Laura E. Thompson:

 

Editing & Author Journey: In 2009, Laura received a subsidy offer from a small publisher. "Give us a reasonable upfront fee, we will do all the work and create a beautiful book that will sell and you'll make back that money in no time," they said. After producing low quality work and false promises Laura was left feeling used and disappointed. She made a promise to herself to not only take control of her own future but to ensure other authors do not have the same experience.

 

Laura studied Content Editing and worked as a freelance Content/DE editor for three years. World building, creating feeling and depth for stories and characters is what Laura loves.

 

Laura met R.B. on an author chat group. She quickly bonded with him over shared experiences and when he mentioned he was starting a Line/Copy freelance business Laura signed up to become his first client and was shocked at the result. He helped polish her prose, improve her grammar, and teach her about the rules and expectations of the publishing industry. Laura wouldn’t publish her books without him now.

R.B. Michaels:

​

Editing Journey: R.B. started to edit books in 2019 after experiencing issues with editors inside a publishing package and a lot of money lost on empty promises and poor quality work. Fed up with the frustration of others, R.B. decided to enroll and complete a certificate editing course, through Chicago University of Literary Arts, which he scored in the top percentile of the class. R.B. spent two years honing his skills and created his own macros to help edit performance and increase editor skills. R.B. has developed a unique power structure format that scores each sentence and paragraph. Clients rave about the results.

​

Today, R.B. has teamed with Laura E. Thompson. Together, their editing and individual skills are merged into one to create satisfying results for authors at reasonable costs. Writer's Journey aims to help authors develop masterpieces they can be proud to publish.
