Join expert editor and book coach, Jennie Nash, as she guides you through the process of turning your manuscript from good to great.
Nobody’s first draft is perfect. Even Ernest Hemmingway made that point, years into his writing career. It’s something I found out the hard way with my first novel.
It was clunky, over long and over complex. The story I wanted to tell was in there, but I doubt anyone would have found it!
Everything changed when I met Jennie Nash. Today, that book has 2,000 reviews, with 90% of those ratings, 5 or 4 stars. I dread to think what would have happened had I released it without going through Jennie’s process first.
That revision period was a magical time. The book I wrote became the book I dreamed of writing. Jennie’s a highly experienced editing expert. She gets to see a lot of what writers do right and wrong. From narrative mistakes to undeveloped characters to grammatical errors, she’s seen it all — more importantly, she knows how to identify and fix them.
We all love the books we write, but if our stories aren’t airtight and our manuscripts are littered with logic problems, our readers won’t be impressed.
