What type of Academic Editing do you need?

What Is a Story Coach?

Your Story Coach is an experienced, vetted, and certified StoryCoach editor who professionally evaluates how good your story is and then shows you specifically how to make it great! Using a successfully proven story arc to test each section of your writing, your Story Coach analyzes and tells you where and how to make your novel structurally better. Thus, you learn how to better write and self-edit from a professional editor. Combining their creative expertise from years of editing in the publishing industry, your Story Coach outlines exactly what you can do to tell a better story before publishing to success.

What Is a StoryCoach Edit?

StoryCoach Editing is a developmental editing process. It is comprehensive and fully assesses your Fiction story to determine how to perfect your overall story arc structurally. The StoryCoach Content Edit includes reviewing the 38 Story Elements, essential to creating a powerful story for publishing. This is available only upon recommendation and approval by a certified StoryCoach Editor.

The Highest Level of Developmental Fiction Editing

StoryCoach Editing is the most in-depth, high-level editing service for fiction writers. We review your entire manuscript structure and compare it with a successfully proven story arc. After evaluating the foundational elements of characters, plots, and settings, your StoryCoach Editor digs deeper into your novel’s fine details. They provide individualized coaching on the use of the 38 Story Elements as applicable to your unique manuscript. You receive an in-depth StoryCoach Edit with advice, notes, and recommendations throughout your writing. You also get a professional Summary Letter, which allows you to see the “big picture” of your story’s strengths and challenges. We only provide a Story Coach edit to approved manuscripts.

What Does a Story Coach Provide?

Prepare for an intensive revision process after the initial StoryCoach Edit. There will be many insights to your writing which will require you to adjust your manuscript accordingly. Often our StoryCoach editors recommend reorganization, additions, and truncations to your chapters and scenes. Ultimately, you decide if you implement these changes or not. We guarantee your certified StoryCoach editor suggests these changes based upon fiction industry standards, extensive writing experience, vetted training, and proven author story arc models. Word choice, style, and copy editing are important, but they don’t matter if you do not have a great story!
