Blue Square's  Business Model

Blue Square Writers Studio provides professional editing and consultation services for fiction and creative non-fiction. I earned my Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, have published several short stories in national literary magazines, and am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association. Because I'm a writer and an editor, my services are unlike any other.  I understand and empathize with the nuances and struggles inherent to the craft of writing.  I tailor each project to specifically fit your styles and needs, providing personalized expertise to your project. I'm here to help you become a better writer while on your way to publishing a great book. 

​

I pride myself on my individual, personalized service, and handle any and all aspects of the writing process. Whether you need guidance in starting your novel, brainstorming a stalled idea, putting the final polish on your finished book, or writing query letters to agents, Blue Square can help. Since 2012, I have worked with clients from all walks of life, with all genres of writing, and I have a long list of satisfied customers .  I work to establish long-term relationships with all of my writers, and many of my clients publish their work and continue on to write second and third books with Blue Square.

​

I edit in two distinct ways:

First, I provide in-text edits. With this, I make any grammatical, spelling, or mechanics corrections that are required – i.e., the typical copy editing. If there are repeated errors, I'll teach you how to fix them. I also interact with the text like a normal reader. I write comments on the manuscript (digitally, using Word's Comment feature), ask questions, make comments, and let you know how I'm reading, on a sentence-by-sentence level, what you've written. I focus on both major and minor issues, offer suggestions and fixes, and also compliment what you're doing well.

Second, I give you a write-up (~4 pages) addressing overall issues, compliments, and suggestions. In this write-up I detail big-picture and whole-book concepts and how you can best handle them. I offer mini-lessons and explanations on writing craft that is specifically focused on your style and project. After I've returned the manuscript to you, I'm also available to answer any questions or clarify any comments – anything to help you take the next steps with your work.
