Be well. Do well. Write well.
Developmental Editing
Welcome to your home away—a place to tell your own story and write it well. S. Rénā + Co. specializes in developmental editing that goes beyond the surface of your content to develop the story every writer longs to share—one every reader longs to read.
Imagine writing your final draft and getting it into the hands of a few good friends or professional colleagues, only to find out there are holes in the story or the content is all over the place. If they're not honest, you might celebrate your success and head to the printer. If they are, you may throw it in the trash or file it away for years to come. Before you do either, why not let me take a look?
Relax and move on to the next item on your publishing checklist, and let me help you tell your story the way it deserves to be told, doing what brings me joy—big picture "macro" editing and content development.
Book Coaching
Listen, I'm convinced some people don't want to see us happy. They want to see their perception of happiness projected onto us, and that's a load of bull. Free yourself to live the life you want to write about.
What's your story? Are you a survivor? Were you once the underdog? Why not tell it yourself?
Because every coach sees things differently, this is a safe place for the pages of your life to be re-written and chapters to come together again to honor the story you want the world to hear. Recycle the past; your next idea is but one word away. Write it.
There was a time when I knew I wanted to write. I just didn't know what. Sound familiar?
Let's get together and set some goals, start a new prompt, or finish an old one. Go ahead! Treat yourself to a story worth living, then let me help you tell it. Start your next season now. You'll thank yourself later.
Let's spend an hour together to brainstorm and set goals for you to start living your best story now. Choose your date and time to connect. I'll see you on the other side of the page. By the way, if you're writing a tiny book (nonfiction) or a short story (fiction), I welcome your manuscript!
Resources
Writing a book and afraid it won't be good, won't sell, or won't even get finished?
I've got you covered in my step-by-step go-to guide, "What to Do While Waiting... An Author's Guide to Self-Publishing."
Written with you in mind, many of my clients have successfully navigated through the process of self-publishing confidently (all while I was editing their final files). This manual, which started as a one-page checklist, has helped aspiring authors to easily stay focused on their publication goals, meet their deadlines, and celebrate their journey to becoming self-published.
With the help of my Book Publishing Checklist, Sample Back Cover Synopsis, Sample Book Pitch, and more, you can do it too. Try it for yourself!
