What's Your Story?

---

"You can have the best-written story that makes absolutely no sense. A copyeditor cannot fix that." Shaundale Rénā 

Welcome to your home away—a place to tell your own story and write it well. S. Rénā + Co. Editorial Boutique is a small, woman and minority-owned business that specializes in heavy substantive and developmental editing that goes beyond the surface of your content to create 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 at your manuscript? (Author bio and back cover synopsis are included.)  

Developmental editing includes:

• A well-crafted multi-page Editorial Review, covering global issues, such as content, structure, narrative flow, voice, tone, and readability.
• A moderate line edit (via electronic tracked changes) to revise or remove inconsistent and repetitive phrasing, inappropriate verb tense, and/or incorrect word choices, spelling and usage (diction), grammar, subject-verb agreement, and transitional phrases, as well as consistency, depth, syntax, clarity, flow, style, and pacing. 
• A virtual follow-up to discuss how, when, where, and why to implement the suggested changes made via comment bubbles.
• A final read-through to smooth out any additions made in the previous round of revisions with ongoing e-mail correspondence and support.

Developmental Editor | Transformational Writing Coach

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. Just write it right—the first time!

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? 

If that's you, then why not:

• Turn your life into lessons?
• Or, turn your trauma into triumph?
• And, turn your passion into profits?

No matter where you are, or what you went through to get there, pen your purpose. The world needs your story, so let's get together and set some goals, start a new writing prompt, or finish an old one that gets moved farther along. Go ahead! Treat yourself to a story worth living. Start your next season now with transformational book coaching. You'll thank yourself later. 

Click the link below for your free 30-minute Discovery Call because a good book can grab anyone's attention, but only a great one will hold it! By the way, if you're writing a tiny book (nonfiction) or a short story (fiction), I welcome your manuscript! Let's connect to brainstorm and set goals for you to start living the life you deserve, Your Best Write Now. You're worth it! 

When the going gets tough, the tough get to writing—except sometimes they don’t know how, don’t have the time, or simply don’t want to. They just know they need to tell their story. 

With everything else you have going on, wouldn't it be nice to let someone else do something for a change? Well, here's where I come in. You tell me your story, and I'll write it. It's just that simple.

The truth is, while everyone has a story worth telling, writing is not everybody’s cup of tea. 

"But, I don't want to write." 

Does that sound like you? If so, then schedule some one-on-one time to plan your outline. I'll take it from there. Because writing your story may be therapeutic, but telling it is freeing. 

You're in the "write" place now! So let's get it done together!

Ghostwriting includes:

• A well-written 50-page manuscript with standard 12-pt Times New Romans font and 1.5" line spacing. (Formatted at approximately 65-70 standard 6x9 book pages.)
• Research & Review Virtual Meetings to discuss your story and its key components, progressively. 
• Edited single-entry submissions that include: an author bio, book synopsis, foreword, acknowledgments, and dedication.
