How can I help you lift your voice to captivate your readers?
Whether you’re self-publishing or preparing to send to agents, you may need support in your writing and editing efforts. How can I help?
Line Editing
- You know your story is there, but you could use the experience of a professional writer and editor to enhance your language, bring out the best of your writing, and ensure your story has a consistent and unique voice throughout. I will help you elevate your writing to captivate readers.
Copy Editing
- Your story is solid, your writing is well-crafted, and you’re almost ready to publish. All you need is a keen set of eyes to ensure your language flows and your readers will remain immersed in your world. I will help you remove any barriers to readability in language structure while retaining your unique voice.
Developmental Assessment / Beta Read
- You have a draft. I will read and evaluate the overall structure, characters, plot, systems, emotional tone, and consistency of your story in its early phases to help you overcome obstacles, remove challenges, and build an exciting, immersive world that enthralls readers.
General Book Coaching
- For both fiction and non-fiction writers, I can help guide you along the publishing journey. Everyone’s journey is different, but there are several steps that each author should take along the way. I have helped authors:
- Integrate worlds into stories rather than information dumping
- Format and publish their books for print and ebook distribution
- Learn to use standard American/English grammar and conventions
- Build plot or book structures around common tropes and/or frameworks
- Express characters and situations with cultural realism and sensitivity
- Build scientific accuracy into their worlds, plots, and more
So… How can I help you?
Let me know where you are in your journey, and we can decide what you need right now or in the future. No obligations, just a quick, free consultation.
Plus, if you believe you need editing services, send me a 1,000-word (~3 pages) excerpt from your story, and I’ll evaluate and edit it for free. This way, we can see if we’re a good fit!
