We'll talk! I'll drink tea! We'll make a plan for your success.
Whether your book is just an idea or a completely finished draft, I can help. Trouble getting your ideas down? I've got you. Chapters written but stuck bringing it all together? Not a problem. Draft is done but the story isn't clicking, or maybe you're struggling with query rejections? We'll figure out what needs tweaking.
Or, maybe you need help with the more intricate fabric of the book. Your structure is sound but something with the flow or wording isn't working. I know what to do.
Editorial and book coaching services help to finish and polish your work and get it ready for publishing. If you're not sure what services you need, fill out the contact form or send an email. I am always happy to help.
Line editing
Stylistic editing for evil geniuses
Line by line, we will work on your book together. With the smoothest language, the clearest intentions, and the most interesting adjectives, we will draw in your reader. Muahaha!
Copyediting
Commas and spelling. Snore!
Just kidding, I love it. Let me take care of the boring stuff. Grammar. Mechanics. Spelling. I'll make sure your text is correct and consistent. Yes, yes. I am weird.
Structural editing
Literary architecture.
Hard hat? Check. Tape measure? Check. Great pen? Check. Let's ensure your book is structurally sound in both organization and content.
Book Coach
Great Idea. Full Battery. Can't Lose.
Consider me your Coach Taylor. I am here to help set out your ideas, structure your work, set (and keep) deadlines, maintain plot clarity, consider genre norms, respect character development, organize research and book material, and more. I'll cheer you on. I'll (gently) push you forward. I'll help you through the crises (including of confidence) and I'll end with an inspiring speech.
Well... only maybe for the speech. I'll try my best. A sentence at least.
Manuscript Evaluation
Great! An excuse to write letters and use my insane attention to detail.
With my best pen and fanciest paper... wait, no. Sorry.
With my loveliest PDF document, I will provide you with in-depth information on your book, as well as suggestions for next steps. I will give you an overview of your book's strengths, weaknesses, and interesting concepts. I'll pinpoint areas for you to revisit.

What Clients Say:
Carly Scott did an amazing job in helping me craft the world of my novel, Cosmogony. She did an amazing job in the line editing of the piece, and she also did an amazing job in making sure the characters’ story arcs came full circle. She took note of the genre, style, and goals of the work, and she helped me to highlight the best parts of my creative voice in the final product. She even went above and beyond in making sure the book lived up to the ideals and values I hoped to portray, and she helped me to produce a work I was proud of and happy to share with the world. I highly recommend her services as an editor and hope to work with her again in the future!
