Summary

Ever dreamed of, not only writing a movie, but also gracing the world with the next great masterpiece? Do you feel, deep down, how amazing and thrilling your story is, but find yourself struggling to harness such awesome ideas and bind them in written form? Look no further!

Process

For this incredible service, I will:
Proofread
Edit spelling and grammatical errors
Provide structural edits
Provide developmental edits
Check for consistency in plot, character, worldbuilding, tone, theme, and voice
Provide a review and critique
Most importantly, help you realize your vision
That is right: I want to help you realize your vision. I know entirely well the frustration of grasping for perfection, and even, worse, having your work edited at the expense of neglecting the story you want to tell. My dedication to conveying your vision will be as important as the editing itself.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
I am looking forward to being your editor!

James knows story and he knows characters. I had written a first draft and I knew something wasn't flowing quite right. James pinpointed a few places where the logic jumped ... and where the characters, as I had written them, were not being true to themselves. He pointed them out and asked me questions. Some of the info I had in me, but it just had not gotten onto the page yet. When I didnt' have answers, he gave me a few possibilities to consider. His insights moved me beyond procrastination.
