Book Coach Mia P. Manansala, Plus Giveaway!
*** Giveaway closed. Congratulations to Zoe W., the winner! ***
I'm thrilled to announce that my author friend Mia P. Manansala has branched out into book coaching! What is a book coach? It's kind of like an editor and cheerleader all rolled into one. Or read Mia's definition, which is undoubtedly more accurate.
Mia recently did me the favor of critiquing an unpublished novel I have lying around, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that she is a thorough and insightful editor. That's no surprise when you consider how she's been a Pitch Wars mentor and is personally dedicated to improving her own craft. (Her debut novel, a cozy mystery, releases next year!)
To help celebrate Mia's new career, I've arranged with her to give away either a fifty-page manuscript review with in-document notes and coaching call, or an agent submission package critique, winner's choice. You can read more about Mia's services on her website. Please note, Mia's specialty is mystery and crime fiction, although she accepts most other fiction genres (no memoir or nonfiction, please).
Authors and aspiring authors, check out her website, and if you decide her services are right for you please enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter below. The prize must be redeemed by December 31, 2020 and is nontransferable and nonexchangeable (additional rules are on my website). Good luck!
