Hi, I'm Tiffany Grimes, the founder of Burgeon Design and Editorial. I'm a book coach and editor and I work with both fiction and nonfiction authors from idea to publication to help demystify publishing, and empower you to create a writing process that's just as human as you are. In psychology, the 'shadow self' refers to the parts of yourself whether personality traits, emotion, thoughts that are difficult to accept. These are the parts of us we don't want to acknowledge, identify or embrace but then make up the juiciest bits of ourselves. The bits that make our stories thrum with life and deep emotionality. To tap into this make a list of anything you've ever read or seen that made you feel completely seen, and then write down why you relate to it. Next, make a list of things you find a weird, uncanny, questionable, concerning, interesting, sexy, unsure, taboo, or unsettling. Mine these lists in order to get ultra specific and authentic in your writing. Author mentorship is a blend of editing and book coaching for fiction memoir and select nonfiction writers. This is a unique for you three-month program where we'll tackle your specific needs to ensure you're getting the support you need to reach your goals anywhere from idea to submission. This might look like finishing your draft, completing revisions, or planning to submit to literary agents or publishers. Head to burgeondesignandeditorial.com for more information.
