STUCK ON YOUR BOOK? Not every problem is solved by proofreading or copy editing. Sometimes you need a book doctor. Someone to spot a problem, act as a sounding board, or help you figure out what happens next. Maybe you’ve written 40,000 words and hit a wall. Maybe the plot has gotten away from you. Maybe your characters aren’t doing what you need them to do. Maybe you’ve rewritten the opening six times and still don’t like it. Or maybe the manuscript is finished, but you have no idea whether it’s actually ready. That’s why I offer author coaching, book doctoring, and manuscript consultation in addition to traditional editing services. I can help with story development, plotting, characterization, pacing, manuscript analysis, book doctoring, developmental editing, proofreading, and query/synopsis development. I bring an extensive professional writing and publishing background to the table, with multiple award nominations, more than a decade of writing mentorship experience, previous experience teaching adult and teen writing classes, two years editing a genre magazine, and years of editing fiction and nonfiction. You still write the book. I help you figure out how to make it better. If that sounds useful, send me a message. PM me and we can discuss your project, your needs, and what my price would be. #editing #bookdoctor #manuscripthelp #bookstrategy #bookconsulting #storyconsulting #developmentalediting #proofreading

Coming Nov. 3! facebook.com/photo?fbid=1024…

If any acquisition editors are in the market for a modern Frankenstein tale involving a high school sophomore who discovers he's a descendent of Victor Frankenstein, I have a complete agented YA novel available. Pitch: High schooler Vic Frank discovers he’s the great-great grandson of Victor Frankenstein and together with his new best friend, Karl—a vampire—they recreate Frankenstein’s experiment. But things start to go wrong, and only get worse when another student steals the formula for invisibility. Now Vic and Karl have to figure out who’s viciously attacking their schoolmates: the girl they’ve brought back to life or the boy who they can’t see! #MSWL #YAHorror #MGHorror #KidLit #YALit #Frankenstein #AmQuerying #BookPublishing #bookpitch #YANovel

Happy to announce that my latest novella, Of Gods & Monsters, officially comes out on November 3. But it can be pre-ordered now at the LVP Publications site or on Amazon (links below). But I'll have a few copies for sale at the Trick or Treat festival in Wilmington, NC on Oct. 24th! "Medusa was cursed by Athena with the power to turn people to stone, and by Hera with immortality. After Athena no longer needed Medusa's head, it was buried with her body and lay there for millennia, until She awakens in Greece in 1915 when her head and body are reunited. She is insane, having suffered through centuries of being trapped between life and death, in a semi-aware state. As she regains her sanity and her memories, she adapts to the world and spends the next hundred years since her resurrection as a modern-day vigilante, helping women who have been mistreated. Until she meets Heather Kruger, a woman desperate to protect her daughter from her billionaire husband. Medusa’s plan to kill Evan becomes a fight for her own survival and revenge as Hera’s gift of immortality is put to the ultimate test." amazon.com/Gods-Monsters-JG-… Welcome to LVP Publications: Pre-Order Of Gods and Monsters by JG Faherty
