My writing heavily focuses on creative living, as well as writing and editing tips for fiction and nonfiction. Need an article about wellness, creative living or writing? I’m your girl.
In high school, I knew I wanted to edit books for a living. So, having opportunities to partner with writers who tell great stories—both fiction and nonfiction—is an absolute dream come true! Contact me about editing.
I offer book editing services and author coaching, as well as copywriting for websites, blogs, and magazines.
If you are looking for professional feedback on your completed manuscript, this is the product for you. I’ll do an in-depth review of your manuscript, provide feedback on character development, plot, pacing, story arc, and more as needed. This feedback can then be used to further revise your manuscript.
*Note: The Manuscript Critique does not take the place of a full book edit. A full edit is highly recommended after the completion of this service.
