Developmental Editing and Book Coaching for Speculative Fiction Authors
You’ve sweat and bled and crafted a world worth exploring and characters deserving readers to laugh, love, and cry with them.
The next best thing you can do to give your work the best chance for success no matter whether you choose a indie, traditional, or hybrid publishing path is to work with an outside editor.
The right editor for you should love your genre, offer a 5 page sample to prove their skill and see if you’ll make a great team, and should offer suggestions based on professional experience, and never attempt to rewrite your hard work.
They should present their critique in a positive light, with compassion, kindness, and encouragement, and genuinely want to see you succeed.
If they DON’T, RUN. This career is hard enough without bullies!
