After years of hypothetical (perhaps literal) blood, sweat, and tears, you finished your book. Did some editing, slapped a cover on it, released it to the world. And got crickets. Your mom bought a copy. A few of her friends bought copies. You got some lovely (if unhelpful) 5-star reviews about how wonderful you are with no mention of the book you worked so hard on. It’s been months, and every time you check up on your baby, all you do is cringe at that 1-star review from someone who didn’t finish because “I couldn’t get past chapter one.”
A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia (relevant, stay with me). After much trial and error, it broke down to too many toxins in my body. A few diet changes and supplements later, I’m glad to say I’ve got my blood counts back in healthy ranges.
Imagine the moment I realized writing is like your bloodstream—bog it down, and it doesn’t work right.
An MFA and 6 years of book reviewing/evaluating later, I’m not just an editor. I’m a book healer—I unpack the story you want to tell and cut out all the parts that keep it from shining through. I can’t guarantee you’ll never get a 1-star review again—no one can do that. But I can make darn sure your story’s the best, cleanest version of itself.
