Coaching / Editing Services

Stuck in your writing?

Why not get an objective perspective from a writer who's been there countless times? You may find, as I often did, your challenges are process related and surmountable, once defined.

My distinct blend of writing experience and analytical problem solving and management abilities honed over a long IT career can help you get a quick, clear grasp of your project's situation. From there I can help infuse discipline in your writing. Anything from tactical solutions to address immediate issues to strategic plans covering a wider scope, with the support and constructive encouragement of a fellow writer who's been there, multiple times.

While I primarily write fiction, my methods are also applicable to non-fiction, including biography, memoir, essays, even technical writing. Their flexibility makes them adaptable to all stages of writing development, from outlining through drafts into publication, piecemeal or as a whole, depending on your preference.

If this sounds like it could benefit you, send a brief description of your project, its stage, your goals (i.e. submit to agents, self-publish). I'll ask for an excerpt, for which I'll create a candid, objective (and free) assessment that includes recommendations expanding on how I might help.

In addition to coaching, I can also provided thorough proofreading and copyediting services. Again, contact me with a brief description of what you're looking for and I will request a sample for which I will provide a quote.
