My Philosophy

Authors are, by nature, an anxious, strong, sensitive, fabulous, creative, and multifaceted group of people.It’s hard to reach out for help. But I’m here for you.

 

I meet you where you are.— Valerie Ihsan

 

A Set of Fresh Eyes

How do you know if your book works?

It’s hard to tell when we are so close to our own words. Plus, we’ve been looking at the thing for so long.

It’s time for a fresh set of eyes.

After reading and dissecting your manuscript, I’ll be able to show you where you can improve your work, making it the very best you can.

After our 60-minute follow-up Zoom call, I’ll be available to you via unlimited email for any further clarification and support you might need.
