Great American Novel Package–Meet the editors

Yesterday’s Great American Novel Package post talked about the services the package can provide.  Today, we want to tell you about all of the resources we have to support your journey.

Danielle Rose, story editor and novel coach

Danielle is a long-time author and journalist.  She has edited several large-scale, and many small-scale publications, and has completely compiled the Mind Key Anthologies of art and writing (www.mindkey.me/anthology).  She has the experience and dedication needed to provide feedback for nonfiction work, as well as a passion for characters, and for weaving stories that reflect current social and philosophical issues. She will focus on not only your story, but your sentence structure, your organization and chronology, as well as the emotional aspect of your characters, and the beauty and depth of your settings. There’s no better editor suited to helping you build the framework needed to complete a story that sells.  Her expertise in creating platforms and selling ideas makes her a valuable asset for crafting a query letter, and marketing plan that any publisher will love, and that any self-published author needs to succeed through her consulting services.

Audrey Solarino, Proofreading and copy editing

Audrey is a career copy-editor who has worked with big-name publishers such as Pearson Education and Prentice Hall, as well as on a freelance basis.  She takes great pride in her work, and will ensure that every comma, hyphen, and apostrophe are where they belong.  She will research word usage and phrases to ensure yours are correct, as well as provide insight to structure and style if desired.  Any novel that will be submitted to an agent or self-published needs copyediting, and Audrey’s exacting eye, combined with her easy-going, fun-loving nature makes her the perfect editor to pick apart your grammar with love, care, and an eye for vibrancy.

Charla Dury, story editor and copy editor

As a mother, accountant, and editor, Charla will get to the nitty-gritty, show you where your story is weak, and how to strengthen it, whether examining basic descriptions, plot twists, or flow between chapters and scenes. Charla will examine your work down to the micro-level, helping you rework weak scenes, paragraphs and sentences so that your story doesn’t sound stilted, awkward, or uncertain. She takes pride in the English language, and will help you polish your prose to shine properly and poetically.

Tamara Rokicki, story edits

Writing is Tamara’s expression of her soul. Her fantasy pieces are woven around the magic and mystery of life itself, and her nonfiction tackles the emotional side of humanity in a way that is both understanding and scientific. She can help you bring that emotion to life in a way that will engage and connect your reader with your characters and your storyline. She will help you create descriptions needed to not only draw the reader in, but keep them there, while accurately recalling past scenes and plot holes that need filling/resolving in order to complete your finished novel.

Rebecca Godina, story edits

A storyteller by nature, Rebecca understands the deeper concepts of humanity, and how these basic characteristics reflect in characters and archetypes.  In her own writing, she is an exceptional world-builder, continually adding layer upon layer to create multi-dimensional interactions that speak to the heart, mind and soul. As an editor, Rebecca will pinpoint where your story is lacking the depth needed to pull together your themes and storyline. She will help round out characters, build mystique, and keep your readers turning page after page in anticipation of the end. Rebecca will help you walk on the dark side in a way that is enticing and very real.
