Storytellers shape reality.
That means writing a memoir, self-help book, or book about your innovative concept or methodology puts you in a unique position to make a difference in the world. But what happens when putting pen to paper feels daunting?
- Maybe you don’t know where to start.
- You’re not sure how to get your story to pour out.
- Or writing isn’t your passion.
- Maybe you got lost when writer’s block hit you mid-draft.
- You can’t find the motivation to keep moving forward.
- Or you don’t have enough time.
Ready to bring your story to life?
Ghostwriting
With this done-for-you, yet collaborative option, you’ll be able to “download” your expertise, insight, and experience, and then pass the writing process off to a seasoned writer. I’ll propose a global frame and overall structure for your book, and we’ll create a chapter outline. From there, I’ll write the first draft of each chapter, in your voice, and you’ll review each chapter, as we begin the refinement process.
Editing
Already have a rough draft? With this service, a fresh set of eyes scrutinizes your manuscript. With structure, formatting, and flow in mind, I’ll review and revise your manuscript, chapter-by-chapter, including musical line editing to ensure each sentence is powerful and easy-to-follow. Lastly, an outside proofreader will do a final edit to prepare your book for publishing.
Book Coaching
If you want to take the wheel on your journey to becoming an author, I can provide feedback, accountability, support, and industry insight while you write. You’ll get the guidance and encouragement you need to successfully tell your story. With my prompts, you’ll be able to tap memories so they flow out like water from a spigot.
Meet the
Writer & Coach
I’m Sandra Yin.
And I love to uncover hidden voices. Growing up, I rarely saw anyone on TV or in the news who resembled me. Nor was my experience reflected in the books I read. Like many other people, especially women and immigrants, I was used to feeling invisible. As I’ve honed my craft over the past 20+ years, I’ve made it my mission to bring more stories to life on the page, so that everyone can feel seen.
The Process
Book a Free Call
Once you schedule a time to chat with me, we’ll meet to discuss the project and see if we’re a good fit for each other. This process involves deep collaboration, so it’s important that we work well together.
Analysis & Recommendations
Based on our conversation, or if you submit a manuscript for review, I’ll provide you with an analysis and my recommendations on how to enhance your book’s market viability, structure, and flow.
Seal the Deal
If you’re ready to invest in yourself and your story, I’ll send you a contract and invoice based on the service option you select.
The Journey Begins
It’s time to breathe life into your book, without the hassle! Depending on the option you choose, I’ll get to know you, learn your voice, review any submitted materials, and begin either shaping, writing, or editing your manuscript.
