Overview
***Currently accepting requests for book coaching and blurb writing. Waiting list available for developmental edits.***
After over a decade editing and acquiring romance novels for Harlequin, I have moved to a freelance role where I am thrilled to help indie authors build the writing career of their dreams!
Several authors I've worked with have won awards, including the National Readers’ Choice Award, the Booksellers’ Best Award, the National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award, the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence, and the Golden Quill Award.
In addition to specializing in romance fiction, I love fantasy and YA novels. Ask me about my favorites!
Through developmental editing, we can help you take your existing book to the next level, or we can work together to develop a story concept, characters, and plot that will engage your readers' emotions and maybe even put you on the bestseller list. This is a fun, collaborative process that will really get those creative juices flowing.
Other services:
I am excited to support you with 1:1 book coaching services over Zoom to help you develop story concepts, plot out your novel, meet your writing goals and vault over any writing blocks. You don't need to do this alone!
I write snappy book blurbs to attract readers to your Amazon sale page and make your story a "must buy."
