MANUSCRIPTS ARE MUCH LIKE PEOPLE
People come in all shapes and sizes, embedded with their own images, ideals, and express themselves distinctly in their own way. Their inspiration and their illnesses are very much affected by external forces, but their creativity can only come from within. Each person's voice and creativity is as unique as their body. And so is their writing.
And that's why, I guess, a book doctor is very much like your family doctor.
You visit your family doctor when you are sick. You also want to visit your doctor when you are worried, and know that you aren't feeling up to your own usual level of energy. The doctor patiently listens to your worries and complaints, then checks out that body of yours, and may offer some suggestions or even a prescription, but always leaves you with a warm feeling of being "looked after".
Your confidence in your family doctor is identical to the confidence you will experience with the book and thesis doctor.
Why? Because you will know that you are dealing with a person with a whopping three degrees in educational credentials, 28 years of hands-on experience in all aspects of publishing, an award-winning author herself, and a bevy of distinguished honors to boot! Maybe it's just life experience that helps her to understand and empathize with all the pains, pressures and eventual joys of creativity. The book doctor brings all that to soothe, help and guide you through the muddy puddles of writing.
But believe me, sharing your work and dealing with the book doctor is not anything like a Botox injection. After your manuscript has been through its visit to the book doctor, you'll be able to really smile!
No ready remedies will be stuffed down your throat. I hope to meet with you, but if that isn't possible, we'll get acquainted by phone or e-mail. Your manuscript will be carefully read first of all to discover your voice and then to put all resources to helping you make that manuscript or thesis the best it can be.
Looking forward to serving you. Contact me anytime!
