![I took some much-needed time off recently, where I was fortunate enough to travel to Scotland to attend a family wedding and soak in some Scottish culture. I even fed some highland coos because…well, they’re highland coos! (Need I say more?)
I had an amazing time, but now I’m back and opening my books for fall projects.
Do you have a story you want to turn into a book?
Are you planning on submitting a manuscript to a publisher?
Maybe you’re self-publishing and focusing on those finishing touches?
Whether you’re looking to submit your work to a traditional publisher or you plan to self-publish, I can help ensure your story is as strong as it possibly can be.
If your fiction story has under-developed or unnecessary characters, a flawed plot, unclear timelines, overly complex ideas, etc., a publisher will not accept your proposal.
If your non-fiction work includes redundancies, unclear explanations, out-of-order sequence, is at a reading level that contradicts your intended audience, etc., a publisher will not accept your proposal.
And if you are self-publishing? Those negative reviews affect your future revenue and reputation (ouch!).
So, before you hit SEND on that publisher email or upload your file for self-publishing, you’ll want to make sure your story is as solid as it can be.
I can help with that.
I invite you to get in touch if you’d like to chat about...
[bulleted list of items]
* a full structural edit pre-publisher pitch OR pre-self-publishing
your submission package
* copyediting your sample
* a manuscript evaluation
* copyediting needs, if you are self-publishing
* book coaching, for accountability/motivation to achieve writing goals
