WORK WITH Violette
Scene RX
Unsure of what your strengths and weaknesses are in writing? You don’t have to wonder much longer. I will line edit a scene of yours and write you an editorial letter detailing your scene structure strengths and where you could improve.
DRAFT RX
Stuck part way through your draft? Finished multiple drafts, but still feeling stuck? The Draft RX package provides you a personalized Revision Roadmap: a big picture editorial assessment of your draft with clear next steps to guide you to the finish line.
1:1 Coaching
Feeling lost in the writing world?
I’m here to help guide you through the next steps of your process, no matter if you are trying to write your first draft or polish up your manuscript before publishing.
book Coaching is more than editing. it’s guiding you to the finish line.
Where are you in your JOURNEY?
Step one
Discovery Draft
This is the round where Pantsers write through their draft and Plotters outline or create story summaries. I love this round when the creativity is flowing, but it is also the hardest to accomplish and where most people get stuck.
Step two
REVISION ROADMAP
These rounds of edits shore up your draft into a manuscript that is coherent and complete.
My 5 pathways to a finished draft: Genre Conventions, Protagonist’s Arc, Antagonist POV, Story Structure and Scene Strength.
Step three
DEVELOPMENTAL EDIT
For drafts you believe to be done, but you feel that there are plot holes or ways to make it stronger, but you’re not sure what. The Developmental Edit includes inline comments, scene by scene review of your manuscript, looking at big picture edits.
STEP FOUR
LINE EDIT & COPYEDIT
Once your story is solid and you’re preparing to publish, allow an editor to go over your document word by word. A Line Edit will help strengthen your voice and paragraph structure, followed by a copyedit which perfects the grammar.
STEP FIVE
PUBLISHING PATH
Familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of Self Publishing versus Traditional Publishing. Find yourself a mentor to help with this search and prepare your manuscript to the industry’s standard for your chosen publishing path.

I believe in…
There’s no right Way
Pantser? Plotter? If you are a structure nerd like me, you will have a bookshelf of writing guides and subscriptions galore for organizational sites. And I love it! But it proves that there is no one way, no right way to write. It’s what works for you! And I’m here to help you figure out what that is.
T00ls, not rules
So many times, I’ve caught myself thinking, this is it, this is the one tool I need to finally make writing easy for me! But inevitably, I find myself struggling at the same points. This is because there is no one tool fits all problems. Every thing we learn, you need to absorb what works for you, and put what doesn’t into your toolbox for later or never. There is no one way, or right way, to write.
