Developmental and Beta Reading

How I work:
I understand that indie authors are on a tight schedule need to produce.
One of the privileges of independence is not rewriting your book just because the publisher doesn't like it. As an indie editor, that means if something isn't working, we don't scrap the chapter. We find the key to making it work. Most of the time, that means understanding how theme, setting, and character arcs work together. It means making small changes , so the narrative comes together in the end.
I'm big on actionable critique. I don't tell you that something is bad, I figure out why it isn't working and show you where to fix it.
That's my strength, but the formula changes depending on the book. The focus always, is getting a finished book out the door.
I get really into my authors' books. I follow their releases and cheer them on. Need help with covers and publishing? I might be able to point you in the right direction.
Drop me a line if you have any questions.
