COACHING + CRITIQUE
Are you working on a book proposal or writing your first or 100th draft of a book you desire to see published? Are you feeling unsure of what it needs to be taken seriously by agents or editors or even your readers? Are you overwhelmed with information overload about the dos and don’ts of it all. Let me help.
With more than 20 years' experience in book publishing as an acquisitions editor, collaborative writer, and literary agent, I will give you objective and professional feedback on your project. Get editorial comments on the content you submit, suggestions for organization, and focused feedback addressing questions you may have such as:
What trends or felt needs should my writing address/reflect?
Are my ideas any good?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of how I'm sharing my message?
Am I on the right track?
What do I need to fix?
What is my authentic voice and how can I write true to it?
How do I tell my story without being sued or hurting those I love?
How can I build my platform so my voice is heard?
Who is my audience, and what do they need to hear from me?
Should I publish this on my own or should I try to get an agent to secure a traditional publishing deal?
My goal is to help you get the answers to these questions and more so you can have confidence and clarity about the next step in your writing and publishing journey.

One coaching + critique client came back after publishing her memoir and said:
“It is PUBLISHED!!!! Thank you Jevon for your love, encouragement and expertise in helping me write Jesus story in transforming my life. Your book is SOOOO beautiful and powerful!! without a doubt, it was a major contributor to directing this “once was no writer” to AUTHOR! Your book, your coaching, your words, your love was HUGE in my writing life for I had NO idea what I was doing. So very grateful. It is ALL God…you said yes and continue to say yes and because of your obedience, I said yes and continue to say YES! Thank you with all my heart!”
