WRITING IS DIFFICULT.
On top of it all, there’s the misconception that writers have to “go it alone.” While writing does, of course, require plenty of solitary time to conceptualize and get the words … down … on … the … page, a trusted and proficient editor can have a profound impact on a writer’s ability to produce, shape, and cultivate their work.
As a writing coach, I help writers at all stages of development—from conception to outlining to composing of initial to last drafts.
Many writers come to me looking for structure, motivation, guidance, and constructive critical feedback. They need an editor not only to point out their blind spots, but also to provide clear, actionable solutions and suggestions for how to fix these issues. They’re struggling to start or complete a project—whether that’s an essay or a short story or a book-length manuscript. They’re frustrated by the process, disheartened by rejections from agents or publishers or graduate programs, and yet their desire to share their work with the world endures.
