Professional Editing & Coaching
Are you looking for a professional to talk through and bounce ideas off of other than your friend, agent, or editor - someone who understands how to work with your manuscript at the developmental level?
Perhaps you’re making good headway on your paper or book, but you just don’t know if it will play well with the literary magazines you haven’t a clue how to find or contact?
Or maybe you’re feeling stuck, unsure of your work’s potential, and at a loss for how to move forward with confidence?
Sometimes when we’re trying to organize our lives as writers, and bring our projects to fruition, we need a little guidance and accountability along the way. It’s easy to second guess yourself and get side-tracked, becoming lost in a sea of ideas and recommendations, without any sense of direction or surety as to what applies to your particular situation and approach to writing. But with a good editor and coach who knows how to push you and your writing in just the right ways, and can help you get it in the right hands, you can get back on the right track and submit with confidence.
