Writing Support
Writing a book is a daunting task, and before you know it, you might find yourself struggling just to put your pen to paper. Before you crumple up your hard work and toss it in the trash, again, give yourself room to breathe.
A book is not perfect from word one, ever. Writing is not just a task, it is a creaft, and together, we can make your dream of writing a book happen. Almost as if it was magic.
The Word Wizard is here to offer writing support to your drafts to levitate them to where they need to be. Author services include but are not limited to:

Editing and Polishing
The Word Wizard knows how hard it is to avoid using filler words and catch all of the typos. Let her help you take that manuscript from done to ready for publishing.
When you are done writing your first draft, it is one component of the writing spell. Next comes editing. Line edits, and copy edits, and developmental edits, oh my! After that comes the proofreading, and your manuscript will then, and only then, be ready for the final critiques.
The Word Wizard has a fresh set of eyes, and will be ready to give you constructive feedback throughout the whole process, to make sure it is ready for publishing, and in all the best possible ways.
