Editing and Creativity Coaching for Independent Authors



Developmental editing and story coaching for mysteries, memoirs, and queer romance.
My services are particularly geared towards indie authors who want to make high quality books.
Julia Gandrud is a gift to any writer who isn't 100% confident in what they're doing. Pulling from expert sources, literary resources, and always with her finger on the pulse of today's literary trends, Julia took the time to educate me on everything I'd missed during my 20 year hiatus from the keyboard. She also kindly soothed my jitters and gave me many examples to help me embrace the modern literary world. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with her.

Working with Julia was an absolute pleasure! She was easy to communicate with, incredibly professional, and offered so many insightful suggestions that made my cozy mystery book so much stronger. Her attention to detail and thoughtful feedback helped bring my story to life. I highly recommend her to any author looking for a supportive and talented editor!
