You know you’re called to write.

Maybe it’s a book, finally distilling your years of hard-earned expertise into one tidy package.

Maybe it’s a personal narrative, telling your story of becoming.

Maybe it’s blog posts, or a series of devotionals.

Or maybe you don’t know the “what” yet, only the verb: write.

But self-doubt can be crushing. And the last thing you want to do is put something shabby into the world with your name on it.

You know you need help, but what kind? The world of editing can be so overwhelming.

You need someone you can trust, who knows the art and craft of writing and can guide you to your ultimate goal:

Releasing that small part of yourself into the world to make an impact.

It shouldn’t be this hard to get quality help with your writing.

I know what it’s like to want to make progress but not know where to start.

“I have used other editing services that did not have this kind of range or sense of partnership: they were more wooden and mechanical, less thorough, and did not ‘think’ their way into the substance of what I was saying in order to come alongside the project. However, Mara grasps what the writing is about and works on its best prose presentation. It’s amazing how she can improve a manuscript. I highly recommend her to all authors.” - Michael Peterson, PhD.

“Thank you for all of your help! Working with you is truly a writing education I never got in college. I'm really enjoying learning how to tell a better story and seeing my writing improve with each session.” - Jessica H.

You’ve written it.
