ProWriting Aid
Strategy Session
Understand your ProWritingAid Manuscript Analysis analysis, cut through the overwhelm, and find your next step

You've been at this for a while now.
You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even joined a critique group or two. You can write gorgeous sentence. Hell, you might even have pages that make you cry.
But something's still not clicking.
The structure feels wobbly. Your characters meander here and there and everywhere. And that theme you know is buried in your novel? It's playing hide-and-seek like a toddler who's found the crawlspace under your stairs. Where the hell did they go?

So you jumped at the chance to have ProWriting Aid assess your manuscript.
You need this book to be not just good, not just a page-turner, but right. Because this novel is about more than getting a book deal or being a best seller, it’s about saying something—to yourself, to your reader, and maybe even to the world.

But now you’re staring at your manuscript report
by the midnight-light of your phone,
overwhelmed and uncertain.
What are you supposed to do with this information? How do you know AI caught the nuance that’s meant to make your reader ugly cry? What if it’s just leading you down a wormhole of delusion like all those people you keep reading about?
And even more, can AI understand what this story means to you? How it’s not just a hobby, but an act of self-discovery, healing, and resistance?

AI is an amazing tool,
but it will never be an open hearted, soft skinned, walking contradiction of a human being who can understand what this book really means to you.
When you’re writing a book that’s deeply personal to you, one that grows from your lived experience, identities, and life-long questions, AI isn’t enough to help you sort through your long-buried fears and untangle your story knots. Not in the way you really crave.
You need a human for that.

You need a Strategy Session.
We can’t solve all your problems in one call, but was can sure as hell find your next step.
Hi, I'm Dani Abernathy.
I’m a book coach and Enneagram teacher who helps deep thinkers and feelers write the stories they need to tell so their readers can feel seen and can see others.
I believe stories can change the world, one reader at a time, because they teach us to have more compassion for ourselves and others.
Stories are one of our most powerful tools for having less war and more love, and that’s why I’m on a mission to support folks like you as you write brave stories that tell the truth (even in a fantasy world).
What do you get with your Strategy Session?
Before we meet, I’ll read your full Manuscript Analysis from ProWriting Aid so I can understand the primary obstacles you’re facing in your next stage of writing.
I’ll devour the first chapter of your novel to get a feel for your voice, tone, genre, and the utter deliciousness of your book.
Then, we’ll meet for at least 30 minutes—but probably more like 60—to make room for your feelings, talk through your report, and find the next step you need to take to make this novel one you’re deeply proud of.
Schedule Your Strategy Session

Let me be as real as the
background of this photo.
If I think I can help you take your book from “What the hell do I do with this?” to “This is the story I wanted to tell,” I am 100% going to invite you to work with me.
A 30-minute conversation isn’t enough time for me to understand why this book is so important to you, help you figure out what’s really driving your protagonist, or sit with you while you find the courage to put your truth on the page.
When the most important thing is getting your book right, you need to gift of writing slow and deep.
And that’s what the Rooted Writers Mentorship is all about.
So if you know you don’t want help moving forward, that’s fine, but if you do, think of this as our first date—a chance to see if we vibe, get way too deep too fast, and decide whether I’m just trying to get you to invest in an MLM or some other shady shit.
