Creating Fictional Languages: Tips, Inspiration, and Points to Consider
One of the most underappreciated elements of worldbuilding in fiction has got to be languages...
Got a book idea but no idea how to start it, get it finished, get your manuscript published, or how to market your book and yourself? You’re not alone – in fact, apparently 90% of people believe they’ve ‘got a book’ in them and yet only 3% of them go on to write and publish theirs.
So welcome to a very small, special group of people taking the steps to becoming published authors. There are a few steps besides the writing so we can work on one at a time, breaking things down into manageable actions you can take with confidence.
I’ve been doing this long enough to have learned more than a few secrets. Writing, editing, all the publication tasks, book marketing, getting press, and keeping book sales coming in… I’ve been there, done that, and drank quite a few glasses of wine to get through the tougher days!
I offer One-to-One Author Coaching and Professional Book Editing. Find out more about these services below or, alternatively, get in touch to discuss your requirements!
Whether you want an editor who will work with you one-on-one throughout the entire editing process or you just need someone to take you over the finish line then I can step in and guide you to becoming a published author this year. You will always receive a personal and bespoke service from me. As a published author and professional editor, I understand the excitement and passion in publishing your own book.
Struggling with one particular part of your author journey? Perhaps you need some guidance on the steps to take after you’ve written your book – whether to pitch to agents or self-publish. Or maybe you want to learn how to market your upcoming book. My Author Coaching services are perfect whether you are a brand new novelist, a business owner ready to share your expertise, or want to write a self-help book to help others.

Publishing your very first novel is scary. But when you do it with Kirsten? Less so. She was just the person I needed to take this novel all the way from a draft to a published book. With her touch the content is now the best it can be, with my voice still very much there. 110% recommend!

I’m delighted to have had Kirsten as my editor. Her advice and tips have been a game changer for me. I’m finally excited about my book which is thanks to her editing and guidance. I would highly recommend her services. She’s professional, friendly and great at her job.

For me, working with an author is a partnership! I’ve worked on fiction and nonfiction across a variety of genres. All my clients have 5-star reviews and some have hit bestseller, been noted in ‘Top Books for…’ listings, and invited to speak at events.
