Have you always dreamed of writing a book and don't know how to start? Do you have a completed manuscript gathering dust in a drawer and don't know what to do? Are you stuck in the middle and don't know where to go with your story? Hi there! I'm Sarah, and I can provide developmental editing and book coaching to get your book finished and on the road to publication. With elements of project management and story power, this may be just what you've been looking for. |
Clarify your book |
Chapter Edits |
When you have a great idea and want to get started on a new book, let me take you through building the right foundation. Clarifying the book's mission and story from the start can literally save you years of confusion and hundreds of pages that end up being thrown out.
CoachingUse this option to keep your writing on track as you go. We will set a number of pages to turn in every week or two weeks for feedback. I will help you with the details on the page as well as keeping in mind how each scene fits within the story as a whole.

Submit any number of pages or chapters for a developmental edit. This isn't proofreading. This is the stuff stories are made of - character, motivation, scene structure, overall structure. How is your story working - or not working?
Manuscript EvaluationWhen you have a completed draft and need help on the next steps, a manuscript evaluation is a great option. I will read the manuscript and prepare a summary of both the strengths and the areas of improvement, citing examples from your text. This will be a document of approximately 5-10 pages in length.
