EDITORIAL FEEDBACK

Britta believes in a holistic editing process that involves addressing both what is and is not working in your book, as well as identifying if the story concept needs realignment. You deserve her incisive feedback on structure, flow, characterization, setting, point-of-view, voice, and character intentions, so you understand your book’s structure before moving into the more granular aspects of revision.

PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION

If you’re ready to move forward with agent queries or indie publishing, Britta and her team will prepare you for braving the waters of publication. We make certain you’re putting your best work forward with: incisive copy editing, proofreading, layout, and guidance on cover design with a professional designer. She will make sure that you’re aware of all that’s required when going indie and what your options are for increasing your book’s visibility in a crowded book market.

WRITING COACHING

If you’re not yet finished with your manuscript, or that first draft is completely wearing you out, writing coaching might be a great option! Britta offers a free, no-obligation 20-minute meeting to new clients interested in exploring writing coaching and finding the best fit for their current story journey. Your writing coaching journey includes monthly feedback on your work, 1-2 monthly meetings, learning skills to help you become a stronger writer, setting goals and deadlines for the next phase of the work, and reading recommendations to help with developing your craft as an author.
