What’s the difference between a Story Coach, Story Editor, and Ghostwriter?

​

A Story Coach helps you shape your ideas, enhance your writing abilities, and provides ongoing guidance and feedback throughout your creative journey. A Story Editor, however, concentrates on refining and polishing a completed manuscript, focusing specifically on elements such as structure, pacing, and narrative consistency. A Ghostwriter creates content on your behalf, translating your ideas or outlines into a complete manuscript, with the finished work credited to you. Each role uniquely contributes to bringing your story to life.

​

Why should I choose you as my Story Coach? What qualifications do you have?

​

As a Story Coach, I offer extensive expertise from my career as a multi-genre author with numerous published works across diverse categories. My additional background in screenwriting and filmmaking enables me to guide authors to think visually and cinematically, enriching their storytelling. Furthermore, my proven experience in mentoring writers ensures I can effectively support and inspire you, helping you unlock your creativity and achieve your storytelling goals.

​

What is the scope of your coaching projects?

​

As your Story Coach, I guide you through each phase of your creative project with targeted questions and insights. Initially, we clarify your vision through questions such as, "What inspired this story?" or "Who is your target audience?" During character and plot development, we explore deeper aspects like, "What motivates your characters?" and "How does this scene move the story forward?" As your manuscript progresses, we address structural elements with queries like, "Is there sufficient tension here?" or "Does the story flow logically?" In the final stages, we focus on refining details, asking questions such as, "Does the dialogue feel authentic?" and "Have all loose ends been resolved?" This structured, comprehensive approach ensures that you remain supported and focused from start to finish.​

​

Do you offer project-based pricing?

​

Yes, I offer project-based pricing tailored to the scope and duration of your project. For example, coaching you through the full novel-writing process is a comprehensive package that may span several months and includes regular consultations, detailed feedback, and ongoing support—depending on the project's complexity. Shorter engagements, such as help with outlining or character development, require less time and are priced accordingly. Every project is custom-quoted based on your specific goals and level of involvement.
