Project details
Congrats! You’ve finished your first book ... or your fourth or fortieth!
It’s perfect and ready to publish, right? Right …?
If you’re reading this, then you’re already ahead of many novelists, because you know there’s a difference between a good book and a book readers can’t put down - and you’re not about to settle.
That’s where I come in. I specialize in developmental editing for debut authors as well as authors who want to grow their craft.
Fiction writing is both an art (creativity) and science (execution.) Both of these need to be mastered to tell a story that hooks readers - and keeps them engaged.
Developmental editing assists a debut novelist in avoiding the common mistakes many new, and established, writers make. This includes everything from ‘show-tell’ to voice consistency to general storytelling and grammar.
I’ve broken down my main focus areas below.
Nuts-n-bolts:
- Story flow
- Structure
- Character development
- Plot/subplot(s) arc
- Grammar and sentence syntax
Craft:
- ‘Show-don’t-tell’
- Purple (excess) prose
- Voice-genre agreement
- Story engagement
- Passive-active voice review

About Elizabeth
Business plans, developmental editing and creative writing
Tucson, United States - 5:05 am local time
From managing large operations to strategic policy and business development and analysis to penning fiction novels and selling real estate, I've done a little bit of everything!
My experience includes twelve years of public service and ten years in the private sector as an entrepreneur and small-business owner.
I've consulted in various aspects of business, such as initial industry research and analysis, idea development, team building, and online marketing.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also important to me, and I help others transform their bodies and minds so they, too, can live a full, balanced life.
Last but not least, I have a secret identity! I write teen fiction and romantic fiction - and published 80+ books - under the nom de plume Lizzy Ford.
I've done a lot, and so can you!
Business, life, dream coach ... let's build something!
