====Developmental Editor==== You've done it. You finaly finished that creative work that's been on your mind for ages. Whether it be a novel or screenplay, your draft is complete and now you wonder: Is it ready? Is it good enough? My name is Andrew and with over a decade serving as a consultant in various creative sectors, I'm no stranger to what makes a good story. Moreover, I know how to engage writers, bringing forth their best creative works. I will challenge (but not attack!) your writing and help you bring out the best version of your idea all while maintaining youre authorial voice. I believe in a tactful approach to evolving your story. I encourage improvment, not through wonton opinion, but rather thought provoking questions and insightful observations. This will ultimately elevate your work, while keeping it true to who you are as an author. I do not sugarcoat my feedback. However, the insights I share won't leave you bruised, but rather excited to take your book to the next level. My services include: - Clear, actionalble feedback - Plothole, Pacing Checks - Spelling and Grammar Checks - Zoom Call Debrief - Written Summary of Areas of Improvement I love stories and I love helping others reach their goals. My reviews show that I care for my clientele and strive to deliver the best consult possible. ====Creative Writer==== Stories are my passion. I've been writing for nearly a decade, with a focus on science fiction and fantasy. My comic book "Torch: Reclaim the Skies" has several thousand issues in circutlation. My comci short "The Guitar's Wail" is published internationally. I've also served as ghost writer for various projects in video games, children's books and comics. I am currently the Lead Creative for an indie RPG video game in development now. I believer a story should set reader expectations of a payoff...and then exceed that expectation beyond measure. Reach out if you wish to develop your story idea, need a punch up or want to produce something special. ==== Kickstarter Consultant ==== Hello! You've chanced upon my page because you want to learn more about Kickstarter and possibly take that next exciting step. Maybe you came across a campaign with six-figure funding goals -- or your friend asked you back their campaign? Perhaps you're trying capture a new market or audience? Instead of navigating articles and YouTube videos -- wouldn't it be nice to simply talk to an expert on hand? To get straight answers and a clear, concise game plan? My name is Andrew and I am a seasoned Kickstarter expert and campaign strategist with a proven track record of achieving exceptional results on the platform. I’ve successfully run multiple campaigns that surpassed 300% funding goals and earned the coveted "Projects We Love" badge. With deep connections in the Kickstarter community and access to insider knowledge, I’m here to help you navigate this exciting market and achieve your campaign goals. Please Note: I operate purely as a consultant. I dispelll myths and share all the things you must know before getting in too deep. I provide clear, concise and actionable advice that leave you confident in your next step. I DO NOT manage or run campaigns for clients (with rare exceptions). Nor will I set up your FB/Google/PPC Ads. I do not accept "commission-based" pay models.
