Making it easy for readers to fall in love with your book
Fiction editing & Book Coaching for authors
Readers are hungry
You deserve to share your story with them
I know you. This story idea that’s been bouncing around inside your head is just screaming to be put out into the world. It keeps you up at night and distracts you from your 9-5. You have notebooks and sticky notes with little random ideas all over your home. You can see the cover, hear the audiobook, and smell that intoxicating new book aroma.
But something just isn’t quite right.
Is your outline looking a little empty? Are you finding yourself revising scenes three, four, or five times instead of writing something new? Have you edited your manuscript so many times you don’t even want to look at it anymore? Are you in love with your story but feel like it’s not the best it can be?
Whatever stage of the writing process you’re in, I can help you turn your hard work into a polished story for all those eager readers waiting for it. Whether you need a book coach to help you complete that first draft, an editor to help you polish up your completed manuscript, or you don’t exactly know what you need…
I would love to help you make your publishing dreams a reality.
You have Needs
How can I take care of them?
Editing Services
For authors with a completed manuscript.
I offer developmental edits, line edits, copy edits, and proofreading. You can choose just one or a combination of services to fit your manuscript and your needs.
Book Coaching
For authors without a completed manuscript.
Book coaching can help you organization your ideas, keep you accountable and motivated, and provide professional periodic feedback on your manuscript as you write.
Not sure what you need?
Self-publishing or Traditional Publishing?
Whatever your path, I can help
Every publishing journey has unique challenges, but one thing is certain. All authors could use an amazing editor on their team. As your editor, I will cheer you on and help you through the editing process, answer your writing questions, and guide you through the self-, indie, or traditional publication path.
But Why me? There are so many editors out there!
I'm more than an editor
I'm your biggest fan
Hello! I’m Ashley, fiction editor and book coach extraordinaire. That sounds fancy, doesn’t it? I guess that’s one way to say that I love stories, writing, editing, and mentoring.
There is nothing I crave more than a good story, but the people I meet and the friends I make on my editing and coaching journeys are the best part.
Your editor or book coach should be more than a red pen and a deadline countdown. They should be an expert, a fan of the genre, and someone you feel comfortable going to with your craziest ideas and messiest drafts. This is more than just a service or transaction.
It’s a relationship.
Your editor should care about your story and care about you. Together, we can get your story published and make sure you don’t sacrifice your mental and emotional health to get there.
I will hold your hand when you need it and kick your behind when I need to. We’ll laugh and cry about your story (and my suggestions) together.
