Recently I&#8217;m feeling called to a quieter, literary life, which means I may focus exclusively on developmental editing packages for awhile until I&#8217;m a bestselling author and can afford the cabin of my dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some links to things I&#8217;ve made or services I offer, I hope they help!<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Online Course + Mentorship<\/h2>\n<p>A small number of spots have just opened up in my 1-year publishing mastermind, Guerrilla Publishing &#8211; you&#8217;ll get my complete system to publishing bestsellers, personal help and feedback, and a full-year of coaching and support.

I stopped editing years ago but this would be something I enjoy that would also be higher value than just the editing. (I&#8217;m a great editor, but it&#8217;s frustrating to edit a book when the author&#8217;s in charge &#8211; focusing on the commercial aspect, what this book needs in order to be SELLABLE &#8211; is more attractive for me and valuable for authors).

Coming up with plot twists and events is my favorite thing to do (actually drafting is harder for me).

I&#8217;ve seen other services like this for $200ish, but I have a PhD in Literature and I focus on commercial books, which means my help is valuable.
