Editor & Writing Coaching

Barbara Mulvey Little is a professional writer, compassionate editor, and published author who believes

 Words have amazing power.

They inform, educate, inspire, engender hope, heal, make us laugh, make us cry, call us to action, touch our hearts.

Words have the power to make our thoughts into something real that we can hear, see, and touch.

But hiring an editor or writing coach can be akin to finding your Prince Charming. Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs.

If you’re done kissing frogs, let’s talk about how my professional editing and coaching services provide great word craft, on deadline, on budget, no excuses. I can help whether you need quality words written or edited for a book or an article or for web content.

Writing Coach

You’re an expert in your field and passionate about what you do . . .

. . . but you may not have the time (or interest) to write that book or e-book, article, or content you need.
Hiring a professional writing coach with a passion for the written word makes the difference between an idea that gets published and one that stays in your head.

Everybody has a story to tell but not everyone has the gift of gab to tell it. Whether you need original content created to your specifications or a writing coach, I have the tools to help you get your message out or make your story come alive.

Who hires a writing coach?

  • Authors, writers, and potential authors and writers who need encouragement, tips, and guidance for the story they want to tell
  • Professionals who desire to publish their great ideas but hate writing (or don’t have the time)
  • Smart entrepreneurs who want great articles for internet blogs or traditional trade publications or alumni magazines but don’t know how to pitch a story about their success

Editing

A good editor makes the writer look great because a good editor is the reader’s advocate.

Readers love to read books and articles that are focused, concise, and clear. In other words, readers enjoy well-edited writing. As an editor I provide constructive critiques and compassionate coaching for words you’ve already written. I check structure, organization, flow, grammar, word choice, punctuation, and more to ensure that your written presentation makes you look like the professional you truly are.

From a simple tweak to a heavy edit, your words are safe with me. I will maintain your voice; check your structure, organization and flow; ensure that your work is clear and readable; and add that critical second-set-of-eyes that every good piece of writing requires.

Editing services for:

  • books
  • professional articles
  • dissertations

Do you need professional editing? A writing coach? Someone who can harness the power of words so you can complete your magnum opus?

Together we can tell your story with informative, inspiring, healing words. Email me at Barbara-AT-BMLbooks-DOT-com to request a free 20-minute consultation.
