Beta Reading

Do you need a second pair of eyes? Well, I have four (with glasses)

Editing

I love dissecting the pages of a manuscript; like a mad scientist’s assistant noticing all the flaws in the stitching (Igor, who put the foot where the head goes?)

Proofreading

Vini, vidi, typo! Allow me to spot the molehill (I’m looking at you alot) on the mountain of your (nearly) publish-worthy work

Storytelling: the art of taking one person’s thoughts, experiences and emotions and transferring them to another, regardless of time and space (synonyms include Jedi Mind trick, hypnosis, temporary disassociation, Vulcan mind meld, quantum leaping, or unsuspecting customer at the interdimensional used Delorian lot)


goal-oriented writing

What are your goals?

 

Do you want to self-publish a book? Great! Do you want to be traditionally published? Awesome! Do you want to wow your friends with an immersive D&D campaign? Fantastic! Think about your writing goals and we can make a plan to achieve them.

Every time you sit down and write something it has intention; you are writing with a final objective in mind: pride in finishing a story, impressing family/friends, commercial success, cathartic soul-searching, etc.

We write words intentionally. It may seem oxymoronic; after all, we intend to have the words on the page derived from the story in our minds. But a fundamental element of exceptional writing is allowing the reader to understand your intention.

Is your narrator supposed to be invisible? Is your book intended to be meta and ironic? Is your main character meant to be likable? Is the prose designed to be wordy and formal? Is your magic system purposefully vague? Does your setting intentionally lack detail to allow the reader to fill in the blanks or do you want the intricate features to be clearly conveyed? These are the types of questions I might ask of you. I am here to make sure your story is exactly how you imagine it and is written so that your readers are transported to the same world.

I write, so do you

I love reading and writing fiction; and I’m thinking you do too (sorry, this site is not intended as a repository for cat-sneezing videos). What I have discovered as a teacher, beta reader and editor is that helping others with their writing feeds my interpersonal and creative soul.

Excelsior!

Fantasy and science fiction are the best genres in fiction. There, I said it; no backsies. I enjoy other modes of fiction too, don’t get me wrong; but there is something magical about a story that takes the edge of reality and propels it outward that will always feed my fleeting attention span. I still remember the lion who whisked me through a wardrobe in fifth grade. To this day, my mind can’t stay out of the clouds.
