Why Do You Need a Writer’s Coach?
You will stay highly motivated with the support of someone who understands your vision and is as excited about your project as you are.
How Does the Writing Coaching and Editorial Process Work?
After clarifying your goals, we create a custom-designed coaching plan to help you:
- Determine your audience, vision, and voice
- Clarify your main themes
- Devise a narrative structure
- Develop a timeline for completion
We then interact via phone and email on ideas and rough drafts to help you overcome obstacles and move smoothly toward the completion of your goals.
When it comes to polishing your final manuscript for publication, I perform an in-depth edit to help you:
- Eliminate typos, wordiness, and awkward phrasing
- Deepen the characters or analysis
- Hone the beginning and end for the greatest impact
