Scene Work Prompt Kit

This kit is built around two simple truths about writing fiction: 

1. Scenes are the building blocks of novels and stories
2. The hardest part of writing is revision, and revision is about seeing your own work clearly enough to know what needs fixing in the first place. 

The Scene Work Prompt Kit gives you the outside eye you've been missing. It's not meant to do the writing for you (that's the best part for real writers, after all!), but to assist you in the rewriting process. You write the scene. The prompts help you pressure-test it, diagnose what isn't working, and find your way through when you're stuck.

What's Inside

27 revision prompts organized around every stage of scene work:

8 Core Workbench Prompts

These prompts deal in the foundation of the scene, sensory grounding, tension, dialog, and more.

Scene Diagnostic

Answer 5 yes/no questions about your scene and get directed to the right prompt — for when something's wrong but you're not sure what.

How It Works

This kit delivers as a Notion template. When you purchase, you'll receive a PDF with your template link and setup instructions. Not big on Notion? That's okay. Newsletter subscribers have access to a Google Docs version. (And even if you're new to Notion, the kit is designed for writers, not tech people. Setup takes about five minutes and full instructions are included.)

This Kit Is for You If:

— You're a fiction writer who revises seriously and wants a faster way to find what isn't working

— You're curious about AI tools but don't want them writing your work

— You've stared at the same paragraph seventeen times and can't see it clearly anymore

— You don't have a writing group, or your writing group is unreliable, or the one person whose feedback you trust is busy with their own manuscript

What You'll Receive

A PDF download containing your Notion template link and setup instructions. The Notion template includes all 27 prompts, the Scene Diagnostic, and the Scene Anatomy reference, organized for immediate use.

This is the first product in a line that will be rolling out throughout 2026 and 2027, including genre-specific kits and more ways to work on your human-made writing.
