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!

15 Steps To Build An Audience For Your Novel

The excitement we feel when writing a novel can be uplifting and motivating. As writers we get lost in fantasy worlds, emotionally attached to our characters, and dream a little harder with each word we write. This can create a conflict of interest when it's time to actually publish. While we believe in our stories and their potential, we sometimes forget that everyone else in the universe won't think the same way...or even give our novels the time of day. This can shatter th

How To Build Your Author Brand in 10 Easy Steps

Authors everywhere are searching for the same thing: exposure. If you're lucky enough to have a traditional publisher a lot of this comes with the paved territory. But when you're an independent or self-published author marketing and gaining an audience can become a DIY project. For many self-published writers building an author brand is a weak spot. Confusion, lack of direction, and being an introvert can all stack against you when you're trying to establish an effective aut

Getting Around The Algorithm: 5 Tips To Increase Your Instagram Visibility

In today's virtual world, it's almost impossible to sell books without utilizing the internet. Whether you publish traditionally or self-publish, writers must learn how to market themselves effectively on social media. With digital reading devices like the Kindle and the connectivity of the internet, being able to draw attention to one's book and use social media, like Instagram, to promote yourself as a author is crucial.

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!

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!"
