Book Coaching, Editing & Proofreading
From your first idea to your finished book, I can help you bring your story to life.
Everyone has a story to tell.
Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of writing a book. Maybe there is a story inside you that you’ve wanted to share for years. Or maybe you have already started writing but don’t know where to go next.
Whatever stage you’re at, I can help you turn your ideas into words and your words into a story you can be proud of.
As an independently published author, I understand the journey because I’ve been on it myself. I wrote my debut novel, Katie, A New Chapter, in 2020 and have since published books for both adults and children.
Now, I use my experience to help other people tell their stories.
Your Story. Your Voice. Your Book.
Writing your story can be exciting, but it can also feel daunting.
You may have lots of ideas but no clear direction. You may be struggling with your plot, characters or structure. Or you may have finished your manuscript but need another pair of eyes to help you improve it.
That’s where I can help.
My book coaching, editing and proofreading services are designed around you and what you want to achieve.
I won’t take over your story. I’ll help you find the confidence, clarity and direction to tell it in your own voice.
Book Coaching
Perhaps you have a story in your head but don’t know how to get it onto the page.
Through book coaching, I can help you explore your ideas and develop them into a clear writing plan.
We can work on:
- Finding and developing your story idea
- Plotting and structuring your book
- Developing characters
- Planning chapters and scenes
- Finding your writing voice
- Overcoming writer’s block
- Building confidence in your writing
- Staying motivated and moving your story forward
You don’t need to arrive with a perfect plan.
Sometimes, you need someone to listen to your ideas, ask the right questions and help you discover the story you want to tell.
Editing Your Story
If you’ve already written your manuscript, I can help you look at it with fresh eyes.
Manuscript editing can help strengthen your story while preserving the voice and personality that make it yours.
I can help with:
- Story structure and flow
- Character development
- Pacing
- Clarity
- Consistency
- Sentence structure
- Grammar and punctuation
- Spelling and word choice
- Readability
My role isn’t to turn your story into someone else’s book.
It’s to help your story shine.
Proofreading Your Book
When you’ve spent months or even years writing your story, it’s easy to stop seeing the small mistakes.
A professional proofread provides a fresh pair of eyes before you share or publish your work.
I can check your manuscript for spelling, grammar, punctuation, typographical errors, capitalisation, consistency and formatting.
It’s the final step that can give you confidence in your finished manuscript.
From Plotting to Production
You don’t have to know exactly what you need before you get in touch.
🙃Are you at the very beginning, with nothing more than an idea?
😵💫Have you written a few chapters and need help finding your direction?
🤔Is your manuscript complete, and you’re looking for book editing or proofreading before publication?
Wherever you are on your writing journey, we can start there.
My Story
I know how powerful it can be to put a story into words.
My debut novel, Katie, A New Chapter, began with an idea and experiences I wanted to explore through fiction. Writing it opened the door to a completely new chapter in my own life.
Since then, I’ve written and independently published books for adults and children.
Now I want to help others discover the confidence to tell their stories.
Your Story Is Worth Telling
You don’t have to be an experienced writer.
You don’t have to know everything about publishing.
And you don’t have to write your story alone.
Whether you want to write a novel, share a personal story through fiction, create a children’s book or turn an idea into something real, I can help you take the next step.
Your story matters. Let’s bring it to life.
