Lissa Woodson, a dedicated literary agent who secured her first deal with Simon & Schuster in 2006, then for other with MacMillan, Harlequin and other agencies for agent clients, now pays it forward by helping authors polish their work for self publishing or if they're on their way to landing a deal with a traditional publishing home.

Details

If you're starting out in writing your first book or looking to scale a book you've already publishing, reach out for a consultation to discuss how to achieve your goals and aspirations. As a developmental editor, she focuses on the major aspects of a manuscript, providing feedback and guidance on the overall structure, plot, character development, foreshadowing, pacing, flow and other elements that are a part of fleshing out the story. She provides a “teaching” edit, which is not focused on correcting errors and punctuation--that is a line edit. As a partner in the process, Lissa helps to shape your book according to the genre, your vision and theme, while keeping industry standards in mind.
