A StoryCoach Edit is a developmental or substantial edit and a labour of love
to bring out the best in each and every story, including yours.

“Congratulations! This is an amazing edit. Your editor’s voice gives me confidence that you know what makes a great story and that you took care in describing the good bits and the bits that need improvement. The way you have combined the summary letter, notes, comments, and story elements provides a powerful package. Any writer will be lucky to have you as an editor. The edit is comprehensive, objective, and thorough. It expands beyond the software into genre and blurbs. The flow of the summary letter is effective. The reference to more than the edit such as technology and also referring to options to tense show you’ve really thought about the story.”

"It’s hard to imagine a more insightful and diligent story editor. The feedback was thoughtful, detailed, thorough and most of all constructive. Casper provided detailed commentary on the story structure, characters and plot as well as a scene-by-scene analysis encouraging me to make sure every scene moved my story forward in the best ways possible. Thank you."

"Hi Casper, I am almost through my scenes. What a wonderful, fun journey it has been with you. I love and appreciate your comments and suggestions. I've hacked out 4 scenes- yay. However, making the story sizzle per your suggestions has added more words, but better words. At this point, I'm not worrying too much. I could always lose the Prologue as you suggested. I haven't decided yet. Your questions and ideas made me think of other fun/horrible things to do with and to my characters. The moment I get an epiphany on how to tweak the story is the best feeling ever! You are an amazing coach, a wonderful and thoughtful cheerleader, and always a compassionate critic. I'll be sad when I get to my The End. I'll reread your summary pdf again and send any more comments I might have. I am more than grateful for finding you and for your work. Back to my scenes, Jean."
