Juanita (Nita) Collins
Revision Coaching - fiction & memoir
I believe it’s important to have a purpose. To be good at something. To use that something to help others.
Hi! I’m Nita, and one of the somethings I’m good at is helping writers get out of revision hell. I’ll help you stay accountable to your goals and raise the bar on your craft so you can write an emotionally-impactful novel that works.
There’s nothing quite as motivating as knowing someone is on the other end of the line waiting for your pages to pop into their inbox, listening to your ideas, helping you sort through what is and isn’t working, and helping you make a revision roadmap that you can actually follow.
A real, live human being who doesn’t just work with your words, but works with YOU - the person behind the words, the person with something to say.
Your draft is the start of something powerful -
let’s shape it into a novel that moves readers and makes an impact!
Services
Revision Planning Together we’ll examine every part of your story to make sure it flows seamlessly, logically, with purpose and impact. We’ll address what needs shoring up and create a revision plan that makes sense for the story you want to tell.
Ongoing Coaching In 1:1 bi-monthly sessions, I'll review your pages, provide feedback, and keep you on track with a Zoom call, so that each submission is a deliberate move toward your finished manuscript.
Insight Sessions A 1:1 virtual coffee date with a book coach, for writers who just want to talk things through. You bring the questions, and I'll put on the kettle & sharpen my pencil. Together we'll brainstorm you out of this fix with fresh ideas to get you moving again.
Editing & Assessment From big-picture developmental editing to polishing prose at the line level.
I provide the accountability, constructive feedback, questioning ear, and editorial support that writers NEED to do their best work.
