When you’re first embarking on your writing journey, it can feel like publishing is closed off to everyone but an elite clique. That isn’t true — but publishing does have its secrets. For one, most authors send their manuscripts to a beta reader or an editor before whisking them off to their agents.

To improve your chances of landing an agent and a publishing contract, you need your writing to shine. My editing and beta reading services can tip the odds in your favor
