What It’s like working with Brian:

Generally it’s a 3 month engagement with weekly calls.

Stage 1: Developmental Editing

Why correct your grammar if we’re going to retool the book? In the first stage, Brian talks to you about how to improve what you’ve got. You’ll write better character arcs. Your sequencing will be better. And you’ll write better dialogue.

Stage 2: Line editing

Here Brian will walk you through how to improve your book, not chapter by chapter, but page by page. Get better transitions in and between chapters. etc

Stage 3: Copy/Text Editing

Depending on who you ask, either God or the Devil is in the details. Brian will walk you through the valleys here. You’ll pick the best verbs and adjectives to convey the emotional weight that you need for your reader to keep thumbing through your book.
