Our work is very much in line with the writer-editor relationship of days past; your coach and editor is there for you to support you in all of the ways you need, whether it’s with a new project you’re still brainstorming and organizing to reading through pages and offering developmental feedback to putting their nose to the page and editing your manuscript into its best self.

Whether you’re still sorting out what you need or you’re zeroing in on a specific aspect of work, your coach and editor is there as a guide, accountability partner, and support system at every level of your process and work.

What you will come to find invaluable is the trust, connection, and the opportunity to be heard, valued, and supported as a creative and producer of ideas by someone who is both a professional writer and a seasoned writing coach and editor. Being supported in in this way makes the work you do— and your writing in general — far more rewarding and pleasurable. 

After you’ve decided to plunge in, we’ll reach out to welcome you with a client agreement and a short questionnaire to learn about your work and what type of support you need. We’ll then get you set you up with the most appropriate coach and editor from our team in a secure private space on our editors’ platform, so you can get to work!

We use a secure online app for client work. You and your editor will have a private team where you can chat 24/7, schedule meetings, and easily share files, websites, documents, and more. Everything is housed in one place, so you can always see all your work at a glance.

We work hourly to give you the opportunity to determine how you wish to spend your time and budget. Our billing is measured in 5-minute increments, so you only pay for the time you use, whether it’s with your coach and editor in meetings or when they’re working with your manuscript. 

This is where our support is singular; our coaches are editors specifically because we know how essential it is that you are cared for as a complex unit. Your coach will support you while being able to apply high level skill to your work at every stage of editing. Being able to work in this holistic way is highly reassuring and maximally productive.

We got you! We work with writers of every level, background, and skill set. If you know you are craving support but aren’t sure what that would look like, during your free initial consultation, we can discuss your writing, your goals, your process, and any other area that affects your work to come up with a personalized strategy that will support you in all the right areas and gets you moving in the most productive direction.

Your coach & editor will further refine your schedule and strategy with you and will be on hand for all of the steps involved to get you — and your writing — where you want to go.

A few reviews from our clients ...

Working with One Lit Place gave me the framework of support, insight, and accountability that I needed to successfully get over 70,000 words out of my brain and onto paper. Jenna's weekly emails and videos were on point and action focused. My coach, Shasta, made me want to write every week. Not to please her or impress her, but because her feedback on my writing made it so much better.
Heather Campbell, writer
One Lit Place has been especially helpful in talking me through the process, brainstorming ways to combat writer's block, and keeping me accountable. My writing coach has been flexible through this program and I've really enjoyed working with her! One Lit Place turns the overwhelming process of writing a book into an enjoyable one. Definitely worth the investment!
Sabrina Marie, writer
I have only high praise for the team at One Lit Place! My writing coach and editor, Krista Foss has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She has guided me from a naive and undisciplined new writer into a legit sophisticated and savoy writer! I feel like I have grown personally and professionally under her tutelage. Krista is also highly conscious of costs and time management. This has assured that we were able to collaborate with no wasted effort or expense. The investment I made in One Lit Place was exactly what I needed!
