Good writers are made, not born.

I know this is true. Nobody was born knowing how to write a novel.

I help stuck writers finish their drafts.

I can help you craft working scenes that build great stories.

I can help you structure plots that readers will love.

Isn’t it about time you finished that novel?

As a developmental editor, it’s my mission to help writers create powerfully plotted stories with compelling characters, backed by credibly supported world-building. I help writers to create exciting stories from concept to draft, and help make good manuscripts even better. I can show you how to turn around a story you thought was going nowhere.

I’m Julia Blair, Story Coach and Developmental Editor, and I’m passionate about my love of story in all forms.

I work with fantasy and historical fiction novelists to finish their drafts and level up their skills. I’ve trained with some of the best editors in the business, and studied in person with master storyteller Robert McKee and expert editor Shawn Coyne. I’m one of the original Story Grid Certified Editors, and I can help you apply proven techniques to your novel and your writing that will level up your craft.
