…but you want to take your story to the next level?
Are you looking for clarity so you can avoid the overwhelm that comes with writing and revising?
I bet I can help. Let’s talk.
If you have an idea for a story but aren’t sure where to start, I can help coach you through story development. This way, you can start well and continue with a firm grasp on your story. Through book coaching, you can write a compelling and engaging first draft with confidence.
Do you have a story you’ve written? We can work together at whatever stage you are at, 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.
Wondering if your story is sound and ready to shop to agents? A manuscript evaluation can help pinpoint areas that can be tightened up or redundancies to cut.
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.
“Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.”
