PEAK AMYGDALA WRITING SERVICES

Writing Coach and Editing Services for Everyone–because you deserve mindful, private, discreet and thoughtful analysis of your work and where you’re going with your writing, no matter how far along you’ve gotten in the publication world!

My goal is to help my clients learn how to plot, plan, and format their work so that it is ready for publication, whether they are sending their work to commercial presses, small presses, or self-publication. To this end, my introductory rates are set at a low and reasonable level.

I want to encourage the ongoing growth of my clients and myself–my past experience as a teacher has shown me that as I teach, not only do my students benefit, but I learn from my students.

My services are open for ages from middle school on up–if you have a child struggling with composing appropriate academic papers, that will fall under my writing coach services. I WILL NOT WRITE TERM PAPERS. But I will review term papers at a coaching rate and help improve them.

Here’s what I have to offer:

Proofreading experience from a respected small press.

Experience helping other writers with developmental and line editing.

A Master’s degree in special education with an emphasis on remedial writing

Ten years of middle school teaching experience focusing on developing writing skills.

Publication experience in both commercial and self-publishing realms which goes back to the 1990s.

Science fiction and fantasy manuscripts preferred–I am not familiar with the romance market or mysteries.
