Hello friends!

Hello Friends!

Welcome to Writing It Wells where I share my love for all things literary and help authors edit their novels.

My passion for books began when I was a child, learning to read and then write from my teachers. I fondly remember weekend trips with my family to Barnes and Noble and staying up late in high school to pen my own stories. When I discovered Tamora Pierce's novels featuring female warriors who went to battle and fell in love, I was hooked on the written word. I knew in that moment that writing would be my destiny. Today I help writers embrace their own writing journeys and offer support where it's most needed- in the editing phase!

Building Setting: 5 Setting Mistakes to Avoid

Listen, writing a book is tough. There are a lot of elements and moving parts that you need to keep track of and it begins to feel like a balancing act the further you get into it. Sometimes it feels like trying to juggle china plates while being set on fire- without breaking a single dish. Depends on the day and it's enough to drive anybody crazy. With that being said, your setting can make or break your story. Writing is about the harmony of the elements- characters, settin

SETTING/WORLDBUILDING

Building Setting: Resources & Inspiration

“Places are never just places in a piece of writing. If they are, the author has failed. Setting is not inert. It is activated by point of view.” -Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House Hello all! I hope this post finds you in good health and general well-being in this chaotic time. I'm currently writing from my couch where my work attire is PJ's and my miniature pinscher, Ranger is snuggled up underneath the blanket at my side. Continuing with this month's theme of setting

Your Novel matters!

As an editor, I believe that every author has an impact on our world. Whether the goal is to traditionally publish or to self-publish, every writer has a story that deserves to shine its brightest.

Whether we aim to inform or entertain, the power of words cannot be denied. While we all strive for clarity and exemplary storytelling, sometimes we fall short of our goal and the details grow muddled.

It's precisely this moment within the creative process that you need the help of a friend with a keen eye for detail, a wealth of industry knowledge, and a fine red pen. Someone who cares as much about your novel and its success as you do.

That's where I come in. My Developmental Editing will help you streamline your storytelling, enhance your strengths and identify your weaknesses. Together we'll pull your story together and weave in what's missing to take it to the next level. Together we can elevate your story and increase your book's chance at success!

When she's not writing she's spending her time reading fantasy novels, cooking (her second passion), watching movies with her husband, wrangling her miniature pinscher Ranger, and collecting more gnomes.

TESTIMONIALS

"I would highly recommend working with Alina to anyone who wants a comprehensive and professional review of their book for critiquing. In the future, as I write more books, I will definitely be asking for her professional opinion again. She was a pleasure to work with and anyone would benefit extremely well from her knowledge. Thank you Alina!"
