Beta readers are amazing, no doubt about it. They're a big part of the editorial process. But frankly, most of them are either family, friends or coworkers that want to genuinely help you out but might not know what to really read for. They could clock a bunch of typos (we've all been there!) but not see the bigger picture such as if your chapter needs to be changed entirely. 

Or, they may know what to read for but not be able to explain what they're feeling and why.

That's where I come in. I've got almost two decades under my belt of diving deeply into stories with an eye towards making them as irresistible as they can be -- from the macro to the micro, from characters to plot, from themes to emotional dynamics. 

These are skills I've honed from teaching, reading, and mentoring hundreds of writers. And I'm bringing the full breadth, depth, and scope of that to your story.

Once I finish reading your manuscript, you and I will hop on your Editorial Call where we'll discuss every aspect of your book. And then we'll brainstorm and come up with solutions together. 

I'm going to ask you a ton of questions because I truly believe that you already have the solution within. But I'm going to help you bring it out, refine it, and make it work. 

You'll also get personalized Editorial Action Plan so you know your exact next steps to take to tackle your revisions.

1. It's probably better than you give yourself credit for. Writers are soooo hard on themselves. 

And 2. I got you! This is why I'm here. This is why you hired me. Your story doesn't have to be "good." It just has to be down on paper where I can read it and help you turn it into a masterpiece.

Absolutely not! Not only is that very unethical, but I would never ever feed your hard work to some machine that'll later hack it up into parts and feed it to anyone. 

Also, AI will never be able to give you the edit you truly need. It doesn't have the scope or nuance or forward and out-of-the-box thinking required to seriously develop and edit your story. 

But I do. ❤️

Yes. Because emotions like that can't stand up against clarity, competence, and strong decision making. And working with me will give you all three.

This is not a line edit. If you'd like a professional, insanely amazing line edit, I wholeheartedly refer you to Rachael Waldburger, the newest team member of The Empowered Writer. 

She's got a WEALTH of experience in this area and if you want a line edit that misses nothing, you need to absolutely work with her.
