Not sure what isn't working in your story? I can help. I'm a developmental editor and I help authors improve their stories. I have an excellent knowledge of story structure, character development, and how to create a vivid setting. I will identify holes in your story, check your pacing, make suggestions for what you need to cut and find what's missing. If you'd like to improve your story, then I'm the editor you need. When I'm done you'll know exactly what is and isn't working in your manuscript and you will have concrete suggestions for how to make your book the best it can be!
Ghostwriter A long time ago, when I was in grade two, my well-meaning teacher told me that I overused the word ‘nice’ in my writing. As you can imagine, my younger self was both irritated and insulted. Somehow my eight-year-old brain thought that nice was the perfect adjective to describe… well, just about everything, I suppose. And anyways who was SHE to tell me how to write? If I wanted to use the word nice, I was darn well going to use it. Fast-forward thirty-eight years and my stories are anything but nice, perhaps in reaction to that very first criticism. I like to write adventures about what people do when terrible things occur. Hm. What would these characters do if the worst thing they can possibly imagine… happened? Let’s put them in that situation and see. I love science fiction and magic, action and adventure, fight scenes, and sweet moments, too. And I’m all about taking the reader along for the ride. So, I hope you’ll come along on this magical adventure. I can’t wait to see where it leads! (I hope it’s someplace nice.) I'm a creative writer with eleven years experience who also works as a developmental editor, so as you can imagine story structure is my jam! Reviews of my stories frequently say that the reader stayed up late reading because they couldn't put the book down. I value my time and energy highly, so I'm only looking for clients who are willing to pay well for the creativity, experience, and skill that I bring to every book that I write. I am well worth it. Looking forward to working with you!
