Why Caroline loves mentoring
Writing a successful book is about craft as well as talent, and authors at all levels benefit from external insight. Many of us, when asking for editorial feedback, want to hear ‘it’s perfect, don’t change a thing!’ – often published authors secretly want to hear this too! – but that isn’t what you’ll get from me. My work gets immeasurably better as a result of thoughtful edits, and I want you to feel the same about yours.
Before looking at how your book works on a sentence level, I firstly consider it as a whole, and focus on making the recommendations that will have the biggest impact. A book’s vision is the author’s, not the editor’s, so any changes and decisions will ultimately be yours, but I will provide direction to help you think these through. All the while, I will champion your book’s strengths, and help you feel energised for the work ahead.
Why we love Caroline
At Jericho Writers, we’re a team of authors, just like you. Four of us are published by the Big 5, while others are deep in the writing process, honing our craft alongside the writers we support. We work with expert book coaches and carefully chosen mentors, selected for their ability to guide writers through every stage of their journey. It’s this approach that has helped countless authors launch their careers, sign with top literary agents, and even become Sunday Times Bestsellers.
Caroline has been an editor with Jericho Writers for over a year. With extensive experience in coaching and mentoring, you’re in safe hands!
