Services

I am able to help people on a number of levels with their writing—whether you’ve just joined a writing group, and you’re finding your voice, or you’re working on a full-length book manuscript.

Creative Writing Review/Coaching

I can read what you are writing and offer tips to improve your writing as well as make note of characters—or concepts—that are particularly strong and may warrant further development. Learn more →

Book Development/Writing

I can consult with you to help draw out the story line, craft an outline for the book, and create a production schedule—to get you from book idea to bookshelf.  Learn more →

Book Editing

Perhaps your book is done. You’ve written it and edited it. You are on your ninth—or your twenty-second—manuscript draft, and you know it’s time to step back and let an objective editor take a look.  Learn more →

Book Development Sampler

Before we work together on an entire manuscript, it’s a great idea to give each other a test run. It allows you to see what kind of suggestions I might make and whether we will be a good fit to work together. Learn more →

Copy Editing

I apply The Chicago Manual of Style and ensure that the material is consistent, free of typographical and grammatical errors, and adheres to accepted style guidelines. Learn more →

Book Design

After I’ve ensured that your book reads beautifully, I call in a creative partner to help you design the cover and interior pages, and to prepare and finalize all components. Learn more →

Publishing Guidance

I’ll help you outline the action steps and steer you toward trusted industry resources to take those last steps to publication. Learn more →

Flight of Integrity
By Peter Cichon with Janice Beetle

Flight of Integrity CoverPeter Cichon spent countless hours daydreaming about leaving his trucking job behind to transition into a career at an airline. He worked sixty-five hours a week, living in his car on weekends, to make the transition in the early 1990s. His new career as a ramp agent exhilarated Peter and made him proud. He became a leader at his airline, where sexual harassment and racism were rampant. In addition to doing his job, Peter became a defender for colleagues who were beleaguered victims of a trio of aggressors. Standing against them was ultimately a major sacrifice. This novel, based on fact, tells Peter’s story.

Seasoned: A Memoir of Grief and Grace
By Tom Zink

This memoir is the story of Tom Zink’s unwitting grief journey of five decades that began when his older brother Steve was hit by a car and killed while on the paper route the two boys shared. But this is not merely a story of grief and recovery; it is also a poignant and, at times, humorous look at laughter and lightheartedness, winning and losing, and doubt and faith. Edited by Janice Beetle.

Hand, Horse, and Motor
By James B. Ricci

This book features nearly 200 individuals or corporations that manufactured lawn mowers in this country and offers a snapshot on the patents, products and historical contributions each brought to the industry. It also offers interesting anecdotes, photographs and ephemera from the author’s extensive collection. Edited by Janice Beetle.
