Welcome to Word Bouquet. You have a story but are preparing it for the next step.
I understand. You have an amazing story but for some reason your story isn’t as developed as you see in your mind’s eye.
​
-
Perhaps your characters are running away from each other?
-
Your writing is visceral, but there is no point or forward motion?
-
Your story has lost track of day or time?
-
You are struggling to fill pages to link chapters together?
-
Too much narrative?
-
Dull Dialogue?​
​
I understand that during writing we transport into our story's world and don’t notice the writerly issues.
​
Word Bouquet can help by taking a bird’s eye view of the story, identifying issues, and provide suggestions for solving writerly issues.
This can be done by a developmental edit of part of your work, perhaps a chapter or the first act. I can also developmentally edit your entire manuscript. The other option would be through coaching you through your story. Coaching is coming soon.
