Decoding the mechanics of the crime and fantasy genres
If you love worldbuilding, magic systems, a gripping mystery, and a skillfully crafted plot, then I'm your girl!
I've spent the last decade going deep into the ins and outs of these genres and then gushing about them with crime and fantasy writers through articles, writing programs, and workshops.
If you have ever wondered, "how do I set up a convincing plot twist?" or "how do I create a believable fantasy world?" or anything else related to the 'how' of the genre, then chances are I've got a resource for you!

As much as I love uncovering the secrets of the genre, I want to make sure you can apply them meaningfully to your novel.

Have you completed a manuscript and have taken it as far as you can? The Manuscript Evaluation is where you can get a developmental editor's eyes on your story for an in-depth assessment and tactical solutions to get it past the finish line.
No matter how many cycles of revision or drafts written, every writer needs a fresh pair of eyes to help them evaluate the pacing, structure, character arcs, continuity, and overall effectiveness within their genre.
The Manuscript Evaluation is where you can tag me in as your editor to better assess where your story is at, solve problems, and get you the insight needed to carry it forward. I start with a 'blind read' of your story, then we will meet to discuss your vision so I can better curate my feedback towards actualizing your vision.
After our call, I will send you a written document with my suggestions for your novel. This is not a deluge of miscellaneous feedback. It's an organized hit list of high impact fixes and insights to execute on the story you are trying to tell.

The thing that makes enjoyable characters or an inspiring world something readers can get lost in is the plot. A well structured plot is how we get the reader invested and hold their attention.
A free email course and template to outline your story
This email course will guide you through how to outline a plot within four manageable acts, telling you what each act is designed to accomplish and how they escalate your story in way that makes it impossible for the reader to put down.
I have had the best time hatching schemes, overthrowing empires, and solving mysteries with wonderful writers!
