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!

5 Reasons Book Merchandise Enhances Your Author Brand

As an author, you've undoubtedly thought about creating book merchandise for your book before. It's something every author dreams of, but not a venture that every authors feels is necessary or plausible.

5 Easy Ways Your Family & Friends Can Help Promote Your Book

An author's career is only as stable as the community behind it. It can take a village to raise a self-published author and every bit of help counts. When we first publish, we may feel initial disappointment when those we care about don't automatically rally behind us. Often you'll find the reason for that is because the non-writers closest to us don't know how to be helpful, or what kind of support we need to get started. The second problem is that we, as writers, don't know

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!"
