Writing Is a Process

As both a writer and an editor, I put particular focus on the writing process because writing is more than just getting words on a page (though that’s definitely a good start!). The truth is that most writers don’t turn out an exquisitely polished draft in one sitting.

And most (if not all) writers–even the most experienced ones–can benefit from a second (or third, etc.) pair of eyes on their work.

Twenty years of writing workshop experience (some as a participant, some as a facilitator) informs my own creative process, as well as how I guide others through revision.

As an editor, I offer different levels of feedback and editing, customized to a writer’s individual needs.

You don’t have to write alone!

I write more about craft and process (specifically in relation to short and very short fiction) on my Substack, JEK Writes.
