Dear Writer,As an editor, coach, and writer, I am dedicated to helping you develop your manuscript and advance your storytelling skills. My approach to editing and coaching is guided by a simple philosophy: Elevate the author, not just the story. This principle shapes every interaction, aiming to improve your manuscript while enhancing your overall growth as a writer.I offer a full range of editing services to meet the unique needs of your manuscript. These include developmental editing to refine key elements such as plot, character development, and narrative structure; line editing to strengthen your prose at the sentence level; copyediting for a detailed review of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style; and proofreading as a final polish to ensure your manuscript is error-free and publication-ready.In addition to editing, I provide beta reading services to offer valuable feedback from a readers perspective. This insight highlights how your story resonates with its audience and identifies areas for improvement before publication. I also offer self-publishing assistance to guide you through the complexities of independently publishing your work, ensuring you feel confident and informed as you take the next steps in your writing journey.I am equally passionate about supporting writers throughout the creative process. My book coaching services provide interactive, ongoing guidance from sentence one to sentence done, helping your story evolve with clarity and confidence. Unlike editing, which typically begins after a manuscript is complete, book coaching offers feedback and mentorship during every stage of writing.As Editor-in-Chief of a Dark Harbor Magazine, I have the privilege of curating and refining stories to the highest standards, ensuring they resonate with readers while showcasing the unique voice of each author. This experience, combined with my academic background, has honed my ability to provide precise, insightful feedback that elevates manuscripts to their fullest potential.I bring a strong foundation of expertise to my work. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English with a concentration in Fiction, which provided me with a deep understanding of narrative craft. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, building on this foundation to refine my knowledge of storytelling, craft elements, and the publishing industry. These experiences have equipped me with the tools to guide writers in developing both their stories and their skills.What I offer is a partnership based on a genuine desire to help writers like you work toward their dreams. Every writers journey is unique, and I take pride in tailoring my approach to your specific needs, whether through editing, coaching, beta reading, or self-publishing support. Your story is important, and I am here to provide the unwavering guidance and expertise needed to bring it to life.I look forward to the possibility of working with you soon.Yours truly,Jimmy BlakemoreLets Talk: Book a meet by clicking here.
