manuscript & coaching services
Welcome to my Manuscript & Coaching Services page! I'm so pleased to be able to provide critique services to others!
Why choose Tif?
I'm a veteran Army officer with a Bachelors in Nursing and a Master in Public Administration in Healthcare Management. I am a Filipino-American, traditionally published author of romance, women's fiction, and soon, YA. I've been a mentor for PitchWars and AWP, and currently am adjunct faculty for Drexel MFA. Before I was agented and published, I spent many years in the query trenches, and all the while I critiqued and beta read other authors' manuscripts. What this all means: I'm empathetic, hardworking, deadline-oriented, communicative, and honest. Take a look at my press kit here.

Manuscript Critique: I will be your very picky beta reader. I will write a critique letter that highlights your plot, pacing, main characters, and setting.

You're ready for Book Coaching when:
- You have decided you want to be published or to publish your book.
- You are open to suggestions and critique of your work, and to have someone with you in this path. There is no substitution for this!
- You are willing to set time aside from your schedule to make writing a priority.
- You can commit to being responsive to emails, and to have a close professional relationship, with a coach that will provide you with suggestions.
- You are motivated to be steps closer to publication!
How do we know that we fit? The following evaluation is free, but only to serious inquiries.
- My specialty is women's fiction, romance, and young adult, but I'm willing to work with writers who write in all categories and genres.
- Submit your query, synopsis or sample of work work up to 1000 words. This is for evaluation and not critique.
- We can jump on a 15-minute call to gauge our personalities and whether they fit, and discuss what your needs may be, and if I am able to provide that for you. This is the "it" factor in coaching.
I have several coaching packages available to include:
- Bronze Level: A one-time thorough assessment of where you are in your path. I will review the first 5,000 words of your book. We jump on a zoom or phone call up to 30 minutes to discuss your work and goals for publication. I will assist you in setting deadlines, and create a general checklist, and will point you to resources. Includes a follow up email. - $300
- Silver: A month-to-month tailored coaching model. Inclusive of the Bronze level *and* full critique of work, to include the introduction of the Chapters Course. Access to Tif via zoom (one time per month, up to 30 minutes) and email (unlimited) for follow up. - $600/month
- Gold: This is a discounted three-month commitment to have me by your side. Includes Bronze and Silver advantages, but with the additional advantage of continuity with Tif and Chapters Course- $1500
