If you’re visiting my site looking for editing, writing coach, or teaching services, you’ve found the right place! I can’t tell you how much I love sharing with others the skills I’ve developed over the past decade of studying writing craft. I work hard to communicate clearly, kindly, and with candor, helping the writers I work with to improve and deepen their understanding of writing and novel construction. I’m open to working with you on your specific needs, but to start, I offer a few options:

Testimonials
“Juliana Brandt is a brilliant writer and editor. I’m a literary agent, and she still teaches me things about craft every time we talk.”
“Juliana’s editing skills were exactly what my book needed to tie it all together. I easily saved hundreds of hours of stumbling about with her help. Critique partners and readers are great, but there’s nothing like the work of a true editor.”
“Juliana’s editorial insights are fantastic; she never fails to leave my manuscripts stronger than when I started.”
“I’ve just had a crash course MFA in creative writing… what a bargain!”
