Two writers, one bad attitude. We are AK Nevermore, author of twenty (and counting — oops! she just popped out another one) spicy dystopian, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance novels, and Lori Walker, essayist and editor. We combine forces to offer group coaching, 2:1 mentorship, full-manuscript reviews, and what we’re calling spitball sessions. For all offerings, you’ll receive feedback from both AK and Lori.

Spitball Sessions

$76 per session; book as many as you’d like!

Neither of us is very good at coming up with outlines, but we excel at flinging stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks.

If you’re stuck on where to take your manuscript, we’d love to be part of the conversation.

Send us 1,200 words max and some questions and we’ll mix cocktails and hop on a 60-minute Zoom call to discuss the possibilities of where you might take your story.

The Fine Print

  • No guarantees of publication. We’ll help you make the piece stronger, sharper, and more you—but we can’t promise how editors or agents will respond.

  • Payment is due in full before the project begins. We accept Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.

  • Rush rates available on request.

  • We reserve the right to decline projects that aren’t a good fit. No hard feelings—it’s about making sure we’re aligned. We can tell you right now though, we are not a good fit for poetry, overly experimental/conceptual prose, or how-to non-fiction. Nothing wrong with those genres; they’re just beyond our wheelhouses.
