  Developmental Editing, Copy Editing, Proofreading, Query Letters, Publishing (traditional, self) Mentoring. I help writers of all levels organize their fiction/non-fiction projects from conception to submission. Our stories are compiled of hundreds of snippets to be sifted through in order to create an exceptional narrative. The task of building and keeping track of story details can be overwhelming. It is important to focus and learn how to tell your story in the most compelling way. The list of useful step-by-step techniques my clients acquire includes: - Choosing the right material based on the project's purpose. - Refocusing the narrative to create the most effective story. - Characterization and the best way to showcase the people in narrative. - Creating scenes and sequels. - Using dialogue for character and story development. - Agent/Publisher research. - Query letters. - Synopsis development.
