Do you have a story to tell, and need help knowing where to begin?
Or maybe you’ve got a draft, and need it publish-ready?
I can make it easier.
My clients are novelists, non-fiction writers, and writers of memoir or experimental fiction.
I work with writers both aspiring & accomplished.
I help people find their voice on the page, and I help make good stories better.
For writers just setting out:
Do you have a book idea that's been percolating, stuck in your head for months... or even years? Are you unsure where to start, or filled with dread about getting back to the page? My years of teaching writing and facilitating workshops gives me the insight to help writers to finish a manuscript they're proud of and determine their next steps toward getting their writing out into the world.
For writers hitting their stride:
Perhaps you have a manuscript that is this close but you need honest, actionable feedback? Are you ready for a developmental edit to provide insight on structure and pacing? Or maybe you'd like feedback on your first 50 pages before you query? I've spent 20 years writing and editing, working with fiction & non-fiction and both indie and traditionally published authors.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Sloan.
I’m a writer, editor, translator, writing coach, and puppet-maker. I have two writing degrees, a passion for language learning, an intense case of wanderlust, and a deep love for stories well told (across boundaries of geography, genre, or medium).
Want to know more about why you can trust me with your work?
“From her first reading of my early draft, Sloan saw its potential. Working together helped me to see where my manuscript could go, and helped me discover the tools I needed to take it there.”
Sarah Tavis, MFA. multi-modal writer and creativity coach at selkie coaching
