We love helping writers succeed in your writing journey. We fight for your right to tell your story. we help you shape a strong story, and we work with you to create a plan for the world to experience your book.
We know what it’s like as a writer. Together, we’ve written 8 novels, 3 of them published. One of our team has revised one novel 17 times. That one is still unpublished. So yes, we have a thick file of rejections from editors and agents. We have writing callouses.
We know what it feels like to be in your shoes, staring at a blank page.
We also know what it looks like from the other side of the table, working with writers as an editor. We have recognized editors and journalists working for us who have published nationally recognized articles and publications. We have helped colleagues organize and create literary agencies. We have worked with top agents and marvelous editors. We’ve also helped authors self-publish books.
How We Work:
We specialize in novel editing as a professional book coach.
We also occasionally edit select non-fiction book proposals.
You can schedule a paid one hour consult with one of our lead editors on any topic related to writing or publishing. No homework or pitch war required!
To do deeper work on your query or hands-on book coaching, you can hire us for a short editing session or a long-term engagement.
I’m a member of the Northwest Editors Guild
