Hey, I’m Cole.

I help writers find the right words to say.

My Approach

Collaborative

I believe in the power of collaboration to create exceptional books. As an extension of your team, I immerse myself in your vision and goals. I work closely with you to develop a publishing-ready manuscript or engaging pitch letter that gets you results.

Iterative

I take an iterative approach in my work to ensure the final result aligns with your creative vision and reflects your unique voice. We’ll work together to refine and fine-tune the plot structure, voice, and character growth, leaving no detail overlooked.
