You'll be able to find your story gaps, strengthen your structure, and tell your story with confidence.

What's one area of your writing that could use a little structure love?

These are resources that speak *your* story's language. And these are just the start.

What kind of guide would help you grow most as a storyteller?

Great to see you supporting your local indie bookstore! I have one in my town that I haven't been to in so long, I've almost forgotten what it looks like. I need to rectify that before the end of the year.

Strong structure = stronger reader emotions. Readers feel what's built to last. And stories with strong foundations? Built to last.

What does your story's structure make readers feel? Is that what you want them to feel?

Think of your developmental editor as your story's second set of eyes. We listen, and we don't judge. Fresh eyes see things you can't, looking at the forest instead of the trees and finding the hidden beauty in the grander picture.

That means developmental editing isn't correction. It's collaboration. In collaborating with a dev editor who knows your story through and through, you breathe a new perspective into your draft. We shape the story together.

Let curiosity, not fear, lead your next story decision.

Now, what’s one writing fear you’re finally ready to outgrow?
