Meagan Church - Editor

Writing a book is an intimidating process. Inviting partners into the journey can help improve your story, so you can better engage your reader.

Are you wondering if:

• Your characters are fully developed?

• There's a plot hole needing filled?

• Your story is engaging?

• You're ready to query agents?

• Your book is as good as your mother tells you it is?

Whether it's an editorial assessment or developmental edits, I can provide feedback and encouragement to help you improve your manuscript and strenghten your story. I am an historical fiction author and freelance writer/editor. For 15 years, I have helped clients tell more effective and engaging stories. I specialize in adult fiction and dabble in a few non-fiction genres.

Each book is unique and I don’t simply bring words to a project. I work to understand your vision, voice, and preferred style. I incorporate my years of marketing experience to speak to and more fully engage the intended reader/target audience.

After receiving a B.A. in English from Indiana University, I built a career as a storyteller and freelance writer for brands, blogs, and organizations, and acted as publisher and editor of a literary journal. Currently, I am the author of two historical fiction novels that will be available from Sourcebooks. This career path has taught me the importance of storytelling and has fueled a passion in me to help others tell better stories.

You have a story to tell. I have an outsider's perspective that can recognize strengths and weaknesses. I'd love to talk about your story and see how we can work together. Contact me today.

When she provided feedback on my novel, her insightful comments helped me tighten up and hone the manuscript's strengths, as well as figure out some pesky weaknesses and what I could do to bolster those.
