As a Story Grid Certified Editor, I use Story Grid tools to help assess the current state of your manuscript and provide specific, actionable feedback on ways to fix what’s not working. The tools, developed by an editor with over 25 years experience, are proven and logical and will transform your storytelling. Combined with one-on-one guidance, you will learn the tools, too, and your storytelling will take on new life and allow you to finish writing projects faster and to the great satisfaction of your readers. I edit all genres, but specialize in thriller, crime and non-fiction.
