Meet your editor and book coach.
Joanne Haines
I’m delighted to meet you! Thanks for stopping by!
I was a line and copy editor for over fifteen years before transitioning to developmental editing and book coaching for these past two years. Working directly with authors and book-length manuscripts has always been my greatest joy. I have honed a superpower of seeing and fixing both macro and micro issues in a manuscript while having authentic relationships with authors. While zooming in and out with my editorial lens on the page, I won’t lose sight of your goals and intentions.
As a developmental editor, I specialize in shaping (planning and revising) full manuscripts. I am a Story Grid Certified Editor and apply Story Grid's tools and methodology to my editing and coaching. The Story Grid integrates science, spirituality, and philosophy to transform writers into storytellers.
As an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach, I always meet writers where they are at in their writing journeys and work to set a clear path for them to move forward. If you are already a plotter, we can nerd out together on structure while getting your story finished and polished. If you are a pantser, I can help with the structure and detail work while you channel the muse.
