Editing and Story Weaving
Enchant your readers with
the magick of written words.
Welcome to Coven of Books, a place where your connection with your story is deeply respected and honored.
As a developmental editor and book writing coach, I am here as a guide to help your story shine and navigate through the cyclic nature of story creating from the spark of an idea to the marketing process. Through these services you will find ways to enhance, improve, and clarify the story elements, while keeping your voice and intent intact.
Let's work together to support your story so it resonates with the clarity, depth, and impact it deserves with your readers.
"Although I have been working on my book for three years off and on, it is through working with developmental editor and book coach Victoria Krouse that my writing has been brought to the next level. Our work together has given me new insights, direction and focus to my writing process.
From our initial meeting she was deeply committed to aiding me in creating a successful marketable book, but beyond that, she helped me to unearth the unexplored deeper personal connections to my writing. Through insightful discussion, simple effective writing exercises and her own dynamic positive personality she has helped me discover the unseen “threads” that connected my author’s story to my book.
Her editorial analysis, commentary and suggestions have given me practical ideas related to plot and character development, identifying and clarifying the voice of the book and distilling the essence of my writing to capture and hold the attention of the reader. Every session that we have brings me closer to creating the book that I envisioned in my mind years ago. I can truthfully say that whatever future success my book has it will be brought about, in no small part, through my work with Victoria Krouse."

My Editing & Book Coaching Philosophy
As an editor and book coach, I see myself in the role of facilitating and providing insight on how to refine your craft and storytelling ability. I am here to help you navigate the story crafting process, from outlining your novel to beyond the publication day.
​
I honor the level of trust you place in me as an editor and coach. I do not take this lightly. My approach to the services I offer is grounded in respect for you and your work.
​
Within this work, I aim to debunk the myth that editors are here to ‘hack and slash’ and instead illuminate paths you may choose to take throughout your journey.. My relationship with you is collaborative. I will always have a deep respect for your role as the creator and ultimate decision maker.
​
I invite you to work with me, so we can create your vision into reality at its fullest expression.
