Hi! I’m Marina…
I’ll help you turn your dreams into drafts and published works.
I'm a writer and editor with ten years of experience in a variety of roles: production, editing, publishing, you name it. I've worked for small indie presses and huge publishing corporations, and I have my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
Now, I'm following my dreams of writing novels and helping others write their goals into reality. I started this business after finishing the first draft of my novel because I realized how isolating and lonely the writing process can be. As your writing coach, I’m with you every step of the way. As your editor, I’ll help you take your draft to the next level.
Why a Writing Coach?
I help get you writing and keep you writing so that you can tell your story in your own words and on your own timeline.
I solve the problem of confidence, courage, and writer’s block when it comes to getting started or getting finished. I’ll help you grow as a writer and reach your goals.
We can work together 1:1 or in groups, depending on your needs and your budget.
Why an Editor?
Editing is a completely different skill from writing — and it’s hard to edit your own work! Especially if you’ve been living, breathing, and working solo on your writing project for months. A good editor will see your project as a whole, and then dive deep between the lines.
We aren’t meant to create in a vacuum, and we can’t edit in one either. As your editor, I’ll read your work with fresh eyes, find plot holes, clarity gaps, typos, grammar issues, and more.
My editing services include: proofreading, copyediting, and developmental editing.
