Book Doctoring: When Your Manuscript Is Ready For A Professional Edit. When you choose me as your Book Doctor, I do far more than just read your manuscript and provide a detailed developmental edit. I also use my own experiences as a published novelist– one who has worked with numerous editors and agents throughout my career–to give you the same kind of professional insights and in-depth reading that I was given with my own books.

Hi Emily, I wanted to let you know I signed a three-book deal for my mystery set in Savannah and have several short stories being published this year. This is in no small part due to your coaching and your Writing Retreats, so I wanted to thank you for all you have done for me over the years and also let you know that my writing life is doing well.
