Working with Nicole is easy and effective. She has a great sense for character arc and conflict! She beta-read a book I was having trouble with, and it was wonderful to gain direction for my edit through her insight. She’s friendly, and her feedback is given in a positive way, even the parts that weren’t working. I would highly recommend Nicole as a coach or for one-time feedback on a manuscript.

Nicole is a valued beta reader for my Fractured Fae series. Her notes are always on-point, particularly when it comes to story flow and continuity. She has all the hallmarks of a good developmental editor: an eye for detail, a thorough understanding of author intent, and good communication skills. She’s also refreshingly reliable when it comes to time frames and deadlines. My only reservation in recommending her services is that she’ll book up fast and be too busy to tackle my next project!

The quality of and the expansive feedback that Nicole provided truly helped me understand how to revamp my sophomore manuscript to make it fresh, readable, enjoyable, and page turning. She went into detail about what she liked and what could be improved upon. Our one-on-one time included not only the opportunity to expound on these findings and ideas for the book but gave me the chance to ask questions to better understand her viewpoint. This book, once I get through editing it (editing is hard, let’s be honest) will be so much better than it was without her input. I highly recommend Nicole for all your editing needs, both developmental and editorial. She’s kind, with a keen eye for details and story flow. I can’t fully express how much she helped my writing.”

I had a paralyzing case of writer’s block, and just couldn’t get down with writing a story that had been ruminating in my head for years. Working with Nicole was a total game-changer for me: her guidance and expertise helped me navigate the daunting first stages of the writing process. From refining my initial concept to completing a robust, flushed-out story outline, her support was invaluable in getting “unstuck.” I 1000% recommend Nicole’s book coaching services to any aspiring author looking to bring their story to life!

I’m 100% more prepared to start the querying process now than I would have been without Nicole. She helped me find the weak spots in my synopsis and query letter, making them both much stronger. I loved her well-researched list of agents for my book, and together, we drafted a fantastic tiered plan of attack for who to contact when. Because of this query package, I’m entering the trenches with confidence and a definite edge. Thank you, Nicole!

Being mentored by Nicole was an incredible experience. Nicole’s patience, insight, feedback, and knowledge were shared with such collaborative generosity – I loved how she challenged me to dig deeper into my characters’ emotions to understand the reasons why they do the things they do and get those emotions into my storytelling. She’s helped me to develop my own creative process and unique approaches to plot outlines so I can more easily bring these wacky stories in my head to life. The tools she’s given me will continue to benefit my writing long after our six months together. I’m inspired by and so grateful for her mentorship and coaching.
