Hiring a Fiction Editing Service: WHY USE AN EDITOR?

Why should you hire a writing coach? Why consider a fiction editing service? What will you lose if you don't at least consider professional fiction editing?

The publishing world is tough and the competition fierce. For every book that is published, thousands never see print. The fact is that 90% of book writers never edit their book even once! Of those who do revise, 90% of those make changes without professional novel editing assistance. The result? A manuscript that may please the writer but which will FALL SHORT OF THE MARKET'S NEEDS!

As a professional fiction manuscript editor I can help you grow as a writer and fit today's demanding market. Yet the freshness and uniqueness of your voice should NEVER be compromised. My fiction editing service can provide you with professional plotting, characterization and technique standards geared to suit the expectations and needs of the publishing world! I also can be your writing coach as you develop skills as an author. In the process, I will protect your writer's voice and respect your ideas.

Whether your book is only in the idea stage or fully written, e-mail me, Sandra Haven, so we can discuss your plans. Thanks for visiting

Writing Groups - A Good Idea ... or Not?
Whenever a group of writers get together you have the opportunity to share ideas, plans, marketing strategies and explore whole new sides of the writing process. This stimulation is a marvelous adjunct to your own writing efforts. One reason I endorse writer groups is because writing is a solitary (and lonely!) experience. A writer can feel as if they are the only ones faced with this problem or that. In a group, you soon realize you all face similar experiences--both good and bad. However, there can be a distinct down-side to joining if ...(Click here for full article)

How to Pick the Perfect Title
Two of my writers this recently had the same problem: They chose the perfect title for their book, only to discover it already graces the cover of a published book. What to do? First, the chances are excellent your proposed title will be changed if a commercial publisher accepts it. Their own marketing people know what does and doesn't sell in titles--or at least think they do. They also often have some inside feed on what new titles are in the pipeline to be published soon. So should you ... (Click here for full article)
