What is a Story-Argument support service?
Story-Argument support is guidance that helps you imagine and design your whole book or body of work. While a book coach can help you manage your process and a developmental editor can give conceptual feedback, Story-Argument Support — offered only by ScholarShape! — fuses elements of both services with a holistic structure for creating powerful scholarship: the Story-Argument model.
