Vicki M. Taylor: Writer’s Coach and Mentor

What others had to say about Vicki M. Taylor:

“I am working on my first manuscript and Vicki has been invaluable in helping me understand and apply point of view, active voice, unnecessary words, and other principles on the craft of writing … She has a soft, guiding style that is positive, not critical.”

 — Tom Sandusky

“Vicki Taylor helped my writing grow by kangaroo leaps. She guided my work from editor’s nightmare to polished manuscript in just a few months. Vicki offered helpful suggestions at my skill level, along with encouragement and inspiration. We tackled the basic new writer mistakes: passive verbs, telling/not showing, and overuse of adverbs and adjectives. When I was ready, Vicki attacked point of view issues, boring narratives, and the finer details of grammar. Later, we dealt with character development, plot, dialogue, and pacing. Now, I’m ready to research literary agents. Vicki’s experience with her own publications will help me write an intriguing query letter and synopsis. I’m confident my novel will not be tossed in an agent’s slush pile due to Vicki’s help. I’d recommend her service to any writer seeking guidance.”
