I understand, which is why I created coaching and editing services for you. At Word Bouquet, I can help by taking a bird’s eye view of the story, identify issues, and provide suggestions to solve writerly issues. I also offer beta and sensitivity reading.
​
I help writers through coaching and developmental editing. My fiction specialties include editing teen novels (YA), upper elementary books (MG), picture books and women's fiction. My nonfiction editing includes sports and education.
After decades of working with students, my skills are open to private clients. Since my background involves young to adult students, rest assured that I approach you and your story with kindness and sensitivity. Hope to see you in my garden.
