I help authors fix broken books!
I also do other things, but I haven’t figured out a catchy way to say it all yet. Copywriting is a process for everyone!
I provide developmental editing, structural editing, copyediting, proofreading, and mentoring, along with interior book design and layout, and ebook formatting. While I welcome all genres of fiction, I specialize in science fiction, fantasy, and the interstitial (stories that fit somewhere in between). For nonfiction, I only accept memoirs or pop culture. I also accept flash fiction.
I especially enjoy mentoring. For me, the biggest joys I got from writing were those moments where a writing concept that I struggled with suddenly clicked. It was like the heavens opened and the chorus sang. The whole world would open up, and I could miraculously do so much more with my stories. I enjoy helping other writers find that moment where it all clicks. I love helping writers to be better at what that they do.
Genres and project types: Science fiction (SF), fantasy, graphic novels, comics, scripts, interstitial, young adult (YA), new adult (NA), women’s fiction, middle grade (MG), romance, horror, thriller, action, mystery, comedy, literary fiction, satire, erotica, memoir, self-help, pop culture, blogs, and websites.
Never let anything get in the way of a good story—including the writing.
