That trial by fire has given me not only a unique perspective but an intense drive that sees me through each book I publish, each client I take on, and each project I spearhead.

I’ve been through it all from the days the words flow, to the days the words don’t, through the successful releases, and the all out flops. I have built not only a passion for helping authors reach their successes, but a career in Marketing that even has me sitting at a desk in an office building, leading a team and guiding businesses on their path to success. Let’s work together and transfer my knowledge, my successes and yes, even my failures, into a powerhouse that will shoot you to the stars.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1483549228990{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” active_section=”” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Author Coaching” tab_id=”1483549193277-ca64e883-0e8c”][vc_column_text]Do you have an amazing idea for a story, or have you been rising your heart out for months and keep finding yourself in dead end after dead end?

Whether you’re writing a children’s book, a novel, a memoir, an essay, a blog post, or a nonfiction book, sometimes it’s helpful to get the perspective of a publishing professional before you share your writing with the world.

When you sign up for a Writing Review & Critique, you’ll get objective insight on your project, either general comments on the project and writing as a whole or feedback focused specifically on the very questions you want answered (ie: Is my project any good? Is it meeting my objectives? Is it marketable? Does the structure work?)

If you have any questions about the differences between edits, reviews, and beta readers, please check out my you tube video!

A Critical Review includes an in-depth look at the following:

  • Characterization. Are your characters formed well, are their growth arcs clear, is their personalities in line with dialog, are they consistent.
  • Plot. Is your plot well developed, is cohesive, does it have any holes, do you perceive any holes in the future and how do you plan to work through them. Does your plot make sense from a readers perspective.
  • Flow. How is the flow of you work, is the “up-down loop” well played and timed correctly? Are the characters motivations working in time with the flow and plot of your story.
  • Redundancies. Every author has a tendency to repeat themselves. We find these traps and eliminate them, giving you the tools to avoid this common pit fall in the future.
  • Storytelling. The biggest part of any work lies in the story telling, are you using the right tools to tell your story? How can you improve?
  • World Building. Even if you are not building a fantasy land, the simple act of a character walking into a new space requires word building. How are your descriptions? Are your readers getting lost in your work, or getting confused?
  • This and so much more. Seriously, if I listed it all, we would be here all day.

Writing Reviews & Critiques include the following:

  • A pre-session chat (via text or Skype) so I can get to know you, understand your writing style, your concerns, and  gain a clear picture of what you are looking for.
  • A critical content edit of your work (minimum 10k words) in which I will rip through it, notating and commenting. This includes a detailed review of each chapter, giving detailed feedback and ideas.
  • At completion we will have another 30-minute phone or Skype follow-up session to discuss the notes and put you on the right path for completion.
  • A one-page follow up review, after changes have been made, to gain more feedback and ensure you are still on the right path.

Did you know that’s what I do for my day job? Digital or Social Media marketing is my passion.
