Where Do You Work/Nosh?

January 12, 2020 by Nancy LaFever Leave a Comment

As a work-at-home editor/writer/author coach, I tend to become a tad uncivilized and antisocial. As in, “How many days have I worn this sweatshirt?” Or I’ll catch myself asking the pup questions that are above her reading level and pay grade.

Oregon Coast: The Pull of Paradise

November 8, 2016 by Nancy LaFever Leave a Comment

Like most serendipitous life events, meeting author Alice Lewis, editing her book, becoming friends, and falling in love with her village of Yachats, Oregon, did not follow a linear path. But these occurrences began when I took on the edit of Lewis’ work-in-progress, “Ghosts of Yachats.” Billed as a paranormal romance/ghost story, I wasn’t sure what to expect from that unique genre description. Lewis and I met via email and discussed the work required to hit that coveted finish line of publication.

Praise

As a first-time author, I came into our professional relationship with a lot of insecurities about my abilities. Nancy’s background in counseling certainly came in handy! I asked her to be tough on my work – and I was very pleased when it came back full of “red marks.” She delivered her critique with a lot of encouragement and with a wonderfully dry sense of humor. Oh, I have absolutely loved working with Nancy.

— Lisa Weldon, author of “Twenty Pieces, a memoir: a 30-day walk through my past and into my future”
