PUT YOUR BEST ROMANCE or WOMEN’S FICTION BOOK FORWARD
Editing + proofreading services for self-publishing romance and women’s fiction authors who want five-star results
Congratulations!
You’ve just typed ‘THE END’ on draft number one, five or thirty-seven (or more) of your manuscript.
This great achievement comes with excitement, relief, and for most of us, overwhelm and fear.
Do you fear submitting your words to an editor, assessor, critique partner or beta reader?
Do you fear rejection?
Do you fear your words aren’t good enough?
Are you struggling to find the time needed to polish your precious words?
Do you want to work with a professional editor, but you don’t know how it works?
Are you overwhelmed and stressed and ready to throw your words in the bin?
Does this sound like you?
If you said ’yes’ to all or any of these questions – I’m here.
I’m here to provide gentle, constructive and insightful feedback and edits … and a lot of suggestions to improve, not change your story or voice.
I’m here to be a part of your team, to nurture your story and allow your natural writing style to shine.
