WRITING COACH
Why should you hire a writing coach? Some call us a story consultant, and others may even call us a book guru. We're there like fitness trainers for your writing. I'm Kelly, NJ-based freelance writer, editor, and published author. I love helping my clients craft their tales from start to finish and everything in between. I have writing coach packages starting at $99/month depending on your needs. Contact me today to get a free consultation call! I'd love to work with you.
freelance EDITING SERVICES
I offer a variety of freelance editorial services from query critiques through full MS reviews. As a published writer, I know how important it is to have another pair of eyes. I can provide professional feedback so you’ll know why something in your piece worked, or didn’t work, and suggestions on how you can improve. Contact me if you have any questions about how I can help develop your work.
