Hello, I'm Taylor - Aspiring YA Fantasy Author and Editor.
I'm passionate about helping writers develop the stories of their heart into completed novels capable of stirring emotion, creating curiosity, and delivering a satisfying payoff.In addition to holding a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in English, I've taken in-person writing intensives, on-line writing webinars, and I've worked with an award winning traditionally published YA author on my own novel.
How to Sell a Novel
In 2021, I attended New York Times Bestselling author Karen Kingsbury's Believe Writing Intensive.Over the course of three days, I learned what elements make a book a bestseller. My manuscript landed in the top 5% of 120 attendees, and I received personal feedback from Karen.Do you need assistance summarizing your 300 page novel into a single sentence, a paragraph, or a 2-3 page synopsis? I've had lots of practice in this area, and I'd love helping you create a tight, clean, and engaging story pitch to use at conferences or in a query letter.Services & Costs
