SERVICES

At RVbookcoaching, we offer a range of services to support you on your writing journey. A book coach will guide you from an idea to a finished book, a developmental editor will provide feedback to enhance your manuscript, and a line editor will perfect the spelling and style. By combining these services, you can refine every aspect of your manuscript and enhance your writing skills.

Manuscript evaluation

Manuscript evaluation, also called manuscript critique, is a simplified form of developmental editing. During this process, the developmental editor analyses the big picture of your manuscript, ie the story structure, pacing, character- and world-building, style and thematic development.

The developmental editor writes a detailed manuscript evaluation, raging from 6 to 20 pages, with personalised recommendations for improvement. The exact length of the evaluation depends on your manuscript and the specific issues identified. Read more …

My collaboration with Janne was incredibly thorough. As she helped me compile 10 years’ worth of accumulated material, our work turned into a journey through a psychological landscape, which allowed me to gain distance from my own work and view it as something separate from myself. As an author who has long written mostly solo, this sense of separation was crucial. Trusting someone with my raw, long-term material was not easy, but Janne exceeded my expectations: she supported my efforts and understood the thread running through my texts with a perspective I could never have achieved on my own. Editing, especially fiction editing, is an intimate process that requires emotional understanding between the author and editor – I can confidently say that Janne is an empathetic editor and I highly recommend sharing your work with her.

Janne Albert has been an excellent fit for me. Over the course of our work together on my book, I have received invaluable feedback that has quickly improved my writing style and vocabulary. I am very pleased with our collaboration and deeply grateful for the time she has dedicated to helping me.

I used Janne’s services to enhance my writing. She was incredibly thorough, answering all my questions and helping me refine my ideas. I highly recommend Janne, as working with her was a fantastic experience for me.

I love working with Janne. She has guided me so much and has never made me feel inferior, even though I am just starting out on my writing journey. Whenever I hit a roadblock with my story, she always knows the right questions to ask and somehow I always leave our sessions with a clearer vision of my story and a deeper understanding of my characters.
