EDITING
Writers in all genres and at all levels of expertise will benefit from working with a professional editor.
An editor is a fresh pair of eyes who reads and responds objectively to your manuscript. Unclouded by all your layers of intent and expectation, your editor can give you clear feedback on whether your writing itself accomplishes your intent.
An editor comments on such things as the overall shape of your manuscript, its pacing, character development, diction, dialogue, use of setting, consistency of voice, handling of theme, effectiveness of action and use of detail.
When you work with an editor, you have a partner in the creative process who can suggest techniques and identify issues that have eluded or escaped you.
COACHING
A coach is your own personal cheerleader and task master. A coach works with you to identify the blocks that keep you from meeting your own goals. Together, you make a strategy plan and a schedule so you can address each hindrance on your own the terms using the agenda you have established.
Accountable to your coach by the terms you have established, you are released from fruitless wishing to take actions that will lead to accomplishing your goals.
As you discuss your goals and your strategy plan, you may realize that the issue you thought was a by your own defined agenda is really a by your own defined agenda, or that solving conflicts in your worklife will free you to focus on your creative project.
Working with a coach is a powerful tool that will help you to move directly to the center of your ability to take charge of your writing, your life, your work.
