Do you want to take your story to the next level?
I serve writers through fiction book coaching.
If you have an idea for a story but aren’t sure where to start, I can help coach you through some foundational questions that set you up well through book coaching to write a compelling and engaging first draft.
We can work together at whatever stage you are, from beginning through revision. I offer packages for book coaching to work through the foundation, writing, and revision. We can work at a pace that’s realistic for you and your schedule.
Once you’ve finely tuned your story, finally it’s time for a copyedit. This kind of editing looks closely at each line. Copyediting checks wording, grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and general formatting to ensure your manuscript is in the best possible shape for potential agents
