WHAT IS A WRITING COACH?

A writing coach is a mentor who encourages and teaches. Understanding the why’s behind the writing rules can strengthen and tighten writing skills. I believe the backbone behind every rule is clarity. As a writer, you have a message to get across. Your job is to make that message as clear as possible. My job is to help you do that.

WHAT IS AN EDITOR?

Editors do a little of everything. Sometimes they ghostwrite. Other times they spot developmental problems in the story arc, the characters, or the flow. They correct grammar and punctuation.

I believe everyone has a story to tell and a unique way in which they want to tell it.

I’d love to come alongside you whether you’re writing fiction, nonfiction, have just begun your writing journey, walked the path awhile, need a coach, or just another set of eyes.

I CHARGE

$45 an hour for coaching/editing/ghostwriting

I charge hourly because projects and skill levels vary. I don’t want to overcharge per page for a project that takes less time. The more work you’re willing to put in, the less you’ll end up paying me. To give you an example of my editing style and see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free edit with comments of your first page.
