It was a dark and stormy deadline...

I love to write fiction, don't you?  But with fiction, like life, it's easier to deal with yours than mine...

If you've already created something I can become a bit of a fan of, but you need someone to fill in the next lines, it's not your fault.  You've just been staring at it too long without a qualified outside kick.

There are other reasons that fictioners might want help.  Here's the lowdown:

Reviews and Synopses
For fiction, this is the best sales material.  People want the equivalent of inner-flap synopses.  Sometimes, they want one for every episode or edition of a serial story.  Current and future fans will appreciate when this is written by someone who appreciates the work.  If your fiction is ready for a marketing blitz, I'm ready to give it due treatment from a fresh perspective.  And as a bonus, if I really like it, I'll be telling people about it for years to come.

Plot & Character Planning
If you're working on a novel but experiencing writer's block, I can help inspire and organize you.  I've turned vague descriptions like "epic romance plot, supernatural themed with powerful vampires" into a dozen pages of character details, a plot and chapter outline, including notes on what each character thought or knew at each turning point in the story.  I've also enjoyed assignments where the required result was part or all of a chapter, left off at a tantalizing spot to help the writer get moving.

Ghost Writing
I will be receptive to requests for ghost-writing on novels if the price and timeline are right.  Please, no requests for discounts, delayed payment arrangements, or shared credits.
