Tara Goedjen's novels have been published with Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster.

 

Before writing her own books, Tara worked as

-a reader for a renowned literary magazine

-an assistant editor for an international, peer-reviewed journal

-an editor for a genre fiction imprint of a Big 5 publisher

-a freelance editor for publishers like Pan Macmillan Australia and Harlequin Australia (now a division of HarperCollins).

 

For a short time only, Tara is opening up editing and consulting slots as part of her preorder campaign for her upcoming release, Please Enjoy Your Stay! Preorders can be any format, from any retailer (though physical books make great gifts!).

​

The offers: ​

​

30-minute phone chat. Let's talk anything publishing or project related, including getting an agent, pitching your current project, problem solving any writing issues, exploring writing path options, etc. Instead of my usual fee, I'm taking clients in exchange for 2 preorders (& you can book follow-up sessions).

​

Edits on your first 10 pages. This hands-on edit is perfect for anyone querying or anyone who wants an editor's help at the line level. (I have 6+ years of professional editing experience.) Includes a 20-minute phone call. This package is currently offered in exchange for 4 preorders and is an excellent deal!​

​

Query letter critique. A read of your query letter, including line edits and comments in exchange for 1 preorder. 

​

​Mini manuscript critique. A clean read of your first 20 pages, followed by a 20-minute phone conversation to give overall feedback. Currently offered in exchange for 3 preorders.
