Non-Fiction BOOK PLANNING & writing support
Brainstorming, Mentoring
Ghostwriting
Want to write a book, or have started but need some help in moving forward through book coaching and strategising?
Book Planning is essential. Through my
1-on-1 Brainstorming session, I listen and brainstorm with you the best way forward, from whichever point you are at on your writing and publishing journey.
We can strategise and plan your book, get your part-manuscript back on track, deal with any blocks or ... whatever is needed! This is about you and your needs, and us connecting.
Need ongoing mentoring? We can design just the right sort of bespoke mentoring and writing support that you need for your particular writing journey and goals. For example, weekly, fortnight or monthly check-ins either in-person or via Skype or Zoom.
Need ghostwriting support?
Sometimes I can step in and ghostwrite on your behalf, or simply write creative examples for you to draw inspiration from. I also write back cover blurbs, manuscript submissions, reports and blogs.
"Wendy's feedback on my manuscript assessment was amazing! She gave me great direction and constructive advice. I feel empowered to rewrite and create a book I can gift the world."
"Wendy, your patience is beyond extraordinary; your nature is nothing short of beautiful. You have been the solid foundation that has allowed me to express myself in ways I never thought possible."
document editing, PROOFREADING &
copywriting
Government, Corporate, Business & Academic Editing
Looking for a detailed and professional final polish-up, with confidentiality assured by a Professional Editor?
All written text requires editing and/or proofreading by an objective third party for best quality. This is not only true for individual writers, but especially when multiple authors have been involved with the writing (e.g. in annual reports, joint research papers and government cabinet papers).
My most popular document editing projects are:
-
State government proofreading
-
annual reports
-
business reports
-
resumes & CVs
-
book proposals
-
blogs
-
training manuals
I am a Professional Member of the Institute of Professional Editors.
My keen eye for detail, and knowledge of Australian Commonwealth Editing standards, is in increasing demand by:
-
government departments
-
not-for-profit organisations
-
high schools
-
the corporate sector
-
post-graduate students.
My copywriting services are utilised also by government departments.
"We were extremely pleased with your profile writing and appreciated your high quality work... We will certainly keep you in mind for future opportunities and will recommend your services to our colleagues."
"Your proofreading services are highly recommended throughout our departments."
