I’m Annalisa Summea,
Have you ever imagined holding your finished novel in your hands, feeling the weight of your words, and knowing you’ve finally done it? That dream you’ve had—of seeing your name on the cover, your story out in the world—is closer than you think.
I know how overwhelming it can feel. The endless drafts, the self-doubt, the procrastination that creeps in every time you sit down to write. Maybe you’ve started your novel a dozen times, only to get stuck and leave it unfinished. Or perhaps the idea of starting feels so daunting that you haven’t even put pen to paper yet.
I get it. Writing a novel is no small feat. But Her’s the Truth: it is possible.
In fact, in just 90 days, you could be holding a completed draft of your novel. And I’m here to help you make it happen.
I’ve spent decades in the world of writing and publishing. I’ve written for some of the most respected local, national, and international publications. My work has been featured on The New York Times, PBS, Huffington Post Live, and even a Telly Award-winning CBS television show.
But beyond my own writing career, my greated passion is helping other writers finish thier stories. I’ve taught aspiring authors around the world, spoken at writing conferences in cities like New York, London, and Paris, and guided countless writers to not just start their novels – but finish them. My award-winning book, Storytelling for Pantsers: How to Outline and Revise Your Novel Without an Outline, has become a trusted resource for writers who want to craft compelling stories without getting bogged down by complicated processes.
I’ve seen it all- The fears, the doubts, the excuses – And I’ve helped authors like you overcome them, one word at a time.
Let’s be honest: the hardest part of writing is often ust getting started – or staying consistent enough to finish.
Every time you put off writing, every time you say “I’ll do it later,” you’re letting your dream slip futher away. The longer you wait, the harder it feels to begin. Ideas fade. Momentum stalls. And worst of all, the nagging sense of regret grows louder.
I don’t want that for you.
Imagine one year from now. You would still be stuck in this cycle – Thinking about your novel but never finishing it – or you would be looking back at the moment you decided to go all in on your story.
Which will it be?
This isn’t just another writing course. TYhis is a proven, structured program designed to help you finish your novel in 90 days.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Clarity and Direction: No more staring at a black page. I’ll guide you step-by-step to turn your ideas into a clear, actionable plan.
- Accountability: Writing can feel lonely, but you won’t be doing this alone. With my guidance, you’ll stay on track and motivated every step of the way.
- Confidence: You’ll learn tools and strategiest to overlook writer’s block, silence your inner critic, and keep moving forward – even on the tough days.
- A Finished Draft: In 90 days, you’ll have something tangible- a completed manuscript you can refine, polish, and eventually share with the world.
Let me ask you: what’s the cost of staying where you are?
- How will if feel to look back years from now and realize you never gave your story a chance?
- What if the story that could change someone’s life – maybe even your own – stays locked inside your mind?
- How long will you let fear and procrastination stand in the way of your dream?
I know these questions are hard to face, but they’re important. Because the truth is, the only way to move forward is to take action.
This isn’t just about writing a novel. It’s about proving to yourself that you can do it. It’s about turning your dream into reality and sharing your voice with the world.

How To Get a Manuscript Request in Twenty Minutes
How To Get A Manuscript Request in Twenty Minutes
Do these statements ring true for you?
- You struggle to finish or publish your book.
- You feel like you’ve tried everything: you’ve read the books, taken the classes, attended the workshops, read every article that exists on the internet about how to write and get published.
- You feel frustrated or incompetent because you haven’t been published yet.
You’re not alone, writers. I work with many writers to get past these very same issues, and today I want to share with you how I helped one of these writers finally get published.
When Barbara came to me, she had done the work–oh boy had she done the work. She even had an MFA (a Master of Fine Arts), which many writers consider to be the pinnacle of a writer’s career.
But the problem with an MFA is though the classes teach you how to write, they fail to teach you how to publish.
In fact, one of the biggest complaints the agents I work with have about MFA writers is their manuscripts are cookie cutter. Most agents can sniff out an MFA manuscript from a mile away. They’re all the same, which doesn’t give them that edge to be publishable.
This was Barbara’s issue: she had a great concept, but needed to break out of the MFA mold and transform her manuscript into something agents would scramble to represent.
Barbara and I worked on revisions over the course of several months. During that time, I was in conversation with several agents about Barbara, her manuscript, and how to position her book for optimal success.
What was incredible about working with Barbara is for the first time in her writing career, the revision process was not a stress-ridden nightmare for her, but enjoyable. Barbara and I laughed together during our meetings and enjoyed each other’s company, because she finally felt she was on the right track to publication.
When Barbara finished revising, I sent her synopsis to an agent I work with frequently. Within 20 minutes of reading the synopsis, she asked me for a full manuscript.
Let that sink in.
20 minutes.
Have you waited days, weeks, even MONTHS to hear back from an agent–only to get a “no thanks, not for me”?
Imagine getting a yes in 20 minutes.
Many would-be authors spin their wheels for years trying the same things over and over again, hoping for new results. Worse: they piddle their money away one workshop, one class, one MFA at a time.
Real results ARE possible, but you’ve got to be willing to take the right steps.
I work with authors who are coachable–so eager to publish that they’re willing to put in hard work.
The authors I work with authors every day are tired of spinning their wheels, ready for real results, and ready to invest in themselves in order to get there.
I work with authors who take writing and publishing seriously without taking themselves too seriously.
If that sounds like you, and you’re really ready, I’ve opened some spots in my calendar to talk with you about where you are, where you’d like to go, and how you can get there. Click here to choose a time to book yourself directly into my calendar, and we can hop on a call and chat.
Until next time. Happy Writing.
