Authors grow books for publication at the Writer’s Workshop. The bedrock is editing: the evaluation, revision, and development to write the best book possible. With so much of publishing outside our control, creating what agents call a great read is within our grasp. It starts with the text and moves onward to professional services for discovery by readers, publishers, or agents.

With my help and your good work, agents request your pages. Editors ask for your manuscript. Also, authors publish themselves for maximum control — and so their books need to be discovered, savored, and recommended. We build and refine the book with key services:

• Editing manuscripts on three levels, from development to line editing to copyediting
• Author coaching to create books while learning and practicing skills
• Production editing that publishes completed books for print and ebook editions — including promotion and media plans

You can rely on my 40 years of publishing experience. Together we'll shape your book to entice, entertain and inform readers. When you add a professional to your team, storytelling leads to discovery.
