-through of her current draft to identify structural and developmental improvements. The process is still flexible, but she is ready to commit regular time and effort.

Working With Dr. Julian Barr:

Kayla would deeply value your expertise on two fronts:

  1. The mythological component, as she is reimagining the Greek Fates in her narrative.
  2. The world-building and cultural backdrop of her fictional empire, which draws inspiration from Byzantium.

Once her manuscript is complete or near-final, she would also love your input on pitching materials—particularly her query letter and synopsis.
