Dreaming of writing
queer fiction for children or young adults?
Let’s get your story out.
Work with an LGBTQ+ book coach and editor who specialises in children’s and young adult fiction
Hi, I’m Amy
A certified book coach and
children’s book editor with over a decade of editing experience
I’m on a mission to help writers of queer children’s and young adult fiction who dream of making a difference in the world to overcome self-doubt so they can write with confidence and pride.
Why?
Because LGBTQ+ visibility matters. So we need to raise our voices and get our stories out.
Book coaching, editing and proofreading
for writers of LGBTQ+ fiction for children and young adults
You’ve got a story burning inside of you
And your dream is to …
Write the LGBTQ+ book you wish you’d had as a child or teenager.
Explore and draw on your own experiences to inspire young readers.
Bring to life three-dimensional, incidentally queer characters.
Help LGBTQ+ children and teenagers feel seen, understood and valued.
Create an exciting fictional world that reflects the diversity of real life.
Celebrate and explore LGBTQ+ pride and history in all its colours.
Craft an LGBTQ+ story that evokes joy and wonder among readers of all kinds.
Fight LGBTQ+ inequality and the lack of diverse characters in literature.
But you’re also worried …
Fear not.
You don’t have to go on this journey alone.
As a certified book coach and experienced developmental editor, I’ll create a safe space in which we’ll explore your story together. A space for you to learn and grow as a writer, dig deep into your why and unravel the story you need to tell.
Here’s how I can help
Book Coaching
Not sure how to get your LGBTQ+ story onto the page? Almost finished a draft but you’ve hit a wall?
Let me help!
Whether you need support to plan your story, write your first draft or revise your manuscript, my 1-1 coaching will help you on your way.
Manuscript Evaluations
Written your first draft but you’re not sure if it’s working? Know something feels off but can’t quite work out what?
No problem.
With my manuscript evaluation packages, you’ll receive big-picture feedback that will show you what’s working and what’s not quite there yet.
Pitching Support
Think you’re ready to start pitching your book but not sure your submission materials are up to scratch?
I’ve got you.
I’ll assess your synopsis, query letter and first 50 pages, and even create a personalised agent list and pitch strategy for you.
